I created these icons concepts to correspond to the various clinics and buildings of the hospital. They were then adapted into environmental graphics.
This space lends itself to graphic display development to foster community, communication, history and sense of place.
The practice of navigating by the stars is as old as antiquity. Using the desert sky or canopy as an inspiration, the project interiors can utilize lighting at the ceiling. This will define key way finding points and create cues which take advantage of the wide open visual planes. Ceiling and floor planes will be developed with selective color (blooming desert flowers) and light (stars, sun) to connect and orient visitors. A key building component is based on the traditional pueblo kiva (circular and ceremonial form indigenous to the area), to provide a shared community space for celebration and connection.
