1^ST PRIZE

Project no. 119 – EB2026 – PLANHO CONSULTORES. S.L.P. , PROFESSIONAL LIMITED COMPANY in association with 4B CONSULTANȚĂ ARHITECTURĂ S.R.L.

Main authors: PLANHO (architects) Enrique Vallencillos Segovia, Manuel Perez Hernandez
Co-authors: Mara Victoria Vergu-Bogoescu, Matei Bogoescu, Radu Costăchescu, Tudor Costăchescu
Architectural collaborators: Alfonso Fernandez Sanchez, Alejandro Vallencillos Portillo, Ildefonsa Rodrigues Martinez
Specialty collaborators: Andrei Aioanei

”The winning project stood out as one of the firm favourites amongst the jurors from the initial viewing of the exhibited schemes. It was particularly pleasing that following the initial appraisal of the scheme it stood up very well to a much greater depth of scrutiny across a wide range of crucial considerations. The scheme is thoughtfully, professionally, and very beautifully presented. It was one of the submitted projects that gave the greatest consideration of it being experienced through the eyes of a child. It has skilfully considered the impact of scale to make the proposal friendly, approachable, and welcoming. It goes to some lengths to provide a positive impression as an antidote to the character of many hospitals which have been built historically around the world which present themselves as little more than a functional factory for repairing the human body. It is particularly important that a children’s hospital does not convey this impression and carefully considers the importance of looking after the mind and spirit as well as the body, in order to help reduce the anxiety of the children and their families that accompany them.” – Jury feedback

3^RD PRIZE

Project no. 105 – UG1492 – S.C. ARHI BOX S.R.L. in association with S.C. ARHI ACTUS DEVELOPMENTS S.R.L.

”This project was especially appreciated for its disposition on the site, which would give the future ensemble a clear position towards the city, but still making good use of the natural landscape of the eastern hill. Thus, its urban qualities, favourable to a possible inclusion of the hospital in the metropolitan fabric, were counterbalanced by the more intimate areas, dedicated to patients.” – Jury feedback

1^ST MENTION

Project no. 101 – YK9437 – M-TEAMPANNON ÉPÍTÉSZMÉRNÖKI KFT

Main author: Noll Tamás
Co-authors: Madzin Attila, Katona András, Angéla Kovács
Architecture collaborators: Vörös Balázs, Liu Dan, Bagdy Eszter, Antmann Somogyi András, Gáspár Zsolt, Berze András, Metzl Ádám, Dobos Hajnalka, Szögi Tamás, Harmath Tamás
Specialty collaborators: Bede István, Terhes Dénes, Grabner Balázs, Daniel Tutor, Lukács Péter, Fazekas Sándor, Lantos András, Gogolák Zsolt, Kasza Piroska, Dobray Monika, Pal Szabolcs, Antonie Sebastian, Mate Zoltan, Tar Imre, Voidăzan Septimiu

”The Jury appreciated the project for its ability to become an architectural landmark for the area, while also using the available land judiciously. The proposal presents a complex urbanistic approach, imagining a possible strategy for the future development of the area without proposing a high-density scheme. At the same time, the proposed general scheme of the project ensures a high functional efficiency, opting for a compact typology which manages to create an iconic image, while maintaining a scale that is friendly towards future users.” – Jury feedback

2^ND MENTION

Project no. 102 – MB4537 – DICO si TIGANAS birou de proiectare S.R.L. in association with PINEARQ S.L.P. and Arquitecto JENICA CRAIU

Main authors: Arh. Alberto de Pineda Álvarez, arh. Jenica Craiu, arh. Alexandra Demetriu, arh. Levente Kornis
Co-author: arh. Serban Tiganas
Architecture collaborators: arh. Marcial Novo, arh. Giovanna Pomo, arh. Nicola Baldassarre, s.arh. Guillermo Begazo, arh. Denisa Petrus, arh. Silvia Alexandrescu

”The project stands out firstly through the quality achieved at the level of the interior and exterior proposed spaces, which contribute substantially to bringing the future users closer to this function. The pavilionary typology deployed by the project proposes both a series of interstitial spaces adapted to the human scale, and a delicate insertion in the existent natural landscape. The jury appreciated the maturity of the functional and volumetric solutions, as well as the quality of the unequivocal and comprehensive graphic support by which the information was transmitted.” – Jury feedback

The purpose of this competition was to select, in order to award the design contract, the best solution for an Emergency Clinical Children’s Hospital, located in the southeast of Cluj-Napoca, at the border of Gheorgheni and Borhanci.

Through this approach, the Contracting Authority aims to develop a centre for medical services and research in the field of paediatrics, which also plays the role of an urban catalyst in an area undergoing urbanization.
