Best hospital designs for Global Awards shortlisted

MELBOURNE: The shortlist for the best hospital design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

The Narrogin Health Service is in the running for an award this year, up against eight other entries in the public architecture category.

In an approach to health architecture, architect Silver Thomas Hanley championed the vision of hospitals as key community buildings, which should evoke a sense of “pride” and “place”.

The NHS redevelopment sought to deliver a facility which showed through design thinking, community consultation and collaboration can result in a project as beautiful as it is functional.

The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
