Architectural and spatial qualities should be united with optimal logistics and technical structures. When designing a hospital, the focus is on providing an architectural framework for efficient and rational working procedures and a safe treatment environment.

A hospital in the 21st century should be organised around the human being – the whole, holistic human. Whether you are an ambulant patient who is only in the hospital for a brief visit or whether you are seriously and perhaps life-threateningly ill and hospitalised for a long period of time, as a patient you will sense space, light, fabric and colours more deeply and profoundly than someone in good health. This is a crucial factor when arranging and designing a new hospital.

For Henning Larsen Architects, it is important that hospitals provide a dignified and inspiring framework that has a positive effect on the recovery process. Dignity is a central theme in ensuring that patients experience the hospital as a welcoming and safe place to stay, designed to meet people's needs, whether they are patients, relatives, visitors or staff.

Research and educational building

Research and educational building

Henning Larsen Architects has many years of experience in designing educational buildings of different kinds and based on very different research and learning cultures.

A common characteristic of the buildings is that they have focus on the relationship between the social community in the buildings and the specific teaching rooms, laboratories and offices.

Modern research and learning environments should be organised to include zones for community and dissemination and zones for immersion and concentration. They should offer facilities for in-house research and learning activities and support in-house processes by means of their organisation and layout.    

Therefore, spaces and connecting facilities should be vibrant, inspiring and flexible to take into account community as well as individualism. The modern learning environment puts focus on social, common spaces and encourages community and exchange of knowledge across the various academic fields.
