The project consists of six bed towers containing 600 patient rooms, which connect to a diagnostic and treatment base that reflects the existing historical buildings while creating a new architectural language. This presentation will provide an in-depth look at the project and how its patient experience will be reflected in the hospital design and create a new Danish standard.

The presentation will explore the Bispebjerg Human Hospital project site, and how the listed buildings and indigenous species on the hospital grounds helped formulate the winning design for the new hospital. Attendees will learn about the client’s vision and principles for the project, and how these were answered in the two-year competition phases.

Delegates will also learn about:

• How wayfinding played a critical role in the design team’s response to the client’s vision, as well as providing the foundation for the patient experience;
• Issues with varying room designs and layouts, and how the design team settled on the new Danish standard – the single patient room; and
• The process and flexibility of the design, from the two competition phases through the recently submitted schematic design phase.
