LINGAP: General Hospital and Extended Emergency Facility
Design Challenge
Embracing the continuing vision of securing resources for rural communities, ArchiNEXT 2021 takes on a relevant structure benefiting the masses especially in trying times, LINGAP: General Hospital and Extended Emergency Facility.
The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging numerous countries including ours. As the Philippines is yet to achieve abundance in infrastructure, the rural communities continue to strive for basic necessities. ArchiNEXT sees the need to contribute in the provision of accessible, affordable and available facilities for all Filipinos, especially the poor and disadvantaged.
This year, we are looking for compassionate buildings that encapsulate a helping hand for health concerns of people from all walks of life. LINGAP will be a healthcare structure that extends itself for further emergency purposes. The primary objective of this project is to reduce the lack of hospital care delivery services for provinces as well as to increase the health safety of its communities by serving as an emergency space, an evacuation area, or isolation facility when calamities or a pandemic strikes
ArchiNEXT will use the technical guidelines and licensing standards of the Department of Health (DOH) to ensure accuracy of facility requirements but here are some general design parameters:
For General Hospital:
- The General Hospital is classified as Level 2, with 100-150 bed occupancies.
- The floor to height of the building is 4 meters minimum. The floor to ceiling height is 3 meters minimum.
- Minimum space requirements must comply with DOH licensing requirements for a Level 2 Hospital. (Specialization is not necessary since the project is only a level 2 hospital).
Check our Downloads page or visit DOH’s website: http://www.doh.gov.ph/sites/default/files/publications/planning_and_design_hospitals_other_facilities.pdf
- The extended emergency facility must be in close proximity to the hospital.
- The Capacity must be 40 beds. The floor to floor height of the building is 4 meters minimum.
- The facility must have a wash area and male and female toilets.
- It must be properly and adequately ventilated for infection control, prioritizing natural ventilation.
- The facility must have a triage area, waiting area and nurse station, all separate from the main hospital.
- It must be collapsible and made out of local, lightweight, eco-friendly and cost efficient materials.
The land area to accommodate both structures will have a minimum of 1.2 hectares of buildable area.

Criteria
Criteria for judging
Architectural Planning – 30%
The overall planning of the whole facility must be suitable. It encapsulates selecting the right location for the General Hospital and the Extended Emergency Facility, following the DOH Guidelines in building, and using the right materials for the project.
Efficiency – 30%
The Extended Emergency Facility must be functional and efficient. Materials should be affordable, lightweight, buildable, and easy to organize for urgent situations. It must be replicable, and allows shorter period of time for reconstructing, rebuilding, and re organizing the facility.
Innovativeness – 20%
Additional features to the General Hospital that can flare up the design can be helpful. Creativity and innovation will be shown dominantly through the collapsible Extended Emergency Facility. This structure will challenge the minds of the entrants; on how they will conceptualize it and bring it to life. Both the structures must be cohesive enough, and innovative enough to make it to the final cut.
Eco Friendliness – 20%
As the world continues to consume resources, structures must be carefully planned for a greener environment. Both facilities are expected to be made of eco-friendly materials for environmental sustainability.
