ABOUT THE
COMPETITION
Children’s Hospital & Research
Centre (CHRC) is a facility focused
at diagnosing, treating and healing
children and young adolescents.
 Most children's hospitals can serve
children from birth up to the age of
16 years. Globally there has been a
remarkable growth in dedicated
Children’s Hospitals (also known as
Pediatric Hospital) in the 20th
century, as pediatric medical and
surgical specialties got separated
from adult internal medicine and
surgical specialties.  In India the
trend is yet to pick up despite the
fact that 34% of India’s population is
below 16 years of age. There has
been a beginning made and some
hospital chains have identified this
gap and are making dedicated
Children’s Hospital like Rainbow
Hospitals based out of Hyderabad,
Bangalore and Chennai.   Pediatric
hospitals are characterized by
greater attention to the psychosocial
support of not only the children but
also their parents.  Some patients
have to spend relatively long
periods in hospital, so having access
to games  and cognitive learning is
an important part of their care
pathway.    Children’s Hospital design in 21st
YEAR 2018
This can include passive or active
engagement of the hospital inmates
with botanical gardens, play areas,
aquariums, digital games,   theaters
and libraries for instance. It thus
becomes important to position CHRC
as an institution which contributes to
the “playing-learning-healing” triad of
a sick child’s treatment process.
The typology and imagination of this
unique centre,  can be critically
challenged and re-defined as per the
local context by the participants when
they design Children’s Hospital &
Research Centre for HHAC 2018.
Some of the questions framed by this
year’s HHAC are as following:  
• How can we use the narrative of
“Children’s Overall Health and Well
being during the treatment process”
and explore programs in healthcare
facilities, which get articulated into an
architectural form in  Indian context?
• What is the designer’s image of
CHRC?  
• How must a space for treating
children be conceptualized, designed
and operated in India’s rural or urban
societies?
• What should be the broader goal of
century India?

CHRC DETAILED PROGRAM BRIEF

Delivery of health care services in a CHRC requires not only on call and palliative
medical care but also all the complementary facilities including nursing care, assistance
for children’s parents, space planning and other services. 
The absence and non-functionality of one or more of the complementary inputs affect
the quality of services, which are vital for healthy and dignified healing of children.
The Children’s Hospital & Research Centre (CHRC) program for a 100 bed hospital for
HHAC 2018 can be broadly summarized as:

Total BUA 62310

Toilets, Circulation spaces and Open Spaces should be judiciously designed which should
comprise minimum of 30% of total built up.
Students have a choice of adding an alternative program (max 150sq.M), which can work in
harmony with the existing program of the ‘Children’s Hospital & Research Centre (CHRC)’ and
help in enhancing the relationships with existing local context.
Rainwater harvesting, solar power, Biogas plant, wastewater treatment, grey water recycling etc.
can be explored as systems which aid the CHRC.
Minimum built up area of the facility has to be 7500 Sq. M minimum
The Area Statements have been provided only to get a sense of volume and overall footprint of
the CHRC for this competition only. It can be molded as per participant’s discretion.
The spatial typologies of the mentioned functions can be critically challenged to meet the
contextual brief of the selected context.
Space programme is indicative to understand spatial arrangements of various departments and it
is not expected out of the participants to give room wise schematic design. Conceptual block
plans commensurate to the area is sufficient.
It is advisable that participants visit pediatric wards in large hospital (Public / Private) and
standalone children’s hospital if possible. This would enable a better understanding of such
facilities and its functional requirements considering young age of the customers.
Students should rethink the way traditional healthcare spaces work to find prolific planning and
experiential alternatives in the local context they choose.
Students should creatively interpret the program to propose new ways of imagining and
experiencing healthcare spaces.
