Ewha Womans University Medical Center Seoul Hospital is a 1,000-bed capacity, largescale hospital which, at the time of planning, was the first majority single-room hospital in Korea – although this was eventually changed to triple-rooms. Scheduled to be completed in 2018, the hospital is located adjacent to Ewha Womans University College of Medicine, and is characterized by the use of metal glass and vertical louvers that create a relatively slim feel compared to the building’s size. A patient-centered, healing space plan, a soft yet strong materialization of the spirit of Ewha, and a rational spatial composition are the main components of the project, all of which reflect the design characteristics of JUNGLIM that pursues a ‘healthy architecture’ in contemporary Korea.
