I have been thinking about a hospital to treat the City and its health. In the same way the liver performs detoxification to filter harmful items from the human body, the health of the city may depend on a filter of its own. We already have water treatment plants but our city can also benefit from air treatment plants. The location of our site, being adjacent to the stack that expels gases from the Eastern Distributor, is an ideal place to intercept and detoxify gases before they are injected into the atmosphere above our city. Consequently, by treating the city, we also treat the people within the city.

Hi Vinh,
I think this approach is site-specific, interesting and has a lot of potential. Maybe even offices within the building that have an environmental agenda. For example, in San Francisco, they have "Spare the air" days. I think it happens a couple of times a year and all the public transport is free. It is a really successful idea and the whole city gets on board. If your hospital had offices that administered these initiatives, there could be a lot of depth to this concept.
