在大型醫(yī)療機構中，洛杉磯兒童醫(yī)院先后推出了豐富多彩而又獨特的方式，為南加州地區(qū)的兒童患者帶來了頂級的貼心關懷服務。

當今的一些設計醫(yī)療建筑的建筑師設計的醫(yī)療建筑，常常不能為患者提供一個有助于康復的醫(yī)療環(huán)境。最近畢業(yè)于南加州州立理工大學、并師從建筑大師波莫納的薩爾瑪？阿伯德哈尼，曾對美國和加拿大的醫(yī)院和醫(yī)護人員進行了一系列的問卷調查和走訪。洛杉磯兒童醫(yī)院的設計，因成就了她力圖創(chuàng)造一個有助于兒童腫瘤患者康復的醫(yī)療環(huán)境的追求目標而成為了人們關注的焦點。由于擁有獲獎的光環(huán)以及在全國兒科腫瘤治療方面享有數一數二的聲譽，這家醫(yī)院常常吸引了大量的需要住院和門診的兒童，所有就診患者都簇擁在醫(yī)院一樓的就診大廳長長的走廊和擁擠的治療室內，幾乎沒有孩子父母站立的空間。

這所坐落于佛蒙特大街和莫貝爾大街繁華路口、面積8，500英呎、4層樓高的醫(yī)療服務中心，每周七天為兒童腫瘤患者提供醫(yī)療服務。Fishbowl兒童腫瘤中心為眾多其他單調成排的建筑增添了一分俏皮而又和諧的空間感受。端坐于玻璃板上的康乃馨朝著地鐵站前廣場盡情開放，恰似歡迎來自加州各地的客人。那兒有一處指定的落客區(qū)，地下停車庫坐落于治療中心的后方以緩解擁擠的交通壓力。建筑物的外墻設計成能明確區(qū)分的方格。平鋪的鋁塑板沿佛蒙特延伸，提示著各區(qū)域的臨床或醫(yī)療功能。一樓鋪設著透明的玻璃，并一直通往治療中心，通透的玻璃可促進患者與外界的眼神交流以及獲得來自家人和朋友的支持。蝕刻在混凝土上的同心圓通過光線轉換成包裹著五顏六色的燒結玻璃板上的曲線，既提供了自然光線又為孩子們保留了隱私。

Fishbowl 兒童腫瘤中心一切為兒童、家庭和醫(yī)護人員著想。進入中心的大廳，矗立于地板與天花板間的海洋水族館便躍然眼簾，你可聆聽到舒緩流淌的流水聲，也可看到眾多水生動物有節(jié)奏地游弋著。每個樓層的孩子們都可以欣賞到這個海洋水族館，因為它位于該中心的中心位置并向上矗立，該水族館的電力由太陽能裝置自然提供。由于把大自然的元素融入該中心，減輕了罹患腫瘤的兒童的壓力和焦慮情緒。

為了解決連續(xù)問詢的問題，該中心對所有服務內容進行了獨特的分組，以便孩子們能沿著各樓層的引導曲線尋找到所需診室。譬如，地下一層設置腫瘤放射室，朝向半截曲線立面，而第三層的延伸平臺則設置了一個“開敞式”的化療室。曲線形的供家人和朋友休息的區(qū)域很容易找到，正對著孩子們的治療室和提供切實醫(yī)療服務的中央護士工作站。臨床/醫(yī)療區(qū)沿著各樓層中央的后部分布，并預留未來拓展空間，以備將來基于最新的技術和科技成果轉化成應用的發(fā)展所需。每個樓層的醫(yī)療辦公室以及醫(yī)務人員休息室也設在該區(qū)域。醫(yī)務人員、就診患者和探視的客人都可以規(guī)避籠罩在該中心與腫瘤相關的生活體驗所帶來的壓力和傳染危險。為人們帶來冥想的屋頂花園，能讓蒞臨者有機會掃視橫亙的山脈和市中心的摩天大樓，并可在巨大樹冠的陰影下享受現煮咖啡。

無論是持續(xù)為孩子們治愈腫瘤，幫助孩子與腫瘤作斗爭，抑或僅僅是為孩子的臉上帶來微笑，Fishbowl兒童腫瘤中心都將必定在人們心中留下一個持久的印象和美好的回憶。

Standing amongst the other giants in healthcare， childrens hospital， Los Angeles has introduced a colorful and unique way to bring top-of-the line care to Southern california.

modern healthcare architects continue to design buildings which fail to provide an environment that promotes the healing process. Recent graduate from the masters of Architecture program at california State Polytechnic university， Pomona， Salma Abdelghani began conducting surveys and interviews with hospitals and medical staff from canada and America. childrens hospital， Los Angeles became the focal point to her quest of creating an environment that was therapeutic to children with cancer. Award-winning and nationally-ranked in pediatric oncology， this hospital was experiencing a large volume of children that required both inpatient and outpatient care all crammed onto one floor of the main hospital with long corridors and tight treatment rooms with little to no space for parents.

Situated at the bustling intersection of W. Vermont and maubert， this 85，000 s.f.， 4-story center provides outpatient care 7 days a week for pediatric cancer patients. the “Fishbowl” childrens cancer center adds a playful and harmonious sense of space to an otherwise monotonous row of buildings. the carnation of glass panels open out to the metro station townsquare where it welcomes its guests from all over california. there is a designated drop-off zone and underground parking garage conveniently located at the rear of the center to alleviate traffic congestion. the exterior building fa？ade has been designed to clearly distinguish spaces. the horizontal aluminum panels along W. Vermont signify the clinical/medical functions. the clear glass along the ground floor and through the atrium， promote social interactions and support from family and friends.

existing concentric circle patterns etched on the concrete are transformed into a curvilinear form wrapped by multi-colored fritted glass panels that provide natural light and privacy for the children.

the “Fishbowl” childrens cancer center is driven by the needs of the children， families and medical staff. once you step foot into the lobby of the cancer center， you are greeted by the soothing sounds of water and the rhythmic movement of marine life with a floor-to-ceiling aquarium.

children on any floor can enjoy the aquarium as it soars through the central atrium and is naturally solarpowered. By bringing nature into the center， it relieves the stresses and anxieties among children with cancer.

to solve the continuous problem of wayfinding， this center has uniquely grouped all services dedicated for children along the curve of the building on all floors. For example， the basement level has the radiation oncology rooms oriented in a half-circle while the third level has the "open" chemotherapy bays. one can find seating areas clustered around the curves for family or friends to support their children and central nursing stations to efficiently provide medical care. the clinical/medical zones are along the rear of the center on all floors as well with shell space allotted for future development based on the latest technological or research achievements. medical offices and staff lounges are also located here on each floor. Staff， patients and guests can escape the stresses and perils involved with cancer by experiencing life above the center. A roof-top meditation garden allows guests the opportunity to overlook the sweeping mountain range or the downtown skyscrapers while enjoying freshly-brewed coffee under a massive canopy for shade.

Whether it be to continue in the cure for cancer， help your child fight cancer， or just bring a smile to a childs face， the “Fishbowl” childrens cancer center will certainly leave a lasting impression and cherished memories.
