PLANNING-
The planning of this institute depends upon function, circulation and module. After the design module that single module repeats for different activities and functions. And these modules join with the help of passages and corridors. Circulation is so important in such type of building Circulation spaces categorized by type of users, penetration of users on site.
Circulation is positioned and designed in such a way it optimizes the flow of people. For that, there is separate entry for visitors and patients/ambulance. Visitors’ area are near the entrance so visitors do not enter in the patient area and other important parts of building.
Different corridors for different usages, front are for visitors, between two modules for staff. And directly connected to the entrance for patients. The front part of the site purposely provided wide so that users learn social distancing value. In front elevation used such elements as pergola instead of entrance porch so people are not gathering entrance.
