Central Spine: Find the Butterfly
Another significant spatial feature is the Central Spine, an approximately 85-metre-long corridor that connects the northern and southern sections of the campus. Beyond serving as a circulation route, the corridor has been designed to create an engaging user experience through the integration of artwork and interactive design elements.
The graphic installations along the corridor incorporate hidden butterfly motifs, encouraging visitors to interact with their surroundings and enhancing the overall journey through the facility. This approach demonstrates how spatial design can improve wayfinding, user engagement, and comfort while reducing the monotony often associated with long hospital corridors. The Central Spine illustrates how functional circulation spaces can be transformed into meaningful environments that support positive user experiences and contribute to the overall healing atmosphere of the campus.
