Hebei Hua Ao Hospital Trauma Treatment Center

Hebei Hua Ao Hospital

Hebei Hua Ao Hospital is a trauma treatment center built in Zhangjiakou, China. The design concept is a snow ribbon, expressed as a horizontal facade with window heights that change with orientation and function. The varied windows control sun shading and daylight and reduce the need for air conditioning. Solar collector panels on the roof save electric energy. Waiting seats are arranged in enclosed groups to encourage communication, and artworks and landscape features are placed indoors to help patients feel calm. The hospital combines treatment, rehabilitation and education functions.

Hebei Hua Ao Hospital Trauma Treatment Center by Ling Chen has been recognized as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Hebei Hua Ao Hospital Trauma Treatment Center earned the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2022. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize which honors outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
