Competition entry for the Royal Adelaide Hospital International Open Ideas Design Competition. The competition requested ideas at the masterplan scale for the current Adelaide hospital site, to be implemented after 2016 when the hospital is relocated. Our proposal (2 person team) was to improve the relationship between Adelaide and its Park Lands, and to implement this on the given site. The hospital is strategically located between the Botanic Gardens, the Adelaide CBD and the university precinct, yet, it
creates a strong border that separates these parts of the city. We proposed a break down of this barrier by overlapping the neighbouring active areas on the current hospital's site, physically and programmatically. This would integrate the site into a connected green network, extend the botanic gardens into the city, and create a vibrant urban landscape.
