Yanagata Prefectural Nihonkai Hospital
|
|
| The hospital forms the nucleus of the medical facilities in the Shonai district of Yamagata Prefecture, whose population totals about 330, 000. It is engaged in the treatment of adults' diseases, emergency medical care, medical care of the newborn, and perinatal medical care. The hospital also has treatment tie-ups with other medical institutions in the Shonai district. In designing the hospital, emphasis was placed on the medical treatment environment for inpatients and outpatients, as well as for the hospital staff. Other design considerations were clarity of hospital functions and due regard for higher-level medical treatment and advanced information processing. At the same time, an “easy orientation”plan was employed, which enables all people to find their way around the hospital without difficulty by means of various signs and colors． The hospital was built according to the concept that its architecture should express a reliable presence as a prefectural hospital and with the aim of creating a landmark in hospital architecture. |

St. Luke's International Hospital
|
|
| Since it was established in 1902 by Dr. Rudolf Bolling Teusler, St. Luke's International Hospital has been guided by Christian teachings which have helped it lead the Japanese hospital system toward a more warmhearted and hospitable approach to patient care. Therefore, the principal themes in new hospital design now express this tradition of fostering a kindly bed-side manner. The American hospital consulting firm of Medical Planning Associates(MPA) has been working in cooperation with Nikken Sekkei Co., Ltd, to promote hospital planning and design in Japan. As a result, a variety of new designs in health care facilities have been put forward by MPA, including“all single care units.”These new proposals not only incorporate the latest medical treatment systems, but they also give tangible expression to St. Luke's International Hospital's humanitarian traditions by attaching importance to respect for patient privacy. From the initial planning of new treatment systems to the detailed design of hospital room interiors, the attempt has been made to create hospital environments that instill an all-pervading sense of peace and serenity. |
