Project for the Developing Countries This hospital project, prepared for the developing countries, is elaborated along a standardized pavilion system. The design is based on the repetitive order of a typical pavilion, which, together with patios and pergolas, forms a regular square ward unit of 44 beds. The pavilion, with interior changes of partitions and installations, may also contain medical facilities, like operating theatres, X-ray departments or laboratories. The general layout may either be compact and dense (layout B) for hot and dry countries, or loose and dispersed (layout A) for hot and humid countries. The execution was planned for a conventional building system or for prefabricated building elements, mounted on locally prepared foundations.
