Gesundheit Institute: Case Study - Inference

The document summarizes the design of a wellness center located south of the CBD near a railway line. The building form is derived from the railway lines with simple geometric massing and staggered heights to create subtle angles. It includes spaces for a wellness center, elementary institute, and housing arranged to maximize connections to the natural environment. Materials used are concrete, wood, and glass, employing cantilevers and openings to express calmness for those seeking healthcare and wellness.
