Over two weeks ago, concerns around Covid-19 prompted our in house Task Force and IT team to transition everyone in our office to remote work. In a matter of days, we were up and running with the same efficiency and support as when physically in the office. During our first virtual all staff meeting, we held a showcase of everyone’s remote workstations; a virtual version of the popular “What’s on Your Desk” blog feature. From a secluded workbench in the basement, allowing escape from interruption, to a home library with an amazing view, people across the Studio shared pictures of their home workstations. Most importantly, seeing everyone in our now vastly extended office provided much needed connection and lots of laughs during this time of geographic separation.
We`re wrapping up World Landscape Architecture Month with a peak into the design of the XiangYa Fifth Hospital at Central South University.
The XiangYa Fifth Hospital will provide a new world class model for the delivery of healthcare in China, accommodating over 100,000 patients a day and housing over 2,500 patient rooms. Nature is further embedded into the superstructure through gardens, courtyards, roof terraces, light monitors and generous windows that provide abundant natural light and frame views of the natural setting surrounding the building.
