A new kind of urban hospital
Hospitals are usually set apart from the city, which creates a psychological as well as physical barrier; these critically important public buildings should embody an inviting civic presence. At twelve storeys, New Karolinska Solna project introduces a new scale in comparison to the current hospital campus and inner city Stockholm; a beacon visible from afar. A new subway station will be embedded into the entrance hall, integrating the hospital into the city fabric and Stockholm’s transport infrastructure.
