As a teaching and administrative support activities were taken out from the hospital complex, Levisky Arquitetos developed a Master Plan for Morato Unit considering its full use and constructive potential.

The plan foresees the renovation of the simulation center’s existing facilities and the implantation of a set of new buildings that meet the demands of Albert Einstein Hospital Health Education and Research Unit and be the base of their administrative center. The blocks, set in the independent configuration, are interconnected to allow their implementation in different execution phases.

To migrate the low complexity activities of the hospital building and expand its facilities, Hospital Sírio-Libanês, a reference institution in São Paulo, demands from Levisky Arquitetos the design of a new building for the implementation of the wake service and the Training, Innovation, and Health Research Center.

In a narrow and corner lot, located in front of one of the hospital accesses, the project started resolving the configuration and slope to organize the different activities and flows independently.

The program includes, at the lower level, reserved wake/mourning rooms, support areas, and social areas with access following the green wall of the facade. The upper floors have support for teaching environments, modular training rooms, study rooms, and a library connected to open terraces. Another floor has integrated and flexible environments for research, innovation, and support to health startups.

The proposed volumetry creates open terraces as living environments, and voids formed by the design of the walkways favor the entry of natural light, generating lightness and spaciousness in the environments, promoting integration between the floors.

Health teaching and research have gained prominence in reference institutions, consolidating their relevance in the global health scenario. In this sense, to expand and centralize their institute, Hospital Abert Einstein planned the construction of the new Health Research and Teaching Center.

Levisky Arquitetos has participated in this process since the beginning, thinking on feasibility, to define the area and the lots, structuring the activities and preparing the legal strategy to make the enterprise viable.

The structuring of the activity program included research, benchmarketing, debate with the institution’s technical staff, and resulted in a preliminary study for the new center.

Volumetry is composed of five blocks connected by walkways that form a main axis of coexistence. The proposed solution also organizes the possibility of creating facilities for the Medical and Nursing School and the Health Innovation and Research Center, considering large, light, flexible, and highly technological environments.
