The new hospital in Mestre, a symbol of project finance employed in the healthcare sector in Italy, is a complex that revolutionises the concept of hospital. Indeed, it is a facility built on a human scale which combines architectural beauty with functionality and the quest for patient wellbeing. What stands out immediately when visiting the complex for the first time is the quest to obtain harmony, the perception of areas and the attention to detail. At long last visitors can feel “accompanied” and guided around a “difficult” complex such as a hospital complex.
A feeling of airiness amplified by contact with the nature that surrounds and runs through the building. But Mestre also means state-of-the-art technology: systems such as RIS-PACS will soon make medical records a thing of the past since they make it possible to transmit patients’ details online thus benefiting quick diagnoses.
