Founded in 1884, Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo is a private and philanthropic institution, considered one of the most important centers of reference and health research in Brazil. The hospital complex, marked by its architectural, historical and cultural value, houses several buildings inserted in the same lot and in its immediate surroundings, in order to provide assistance and run the administrative program.

Based on the diagnosis of Santa Casa’s facilities, operations and activities, its relationship with the city and the urban standards applicable, the Master Plan designed by Levisky Architects sought to guide strategic actions and future interventions from a perspective that goes beyond the limits of the building, applying devices and incentives provided by the PDE and LPUOS, with the purpose of enabling the expansion of the institution in an integrated manner to the surroundings.

Thinking about the need to update the spaces, flows and materials to be used, it was necessary to set a dialogue with the preservation bodies, which, together with knowledge of hospital architecture from our office, made possible highly efficient solutions, respecting the value as an historical and cultural institution. In this sense, it is proposed to organize both the sectorization – considering the high complexity care -, as well as the support and operational activities in areas inserted in the hospital area.

Based on the new instrument foreseen in the São Paulo Master Plan, aimed at encouraging the expansion and insertion of new services in the hospital sector and health research, a Hospital Master Plan was proposed, consisting of an expansion and reorganization plan for the sectors of a reference health institution in the city.

As a proposal, a new building was presented, capable of expanding the highly complex surgical center and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), designed by contemporary concepts such as “clean core” and “flexible beds”, aiming at excellence and, above all, greater humanization of its processes.

The choice for ICU flexible beds involves several advantages, ranging from the reduction of potential medication errors, reduction of hospital stay to improve patient and family satisfaction.

The Feasibility Study and Business Plan wanted to implement a reference healthcare complex focused on the population of a region with specific cultural characteristics, integrated with services and trade spaces, seeking sustainable technological solutions, establishing renovation, innovation, and integration with urban network. From the implantation of the complex in different scenarios, the study proposes a model that can be replicated in different locations as a network, from a strategic perspective that makes up the urban demands with health needs. The plan also mapped and analyzed the potential of identified lots with adequate construction vocation.

The complex’s Business Plan was divided into two stages, each with four stages of execution. The first includes a study of market potential and new opportunities, in addition to the preparation, review, and approval of the Business Plan. The second includes land acquisition, project development, approval of legal projects and licenses, and the work execution in a phased manner.

The project started with the need to install a building as an integral part of the hospital complex, which would meet the demand for administrative spaces and operational support from the hospital, in addition to the establishment of services with an active facade.

The project is organized in two towers, connected through a walkway, providing more faces of the building with natural lighting and enabling the program to be adapted to accommodate spaces for permanence. This typology also generates two voids, which connect to the lower floors of housing care and operational support programs. The façades have horizontal and sliding glass panels on the floors, alternated with vertical sliding metallic windshields, which give the building the possibility of controlling aeration and insolation.

The healthcare program has a diagnostic center, a surgical center, emergency services, and admission areas, as well as operational and administrative support, parking lots, and conviviality areas.

Although the city of São Paulo has large hospital structures, the demand for health services persists. Analyzing the conditions of health equipment in São Paulo, it is clear that the pattern of land use near these institutions is repetitive: occupied and consolidated areas, scarcity of available land, in contrast to the constant need for updating and expansion of its structures, hampered even more by legal urban restrictions.

Given this, Levisky Arquitetos presented the municipality with a study in which a new draft project was proposed based on encouraging the expansion and implementation of complementary activities in the areas surrounding existing health complexes, which was welcomed by the Executive and Legislative offices, generating a new urban instrument for hospitals in the city.

As a first experience using this instrument, the Master Plan for Albert Einstein Hospital was developed, foreseeing a series of area relocations – both in the existing building and also in its adjacent areas – considering the incentives to uses related to health services and health education, in which, for example, new areas were proposed for activities of medium and low complexity, in addition to the expansion of the operating room and intensive care units.

The preliminary study for Hospital Support Building started from the demand for administrative and operational support spaces presented by a large hospital situaded in the city of São Paulo. Following the land slope, the project was conceived in a staggered way, allowing the best use of areas, providing a privileged view of a very important square in the city.

The sectorization guidelines resulted in a large horizontal volume, with loose and light volumes. To provide better thermal comfort for the sides facing east, in addition to the garden terraces, cantilevered slabs were provided. On the north-facing sides, with better views, openings were provided to frame the landscape, associated with cantilevered slabs, terraces, and windshields.

From a programmatic point of view, the project houses an administrative department, operational support areas, support areas for employees, parking, areas for chartered buses, and a food court, aimed at socializing and relaxing.

In line with the new service philosophy of the Institute of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (IOCAP) at UNICAMP, whose goal is to provide full health treatment for their patients and family members through humanized practices, the project invests in welcoming users, guided by high technology, sustainability, and functionality in the proposal of new buildings.

As an articulating element, the central square was thought to be more than just a circulation area, adding functions of the foyer, classroom, conviviality area, space for exhibitions, and stress release. From this spot, the other buildings are arranged around it, like the teaching and research building, which, by embracing it with glass facades, allows greater visual permeability to the complex and greater integration with local nature and landscape.

The proposal also allows for the future integration of IOCAP with Hospital das Clínicas through a land next to the Helipad, with access to cars, ambulances, and pedestrians. In this way, a good flow of clinical, infrastructure, and emergency staff is made possible, guaranteeing great teamwork between hospital’s assistance and operational areas, such as Medical Specialties, pharmacy, kitchen, among others.

The proposal was not the winner

Many health institutions located in urban centers such as São Paulo need to increase service capacity and modernize facilities and physical limitations of expansion are recurrent.

In this context, Levisky Arquitetos developed the Hospital Master Plan of São Luiz Morumbi Hospital, from Rede D’Or. The proposal integrates the strategic vision of urban legislation, with the application of urban planning instruments and incentives, to the specialized technique of meeting the institution’s assistance and operational demands, with the establishment of scenarios to grow the assistance program.
