Philippines hospital designed serve as model for rural healthcare

The building will be constructed using prefabricated components


The New York firm CAZA has unveiled a design for a hospital and trauma center in a popular beach town in the Philippines, according to an article on the Dezeen website.

The design features stone cladding, verdant courtyards and light-filled interior spaces. 

The healthcare facility will be constructed in Baler, a coastal community with approximately 39,500 residents.
