Fuding Hospital is a regional general hospital in a small Chinese city, Fuding, Fujian Province. Rather than viewing the enormous hospital as a complex building, a multi-disciplinary design approach treated the project as a micro-city. The result is a highly robust, permeable, efficient, legible, varied, and welcoming place. Intuitive wayfinding utilises a rich variety of colour throughout the hospital, which, combined with connections to terraces and gardens, is uplifting and supports wellbeing and healing. The hospital provides an array of extraordinary and dignified public spaces which assert the maxim that healthcare is a fundamental human right.
