URBAN CONTEXT
MASTER PLANThe site is located just south of the Chicago loop and Congress Parkway next to the Chicago River. The two city-block size site is bounded by the River on the west, W. Harrison St. on north, S. Wells St. on the east and extends till W. Polk St. in the south. The 8.75 acres site is currently empty.
The site is embraced by a combination of residential, commercial and hospitality buildings with heavy traffic concentrated on the Harrison Street. The Well Street on the eastern side has considerably less traffic with more parking areas. Construction materials like glass, brick, stone are abundantly used which forms the greater part of the architecture of the vicinity. The challenge here is to develop a design which integrates into the community and thus giving a sense of stability to the eye.
SITE ANALYSISThe site can be accessed from the Harrison street(northern side) and the exit could be made into the Well street (eastern side) for efficient circulation. Glass, brick and granite can be used in the design to blend with the surroundings. An open space could be provided at the entrance to get a better view of the city and the park. This space acts as a transition space.

FOCAL POINTCONCEPTThe three buildings, Hotel, Gallery and the Arena, which serve different purposes leisure, knowledge and entertainment, are treated with equal importance in this program. The main concept of the design is the fundamental element of architecture-“The Visual Axis”. The orientation of main axis of the Hotel and the Gallery aligned with the Chicago River and Wells St.- to make the site harmoniously blend with the trapezoidal site.
The Hotel and the Gallery were designed to be high rises to blend with the Chicago skyline and it is balanced with the less verticality of Arena by making it, the Arena the focal point between these two buildings and to the site. The Arena was framed between the other two buildings to provide the visitors from the main entrance on Harrison St, a grand entrance. Narrowing flight of steps breaks the monotony, elevates the perspective and heightens anticipation as visitors approach the building complex at the podium level, where they are greeted by an open space triangulated by the three buildings. Open spaces and the river walk encourage the visitors to, appreciate the forms of the buildings, enjoy nature and appreciate the urban landscape of Chicago

CONCEPT - "CRACKED" CONCRETE
In contrast to traditional rigid moulds such as timber or steel formwork, cable formwork could be manipulated into any kind of shape. Its flexibility allows designer to position the formwork in a very sculptured way and take advantage of the fluidity of concrete, creating highly optimized, architecturally interesting building forms. All these characteristics make cable formwork perfect for a concrete lamp design.

Phase 3 is a further exploration on light and concrete formwork. This is a natural light capture device inspired by an analemmatic sundial.
In this project, tie of concrete formwork is part of the important design element which is being used as a guide to indicate time.
As sunlight cast into each units, it lights up the ties, casting shadows on the concrete wall. These ties are deliberately positioned such that the number of ties that casted shadows changed hourly, indicating the elapse of time.

UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITYWHY IS HEALTHCARE SO IMPORTANT IN EL CANTON?
El Canton does not have any health center in their rural community. People who suffer from diseases have to go to health center in other town, which is a serious problem if emergency happens.
Together in El Paraise is a place for the residents of El Cantón and the surrounding communities to heal. The goal of Together in El Paraise is not only a place to get well, but also is a hub for the community to gather and create a support network. Upon completion, Juntos en El Paraíso will be the center that helps create a sense of belonging for the communities in the region.
Most people there do not have access to car. Currently the closest place to seek medical attention is in the county seat of Teupasenti, a 2 and 1/2 hour walk from El Canton, which is very time consuming.
People in El Canton are threatened by various of diseases, such as AIDS, dengue, malaria, yellow fever, cholera and hepatitis. Some of them are highly infectious or even fatal.
Because of El Canton’s central location, if the new health center is built, it will benefit a total of 12 communities, providing access to basic health care to nearly 5,000 people.

PLAN DESIGN
The organization of the plan emphasizes the patient experience and privacy. The program is divided into outpatient and inpatient services. The outpatient consult and dental clinic are in the center pavilion to provide easy access to patients with minor illnesses. The treatment and inpatient ward enjoy more privacy and isolation from the public areas.
MODUALThe 3.2m x 3.2m module provides flexibility for the clinic operation, as well as repetition for the ease of construction
COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK — Main Building Material
The incorporation of CEB provides several opportunities for this small span structure. The first being ease of construction with consideration to volunteer labor, inavailability of power tools and the use of local materials. Another being the building’s structural module can be discreet enough to match the local vernacular and provide a high level of versatility for future additions.

At the column points the CEB alternate between header and stretcher, providing vertical reinforcement in both directions. Half bricks are used to stabilize the voids.
At 1.2m, a reinforced sill beam is cast in place atop the low brick wall, providing lateral support for all interior and exterior walls. Windows are placed atop sill beam and bricks are installed with mortar between window hangars.
Wall is then capped with a reinforced concrete bond beam, extending through all interior and exterior walls.

The new health clinic implements passive strategies that integrate with the roof and building design. The building orientation takes advantage of the prevailing wind directions to encourage cross ventilation. The building includes a double layer roof system. The photovoltaic panels on the top layer not only serves as a shading device but also reduces the solar heat gain through the building’s roof.

The roof structure is composed of two levels, the lower roof protects the building interiors from natural elements; the upper roof, supported on bamboo space frame structure, shields the building from direct sunlight, while reducing solar heat gain in the building. Composed of photovoltaic panels, the upper roof diverts the sun’s radiation into usable energy to power the campus. Solar energy can also be stored for future use in batteries.
For ease of construction, the bamboo space frame members are pre-fabricated in the nearby town and are easily transported to the project site because the components are small and light weight (compared to conventional wood truss).

AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE
FAILED ROOF
CANOPY
The existing hospital on the Camejo campus partially collapsed during the earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010 while it was under construction. After initial analysis, we found more structural problems due to various factors. We were concerned about the safety, the longevity, as well as the potentially high cost for examining and reconstructing the integrity of the remaining concrete structure. Therefore, a new proposal is prefered.
The hospital building constructed on the CAMEJO campus prior to the Haitian earthquake was not designed to resist lateral loads. Failures occurred at column and beam connections. The building was still under construction at the time of the earthquake. The weight of the second floor slab and lack of shear stiffness were major factors in the failure of the second story.
The heavy canopy at the entrance/exit of the structure poses a significant risk of failure. The non-uniform design with lack of sufficient concrete cover over the rebar is a major concern. The temporary positioning of water tanks increases the potential of catastrophic failure.
COLUMNS AND BEAMSMany of the columns on the second floor were insufficiently constructed. Aggregates in the concrete appear too smooth and too large to form a strong bond. Poor consolidation of concrete in the formwork has left rebar exposed to weathering.
STRUCTURAL DETAILSThe information in the original drawing set for the hospital did not provide sufficient information for the contractor to construct a building that would resist lateral forces.
CEILING CONSTRUCTIONBesides the collapsed roof, the remaining ceiling is poorly constructed as well. CMUs are rotated, instead of aligning in the same direction. The connection between beam and roof slab is inadequate, according to the design drawings.

PHASE CONSTRUCTION - NEW HOSPITAL
PROPOSED CAMPUS PLANThe goals for the design of the Camejo Health campus are to focus on the patient experience not only within the new hospital but also at the campus. We aim at developing an efficient construction system that will be easy to construct.
The new proposal for the Camejo Hospital serves as an alternative solution that focuses on building efficiency and cost effectiveness. Through re-organizing the campus and the existing program for the hospital, the new Camejo Health Campus will bring a sense of renewal and togetherness to the communities in Leogane.
Since available construction materials and budget are limited, phase construction becomes a traditional custom in Haiti. By breaking up the programs into several independent units, the hospital will deal with the local challenges and cater to the local construction vernacular.
The campus provides a welcoming and open feeling upon arrival. It is organized in a series of buildings, with the Kay Famn Yo Women’s House in the center (will be completed in September 2012). The Cholera Screening/Needs Assessment Center is located near the main campus entrance, so that patients with infectious illness will not affect the other patients and visitors on the Camejo Health Campus.
An Education Pavilion provides an open space for public health education and performance. The Main Hospital is located in the east end of the site to ensure privacy for patience. A green corridor (healing gardens in-between the buildings) unites the campus and provides opportunities for patients and visitors to enjoy outdoors and greeneries.

SITEThis site is unexploited, thus was heavily planted. It faced Xia Wenshan Lake to its southwest, all these factors created a very natural, original scene
ISSUEThe required program is 300 sqm. If we stack programs and make a three-level houses, it would interrupt and discontinue the site
SOLUTIONIn order to prevent blockage, compressed the programs and extended on the lake. Thus preserve the continuity of the site
BENEFITSaving more spaces for greens, allows residents to access lake through extending deck. This contributes to better living experience and site preservation
