Oriental Medicine Medical Center By Landmak Architecture

ĐÔNG PHƯƠNG Y ĐẠO “Oriental Medicine” medical center in Vietnam by Landmak Architecture.

The history of Vietnamese Oriental Medicine dates back to ancient times. It combines the concepts of traditional medicine and tropical herbal medicine, as well as the healing experience of the old Vietnamese community. When Thuong Lan and Tinh were Zen masters, herbal medicine was regarded as a way to improve one’s health.

The rapid emergence and evolution of Western medicine led to the loss of popularity of our traditional medicine. Thousands of practical and natural remedies have been replaced by costly synthetic drugs. However, Western medicine still has many shortcomings, such as the inability to identify the root cause of diseases. On the other hand, oriental medicine aims to help the body function properly.

The goal of establishing an oriental medicine center is to establish a link between the community and the practitioners of traditional Vietnamese medicine. This project is also motivated by the need to cure the elderly who can’t afford to pay for conventional medicine. The center’s main objective is to renovate an abandoned villa and establish a full-fledged oriental medicine facility. It will allow the public to receive medical attention and treatment and learn more about oriental medicine. It will also sell oriental medicine products.

All the project funding came from donations made during the construction phase. This design was different from other projects as it was made possible through the contributions of everyone. The project’s goal was to create a place that would meet the needs of patients and provide them with a relaxing and comfortable environment. We completely abandoned the traditional hospital design, which typically has narrow corridors leading to treatment rooms. Instead, we designed a public space that features a tea room and stairs, which can be connected to the floor.

The 1st floor features a dynamic space that includes the reception, dining room, and hall, designed to optimize the area and create a more comfortable environment for guests. The 2nd floor is for women and features various rooms and equipment designed to accommodate acupuncture and therapy. The third floor is for men. The fourth floor is a combination of a Buddha space and tea room. If you are looking for a place to relieve yourself and improve your mind, this is the place. The lower floors are also known for their oriental medicine, which can help heal. There is additionally a faint smell of herbs and the sounds of nearby pagoda bells.
