Project
Description
I prepared a Brief Document outlining the scope
of the Medical University with allowance for adaptability and
future expansion. Liaised with Heads of departments in RCSI to
discuss requirements for the various Medical
disciplines.
Prepared Masterplan drawings and
physical Model. Proposal comprised a Central Building consisting of
Lecture Theatres, Social Areas, Canteen and Conference Rooms with
Buildings containing the medical disciplines encircling this
creating a curved Atrium space.
Provision for additional medical
wings and laboratories to extend outward and upward in a Radial
Configuration. Student Housing Blocks are proposed to the West and
arranged in a series of Arcs to assist with shelter from annual
South Westerly Sandstorms. Finished Building was broadly based on
Initial Masterplan
