kalbod studio envisions sustainable, floating healthcare island in dubai
DUBAI HEALTHCARE CITY: A NEW FLOATING LANDMARK
Creating a futuristic medical oasis in Dubai, Kalbod Studio envisions a multi-functional floating complex that centers around providing quality healthcare services while fusing cutting edge technology and sustainable design principles, and embracing the unique geographic and social conditions of the region. The new Dubai Healthcare City island, shaped like a crescent and infused with Islamic geometric design elements, will be divided into five layers to function as a self-contained complex with its own underwater transportation system, green-lined residences for patients seeking treatment, and educational and development facilities.
KALBOD STUDIO FUSES SUSTAINABILITY AND FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY
Dubai Healthcare City’s site will follow a crescent shape, synonymous to Dubai’s symbolic plan of the Palm Island, the geometry of the iconic Burj al Arab, and the religious elements of the Islamic lunar month. For the grid design and the higher levels, the team at Kalbod Studio draws on the abstract combination of parametric forms and Islamic geometry patterns. Adopting a futuristic approach to transportation, an underwater infrastructure including a monorail system and electric cars, will leave the island free for pedestrians to roam. Different stations will also be designated at every part of the island for efficient movement.
Above land, the program is configured into three key zones, with education and research in the middle, and medical and residential zones flanking them. Suspended paths between them will provide fresh air flow, double as green spaces, and make it possible to walk along the island at different levels and enjoy unique views of Dubai and the Persian Gulf.
The center of the island will be marked by a core skyscraper spanning an area of one million square meters, divided into two general parts: the 670,000 sqm base which houses the educational activities, and the 330,000 sqm crescent which is dedicated to functions such as the exhibition hall, research and development department, science and technology park, library, and exhibition of digital achievements. 14 towers with medical functions will follow this, and 24 hotels will be located on the two ends of the island to symmetrically frame the core skyscraper. Kalbod Studio will line all of the structures with terraces and rooftops housing a variety of vegetation to bring in ample shade, light, and natural ventilation. In addition, they will contribute to improving Dubai’s air quality.
