The exponential increase in affect by the covid-19 By Wuhan, by 2020, Chinese authorities will be building a medical center with a capacity of 1,000 beds in a ten-story square. The images of excavators’ scores, grues, trucks and workers working without descent, in a frenetic rhythm and with the grace of a ballet company on a stage in which the world will fly. One week ago, China wanted to make a gala of its legendary legacy in which major projects were refurbished and pulverized to its record: the new Shijiazhuang Campaign Hospital had 1,500 homes and was built in just five days.
The answer to this is that the most likely sanitary crisis will happen if it is possible to build more hospitals. With more accommodations and many more rooms. With more modern laboratories and chiropractors. Largest editions. Mejores. Politicians empiezan to see in this disaster an opportunity to obtain electoral redemption. The inaugurations and votes. For this reason, we are preparing for an imminent proliferation of hospitals that, while presenting themselves as ultra-modern endowments, plant old solutions to the problems of the old age and the new normalcy.
The architect, theorist and scribe Reinier de Graaf, socio of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) founded by Rem Koolhaas, and director of his AMO ideas laboratory, questions the conventions with which to design the spaces for the health has the point of giving in doubt and need to make an edification. Asi lo defiende en The hospital of the future, on brief documentary which will be available for its vision online until April 30th. “It is necessary to create a new definition of hospital,” De Graaf said. “Now when we have the most knowledge about this institution, at the same time we are more concerned that nothing can be done properly. Here is our video to help you overcome the fiction of this paradise ”.
The hospital of the future defends that the medical attention in the XXI cycle should be more related to the organization of our cities than with the construction of new editions. This idea, by supuesto, is not new. Throughout history, the victims unleashed a fundamental blow to the crime and disintegration of the urban nuisances that plague pandemics in the Edad Media are building on, the only defensive resource known in the era. After that, the Industrial Revolution multiplied the population of the cities and the conversion into broken and insolvent houses. The resulting functional segregation of the fabrication of the residential areas makes the afueras or the construction of scaffolding for the treatment and sewerage of residues in front of the “water!” is effective as effective medicine against fever and cholera.
According to the problem of the cities being aggravated by signing the XX, architects and urban planners will start imagining solutions from their billboard. Projects for parents as distinct as Ciudad Jardín (1902) from Ebenezer Howard, which aspires to build a society just more by combining the benefits of rural world with urban commodities; el Voisin Plan (1925) de Le Corbusier, a despairing surgical operation near the center of Paris; o la Broadacre City (1932) de Frank Lloyd Wright, an agricultural utopia that realizes the American romantic myth of what every city should be due to its own idea of tierra, part of the same idea of creating cities more salutable and adapted to the spirit of its era.
Medicine and architecture advanced in parallel, as well as when the medicines are proclaimed that the clean air and baths of the sun are the best antidote against tuberculosis, arthritis and any disease related to the respiratory system or the way it works radical form, especially those dedicated to health care. This is the most brilliant example of this new transversal relationship that will take place Sanatorio para tuberculosos (1929-1932) de Paimio (Finlandia), de Alvar Aalto. The solstice of the sun and the splendid views of the surrounding forest, as well as the analysis of the patient’s welfare, that the interview to Aalto to develop to the maximum its talent for the interior and furniture design (of this project the iconic hospital in one of the most important works of architecture Modern Movement.
This is how Beatriz Colomina put it in an interview with El Semanal Country af 2013, “la arquitectura moderna no se puede entender sin la tuberculosis”. Architect, historian and professor at Princeton University, Colomina acaba to publish X-ray architecture, a fantastic attempt to explore the relationship between architecture and salute in the passage sail XX. The tracing of the spaces reserving space for the creation of green zones, the orientation of the edifices, the opening of large windows to maximize the solar energy and favor the ventilation in its interior, the modernization of the sanitary installations or the Independence of the Stations of Establishment (do not sleep in the same situation as the kitchen, separate bathrooms from the rest of the apartments …), its design decisions that are made by us supuestas. Without embarrassment, in reality there are many conquests of modern architecture. His disciples defend at the end of a hygienic discourse that prescribes sun, light and air for all.
Once this has been done, coronavirus invasion has demonstrated that everything that has been learned so far is not enough. From a classic like the Paimio Sanatorium to the most modern and endowed hospitals on the planet, like the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, considered by Newsweek the best of the world, the ultramodern Sidra Medical and Research Center in Doha, The hospital of the future pone in evidence came the manner of conceiving these open sanitary infrastructures varied in the last ten years.
“The hospital, as we know it, has died,” said the narrator. “The hospital of the future is constantly changing, like a theater, transforming its space into an event function”. Asi, in the documentary is supported by a new model more Flexible, omnipresent, self-sufficient and decalcified, fully dependent on a more intelligent use of the most high technology. This scheme can summarize, basically, in three great ideas.
The hospital of the future will produce and distribute its own medicines
Thus, according to the documentary, the pharmaceutical industry has no capacity to satisfy the huge global demand (a tragic reality that we are experiencing these days with the return in the summit of the future vacancies), “the hospital of the future will be self-sufficient, as an innovator, producing his own property ”. These suanan palabras are about images of huge tomato plantations that, if by magic, are transformed into red color pastilles. In addition to its production, the Futuro Hospital will operate as a large logistics center, with classification and delivery of medicines.
The hospital of the future will be completely automated
“The hospital of the future takes care of the machine, freeing up its staff from the routine areas and giving the precision in exact operating means”. In addition, it is a mid-term term with a chronic staff failure in hospital centers, and quedar workers are exempt from such appointments as housing and hospital treatment, coma preparation, sample analysis, and administrative care. robots. The mechanization also takes place in the most delicate chiropractic interventions: if we were to kill them in the tomatoes that were converted into lozenges, then we would remove the braces from an automobile factory that would put them in a bin.
The hospital of the future actuarial de forma remote and individualized
One week ago, a London-based ‘opera’ circus set up in California thanks to a robotic surgery system that works with 5G technology. Excision and suture within 8,000 kilometers of distance. The hospital of the future, however, will not need to make a concrete statement. Why, then, how can patients be reconciled with their patients? The video directed by De Graaf points to ongoing individual monitoring systems and data processing to determine the health of each individual in real time. The employee of big data in the management of our salute is an opposing theme that Yuval Noah Harari treats in a masterly manner in his dissociative and prophetic Homo Deus: Breve historia del mañana. His reading now, six years after his original publication in Hebrew in 2015, resulted in the most disturbing: the description on how to affect our planet a possible pandemic occurs with the precision of the actual scene that only remains to be heard in Harpardonde.
“The hospital of the future is a place that will never go away”, concludes the video. Ojalá. Because, to be honest, the prognosticator is frankly aterrador.
