Unpredictable and rapidly changing variables in medical technology, patient requirements, tourism levels, and resort experience are the antithesis of a fixed, stationary architecture. This necessitates an evolutionary, podular approach. The industrial functionality of coastal gantry cranes and shipping containers are appropriated to medical tourism design.
The levels of appropriation could be expanded here, so that we (me/other LAVDS participants, etc.) can begin to anticipate the architectural issues you'll initially seek to address. Ex. The "reconfigurability" of the pods based on medical procedure scheduling/programming AND the added benefit of constantly creating unique conditions/configuration/experiences (a hallmark of tourism). The potential for environmental benefit based on shifting architectonics might also be identified as an opportunity the team will dive into...
