The Hospice: Home for the Terminally Ill Competition was a chance for participants to explore how architecture and design could be used as a tool to help offer some form of relief to those suffering from terminal illnesses. The brief asked for a space that could offer respite, recuperation, and provide support when needed.
First prize winners Damian Poklewski-Koziełł, Marcin Gierbienis, Justyna Kopacz, and Aleksander Kwaśniak from Poland created a natural sanctuary designed to feel like a magical green space under a floating roof. Their ‘Into the Garden’ project involved timber construction wrapped in a translucent membrane and a building which glows, offering a therapeutic ambiance free from exterior urban audio and visual noises.
Second prize winners Renata Gomes, Beatriz Carvalho, and Fabiana Perazolo from Brazil designed a system of modular elements that integrated into a green space of art and nature for their “Nature Interlude: A Hospice for the Perception of Time” project. Third prize winner Caitlin Chin from Canada’s “Head in the Clouds” proposal was for a children’s hospice that broke the mould of the typical hospital room typology, offering ellipsoid volumes that have no beginning or end.
