The project was called upon to expand the basement level, which made it possible to eliminate the robust barrier found on the street. This topographic adaptation made clearing a 4-meter plinth possible, allowing for pedestrian and vehicular access through a new entranceway. The proposal’s volumetric arrangement was based principally on two factors: on the one hand it aimed to provide a solution in the most functional way possible, establishing a set of basic rules for the placement of the new enlargement elements, while on the other hand it sought to strategically position itself as a new landmark in Lleida’s landscape, like a sign placed near a path indicating and making the hospital’s location evident for anyone arriving from the different points of entry to Lleida’s capital.
