Conrad Gargett + Wardle已经交付了澳大利亚第一所专门的心脏病医院，也是南半球唯一的此类医院，为心脏病医院的设计树立了新的国际基准。耗资5.64亿澳元的维多利亚州心脏医院，由莫纳什大学克莱顿校区的莫纳什卫生局运营，现已完工并全面投入使用，提供一系列世界级的临床心脏病学服务、研究和教育。这家拥有196张床位的医院设有七个导管实验室，并将其八层楼中的一层与独立的莫纳什心血管研究中心一起，专门用于莫纳什大学的心脏研究。该建筑以人为本的设计融合了亲生物和亲水原则，将建筑、临床规划、室内设计和景观设计无缝整合，创造出使户外成为平静和治疗环境的一部分的空间。
Conrad Gargett + Wardle have delivered Australia’s first dedicated heart hospital and the only of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, setting a new international benchmark for cardiac hospital design. The $564 million state-of-the-art Victorian Heart Hospital, operated by Monash Health on the Monash University Clayton campus, is now complete and fully operational, providing a range of world-class clinical cardiology services, research, and education. The 196-bed hospital features seven catheterization laboratories and dedicates one of its eight floors to heart research by Monash University, along with the independent Monash Cardiovascular Research Centre. The building’s human-centered design incorporates biophilic and salutogenic principles, with seamless integration of architecture, clinical planning, interior design, and landscape design to create spaces that make the outdoors part of the calming and healing environment.
“科学研究表明，在医疗机构中提供与自然的联系能显著改善病人的结果，包括他们的经验和康复率，”该项目的临床规划负责人，Conrad Gargett公司的负责人Paul Emmett说。
“掌握了这些知识，我们在维多利亚心脏医院设计了一个大型的中央庭院–‘引力之心’，并最大限度地增加了与户外和周围景观接触的机会，”该项目的建筑总监，Wardle公司的合伙人Meaghan Dwyer补充说。
引力之心 “是维多利亚心脏医院的中心点，建筑的外形环绕着景观庭院。它是一个焦点，让人们找到自己的方向，也是一个休养生息的地方，让人们在建筑内从身体上和视觉上与户外联系起来。
“Scientific research well documents that providing a connection with nature within healthcare facilities significantly improves patient outcomes, including their experience and recovery rate,” said the project’s clinical planning lead, Paul Emmett, principal at Conrad Gargett.
“Armed with this knowledge, we designed the Victorian Heart Hospital with a large central courtyard—the ‘gravitational heart’—and have maximized opportunities for engagement with the outdoors and surrounding landscape,” added the project’s architecture director, Meaghan Dwyer, a partner at Wardle.
The ‘gravitational heart’ acts as the centerpiece of the Victorian Heart Hospital, with the building’s form wrapping around the landscaped courtyard. It is a focal point for people to find their bearings and a recuperative place to connect with the outdoors, both physically and visually from within the building.
“医院的设计需要让工作日的活动无缝衔接，其组织结构要清晰可辨。同样重要的是空间、材料和环境质量，它们决定了医院的特征，”埃米特说。
“正是这些方面将强烈影响其居住者的心态，并最终影响所创造的治疗环境的类型。
“The hospital’s design needed to allow the working day’s activities to be seamless, and its organisation to be clear and legible. Equally important are the spatial, material, and ambient qualities which define the hospital’s character,” said Emmett.
“It’s these aspects that will strongly influence the mindset of its occupants and ultimately the type of healing environment that has been created.”
医院的公共空间从院子的圆形辐射出去，与其他地方的直线规划形成对比。公共和临床的循环走廊将庭院、邻近的大学运动场和丹顿农山脉的景色尽收眼底，加强了与自然和日光的内涵联系。维多利亚州心脏病医院吸取了其他主要国际心脏病医院的经验教训，并突破了传统医院设计的界限。设计团队的主要成员与莫纳什卫生局一起访问了新加坡、加拿大、美国和英国的心脏病医院，以了解这些设施的成功和不足之处。
“埃米特说：”体验其他心脏医院确实让我们挑战了传统医院设计的规范，以及在追求创新的过程中如何按照澳大利亚卫生设施指南做事。
The public spaces of the hospital radiate out from the circular form of the courtyard, in counterpoint to the rectilinear planning elsewhere. Circulation corridors, both public and clinical, frame views of the courtyard, along with the neighboring university sports fields and the Dandenong Ranges beyond, enhancing visceral connections to nature and daylight. The Victorian Heart Hospital incorporates lessons learned from other major international heart hospitals and pushes the boundaries of conventional hospital design. Key members of the design team, with Monash Health, visited cardiac hospitals in Singapore, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, for insights into the successes and shortcomings of these facilities.
“Experiencing other heart hospitals really allowed us to challenge the norm of traditional hospital design and how to do things according to Australasian Health Facility Guidelines in the pursuit of innovation,” said Emmett.
维多利亚州心脏病医院的设计有意提供高度个性化的体验，并减轻病人及其家属从抵达到临床空间的压力水平。
“一到维多利亚州心脏病医院，就有一种开放的感觉，大的空隙和中央的咖啡馆，创造了一种公民场所而不是医院的感觉，”领导建筑设计的Wardle负责人Stefan Mee说。
“他补充说：”通过建筑的渐进式旅程逐渐增加了临床空间的宁静感，为病人创造了一种安全和舒适的氛围。
The Victorian Heart Hospital has been intentionally designed to provide a highly personalized experience and alleviate the stress levels of patients and their families from arrival through to the clinical spaces.
“Upon arrival at the Victorian Heart Hospital, there is a sense of openness, with large voids and a central café, creating a feeling of a civic place rather than a hospital,” said Wardle principal Stefan Mee, who led the architectural design.
“The progressive journey through the building gradually increases a sense of tranquillity in the clinical spaces, creating an atmosphere of safety and comfort for patients,” he added.
精心打造的室内色调融合了天然木材和泥土色调，从周围景观的颜色和纹理中获得灵感，包括历史悠久的马西森树–一棵400多岁的宏伟河红胶，傲然挺立在主入口。引人注目的风化钢立面将维多利亚州心脏病医院确立为莫纳什校园的地标性建筑，同时缓缓地嵌在绿树成荫的景观中，并为其提供遮阳保护。
“Mee说：”随着时间的推移，穿孔钢屏会逐渐风化，减少了建筑的热负荷，并将眩光降到最低，同时由于穿孔的密度，仍然允许向外看。
“通过扩散自然光，屏幕还能软化阴影，使室内安静下来”。
The carefully crafted interior palette incorporates natural timbers and earthy tones, drawing inspiration from the colors and textures of the surrounding landscape including the historic Matheson Tree – a grand 400+-year-old River Red Gum that stands proudly at the main entrance. The striking weathered steel façade establishes the Victorian Heart Hospital as a landmark building on the Monash campus, while gently nesting within the tree-lined landscape and providing protection from the sun.
“The perforated steel screen, which will weather over time, reduces the heat load to the building and minimizes glare while still permitting views out due to the density of perforation,” said Mee.
“By diffusing natural daylight, the screen also softens shadows and calms the interior.”
设计过程是由前哈佛大学教授Sarah Williams Goldhagen主持的项目范围内的设计愿景研讨会开始的，Sarah Williams Goldhagen是建筑和景观、城市和城市设计以及基础设施和公共艺术方面的获奖作家和演讲者。这个研讨会将客户、利益相关者和设计顾问统一到一个设计愿景中，导致了一个非常成功的项目结果。
The design process was initiated with a project-wide design visioning workshop facilitated by former Harvard professor, Sarah Williams Goldhagen, an award-winning writer and lecturer on architecture and landscapes, cities and urban design, and infrastructure and public art. This workshop unified the clients, stakeholders, and design advisors in a design vision that has led to a highly successful project outcome.
