the maternity and pediatric hospital
the maternity and pediatric hospital in Tambacounda, Senegal expansion aims to transform the conditions under which patients receive care. Initiated by Le Korsa, a philanthropic arm of the Albers Foundation that has been active in eastern Senegal since 2005, the project was aimed at radically transforming the conditions under which mothers and newborns receive care in the region. Herz visited the existing hospital buildings—a set of circular constructions that he estimates are from the 1970s or ’80s—endured harsh 100-degree-plus summer days, studied local construction techniques and materials, and, in meetings with local stakeholders and hospital staff, compiled a series of sketches detailing their spatial and programmatic needs.
