Intersticio hospitalario como evento social
In the last decade, the architecture for healing and care has continuously been worried with the need to humanize hospital environments. Despite the monotony of this design goal, in today's Colombia, the concept of humanizing a hospital space has rarely been taken up and analyzed in depth. For this reason, the pre-sent investigation has been developed from studies of hospitals inside and outside of Co-lombia, in order to understand the needs of humanist design.With that said, we pretend to evoke the term interstice to respond the needs of hospitals in these “in between” spaces, creating new pro-grams to facilitate the human experience through design. However, this concept is di-vided into basic spatial qualities that allow its identification, such as: the biophilia, the atri-um, the intrinsic and the hybrid. These places take a more holistic approach to the hospital care, since it takes the healing environment and social exchange into consideration. As a result, a more welcoming and diverse hospital will be presented, it returns to previous hori-zontal designs to improve circulation and communication.The hospitals are already built, all that is needing is the intervention of the interstice.
