HEWLÊR | Kurdistan Children's Hospital

Project name: Hewa ''Hope'' Children's Hospital
Client: Kurdistan Regional Government
Status: On site
Area: 25,000m²/270,000ft²
Location: Hewlêr, Kurdistan
Sectors: Healthcare

The Kurdistan Children's Hospital is a 140 bed hospital for women and children currently being built in Hewlêr, Kurdistan. The aim of the Kurdistan Children's Hospital (KCH) is to provide specialist paediatric and maternity services to mothers and children by acting as a tertiary referral centre for the Kurdistan Region and wider Iraq. The K​CH also aims to improve standards in the quality of healthcare provided by following international standards of best practice and through links with the local healthcare community, KCH hopes to invest in the next generation of healthcare providers through education and training.

The Hospital is a not-for-profit organisation run by the Kurdistan Children's Hospital Foundation, a charity registered with the charity commission in England and Wales and as an NGO in Kurdistan, Iraq. The Kurdistan Children's Hospital was designed by MAKE Architects based in London, UK in collaboration with the Chairman of the KCH drawing on his experience of working in healthcare for over 20 years.

The building design is shaped like the Kurdistan national flower, the Narsis flower, complete with 5 petals and a central circle containing the reception and atrium. Each 'petal' has 2 wings and is identified by a colour and animal for ease of reference and for navigating around the hospital. Departments are located to enhance patient flow; optimise departmental interaction and minimise unnecessary personnel circulation. The unique structure has also been specifically designed to reassure and comfort the children and their families using the hospital, making the hospital a friendlier place to spend time. Creating such an atmosphere is an important part of maximising a child's healing experience.

The design look modern and western. A good step forward!

Hopefully the interior design and the provided equipment is good which is the most important thing regarding hospital buildings.

Is western design a step forward? I would consider it a step back for Kurdish values, there is actually something called Kurdish architecture, beautiful example of a house here:

I think because it is a very child friendly and a happy place. He calls it western, you dont see any of these friendly places in arab nations.

Perhaps, to me It looked like there was being referred to the design itself. Anyways I hope this hospital will make a change, frankly Health care sucks in Kurdistan, Health Care for children is close to unheard of.

Western design for a public childrens hospital is definitily a step forward. Why would it be a step backward? It just shows that the public buildings are getting more modern. There haven't even been any childrens hospitals so I don't see why it would be a step backward in any ways. Insisting that a childrens hospital should follow kurdish architecture guidelines, which is non existant, is a backward thinking thought.

If you want the kurdish societies to remain authentic you have to pick what no to replace carefully. Downtown bazaars, qaisarys, sairangas should in my opinion remain the same despite how good the economy becomes.

The design of the Children's Hospital does not correspond to islamic values and principles. We should have called on the arabian tent company to design the black tent which is an ingenious design, locally relevant and culturally rich and makes the desert skyscraper.

That is a KURDISH design, but It seems clear you don't see much difference between what is Kurdish and what is Islamic. If you fancy modern western values so much, then enjoy, but stop promoting the destruction of Kurdish values.

Rawand can you stop commenting on anything what is positive about the west... And turn it into a religious debate eventually... Very off topic, very off topic...

I didn't haha All I said was that replacing Kurdish designs with western designs would be a big step back, but this kind of hospital has never existed in any Kurdish shape before, as you said yourself, so in this case It's fine.

Well If the aim would be to replace Kurdish values, then It would be a huge step back - okay this Isn't getting anywhere, let's just stop here.

I think like Rawand : I also would prefer a Kurdish architecture but anyway a hospital is a hospital, and it would be very beneficial in these times.
We will ponder on architecture when we are independent.

Plus it is even so wonderful with this western architecture here.

What Kurdish architecture are you guys speaking of? Do you know of any buildings with kurdish architecture that you could share with us?
