The Exequiel González Cortes Pediatric Hospital (Santiago, Chile) was to be relocated to a new building. They wanted to preserve their unique identity and deep community bonds. To achieve this goal, multidisciplinary teams were formed, tasked with tackling different aspects of the project.
My team on the wayfinding project, in collaboration with the hospital team and the architect. We designed an information system that allows for easy navigation, and creates a friendly atmosphere for children and their families.
To capture the children’s imagination, we divided the five floors of the building into scenes representing the different landscapes of Chile, which range from icescapes and forests in the south, to a desert in the north. Illustrations were drawn to embody this concept and dress the signage and walls, decorating and differentiating the service areas.
