200 bedded general hospital

Abstract

This thesis project will deal with the complete stages involved in the design of a 200 bedded General Hospital proposed to be built at the Hastsal-Vkaspuri locality, New Delhi. The project is an actual real life proposed project to be built on the suburbs of Delhi. The scope of this thesis project only concerns design of the general hospital and concerned allied and associated services. The thesis involves complete architectural designing of the site from the site planning stage onwards to final design consideration of preparing detailed working plans, sections, elevations, 3d renderings of the expected result and a comprehensive report on the complete thesis. The thesis follows a strict methodology based on widely accepted and commonly used design theories and methodologies. Such methods are mainly basically derived from a logical application of the problem. Extensive and exhaustive case studies are generally conducted afore hand to ascertain present and existing examples of such type of buildings so that all positive attributes can be include in the design thought process. The next logical step involves studying of the proposed site with respect to all attributes namely site topography, climatological factors, demographics of the place and other pertaining issues. All such parameters are correlated to form a list of requirements which are then included with typical area requirements to form the first draft. They are then worked upon and other attributes like climatology, conceptual, aesthetic considerations etc are included in or subtracted out as depending on the context of the issue. These are basic logical methods on how this thesis work was developed. In depth analysis on each logical step has been provided and explained with appropriate examples and sketches in each step. This has been done to provide the reader with a clear concise idea of how the whole thesis was conceived from the starting to the end.
