The City of Health and Research

The urban park, designed to encourage visual and physical interaction with nature, extends among the buildings, providing patients, staff, and visitors with immersive spaces of peace and wellness. Pedestrian paths and rest areas facilitate movement and offer serene moments, integrating green spaces into the care and healing process. The aim is to make nature more than just an aesthetic aspect: the park has a therapeutic element, essential to improve users’ mental and physical health.

Organized into five main blocks that alternate green courtyards with outpatient facilities and inpatient wards, the project optimizes patients’ diagnostic and therapeutic journeys. The healthcare areas integrate with dedicated research spaces, creating a unique ecosystem that merges clinical care and innovation to promote the development of new therapies. The complex hosts the prominent institutions of the Fondazione Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori and the Besta Neurological Institute, with laboratories designed to encourage collaboration and interaction among researchers, fostering scientific advancement and meaningful impact in medical research.

The entrance hall and Main Street welcome visitors into a transparent and accessible environment, where architecture enables seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces. These transition spaces, designed to be open and fluid, serve as urban infrastructure for the community, promoting free movement and continuity between healthcare and logistics flows. The entire complex is designed for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, with an autonomous logistics system and technical galleries that reduce environmental impact and optimize resource management.

The landscape design merges rigor and natural elements: gardens, trees, and internal courtyards create a visual continuity between architecture and the surrounding environment. The geometric arrangement of courtyards and green areas enhances community well-being and offers a meaningful connection to the natural surroundings, enriching the user experience with beauty and ease.
