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.

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.

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.
