The connections of the healing architecture. The hospital built by Daruieste Viata

The connections of the healing architecture – the hospital built by Daruieste Viata represents the transposition of a country project into a printed book project that is able to illustrate the complexity of the approach and remain a testimony for future implementations of medical architecture in Romania. Its writing stages define three worlds of the overall image – the tree of life, which overlap and symbolize the architectural project both formally and figuratively by sequencing the story.
The tree of life – the project’s central concept, generates a healing community by creating a circuit of data, ideas and directions between all work levels and all levels of meanings, and also between specialists, designers and the entire community of donors. The tree of life becomes the coordinating concept of the written discourse.
The exposition consists of 3 parts, hereinafter referred to as worlds, made up of 9 chapters in total, which overlap the 9 levels of the hospital extension project to make an „x-ray” of the tree and present the story with all its stages of development. Each world composes the image as in a puzzle, placing the existing pieces, restoring the missing elements through the testimonies of the actors involved and adding details to complete the story in a speech that addresses us all.
The inserted data, themes and concepts have the ability to cross worlds in both senses, while generating new connections that verify the authenticity of the implementation of interdisciplinary research in the proposed design, as well as connections that suggest new approaches and directions.
