Hospital Kortrij, Belgien

The high engineered funtionality of medical equipment, the symptomatic hygiene- and supply logistics as well as the omnipresent "concern for health", rarely let hospitals appear as a place of natural stay.

The hospital itself should be a mending object - not subjected to technology, but characterized by an atmosphere, emitting tranquility and peace, distracting from the actual purpose of the stay.
