L’architecture historically has a important social role and its involvement in the creation of spaces that improve the quality of life of all is increasingly urgent, in an inclusive and transversal way, open and dignified, with love and care. And speaking of care, this is the scope of action of the initiatives organized by Salus Pueri Foundation and fromUniversity of Padua that will take place from 27 August to 10 September in different places in the city. To do this they were organized 5 meetings open to all citizens and the international architecture workshop “TOOLS FOR CARE”.
The conferences will explore the theme thanks to the interventions of selected experts, protagonists of the transformation process of hospital spaces, which must lead to the opening, integration and redevelopment of green spaces to improve the lives of all patients as much as possible, and of children in particular. Among the events the September 2nd the meeting will be held in the Aula Magna of Palazzo Bo “Architectures for care, architectures for the historic city” with Daniele Franceschin and Raffaella Parodi of the studio RPBW.
They will participate in the workshop 20 young people – including students, recent graduates and PhD students – selected internally by 4 European universities involved (Padua, Catania, Toledo and Bucharest) as well as 25 undergraduate students Building Engineering – Architecture of the ICEA of Padua which will come together to give strength to the phase of self-construction of architectural deviceswhich will be designed during the laboratories and made to be made available to the young patients of the Padua hospital.
HUMANIZE CARE – the importance of greenery and open spaces for the children of the hospital
The children’s hospital is a place where fortunately the child patients have a very high percentage of recovery after treatment, but in the more or less long period of hospitalisation, they are forced to live far from home, school and their friends. Healing is certainly the first objective for anyone who enters a hospital but quality of life cannot and must not be renouncedespecially for those in a formative and growth phase, where it is essential to create the stimuli a child needs to continue to be such during and after the illness.
We must therefore make it possible for children to leave their hospitalization spaceeven within the structure, to be able to meet friends and play with them in an intermediate space that we can define as a filter between inside and outside. Humanize caremeans implementing these primary needs of children to allow them to continue their lives despite the discomfort of the disease.
The initiative therefore stems from the desire to give substance to these objectives, reflecting on this theme through various interventions by experts and the development of design solution hypotheses, up to the creation of 1:1 scale models, going to redevelop the spaces external relative to the mother-child area of the Polo della Salute in via Giustiniani in Padua.
«The theme of greenery is of fundamental importance, especially in the hospital setting. As demonstrated by many examples, including the project for the pediatric hospice of Bologna which will be told by the RPBW studio during the conference on 2 September. Integrating greenery with care spaces helps the patient, relieves the stress of social-health workers and has an evident positive influence also on family members” it needs Edoardo Narne, director of the workshop with Gabriele Cappellato.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOP: concrete actions, waiting for the realization of the Masterplan
The aims of the design laboratory are to achieve child-friendly actionsconcentrated in the external spaces of the East area of the Pediatric Clinic, with the aim of ferrying and anticipating the punctual actions of urban regeneration and enhancement of the historical heritage that will be carried out in the next eight years following the Masterplan 2022 “Urban Regeneration Program of the Giustinianeo Compartment ” Hospital of Padua.
«Outdoor spaces are a fundamental component in the cognitive psychology of the child and can profoundly influence the quality of life, experiences and relationships of the young patient. It is therefore very important to characterize the external environments, finalizing their use at a therapeutic levelredeveloping small areas in which the child can move, ensuring an evolved continuity of hospitalization and existence» underlines Gabriele Cappellato, and continues «The solutions will have to take into consideration that in some parts the use will be more strictly public and interconnected with the life of the citizens of Padua thus offering a new and unprecedented connection between the confidentiality of the healthcare space of care and the daily life of collective public life.»
MASTERPLAN 1: “Urban regeneration program of the Justinian area, plan of the state of affairs” drawn up by Terre srl
MASTERPLAN 2: “Urban regeneration program of the Giustinianeo sector, Masterplan – Project addresses” drawn up by Terre srl
The Masterplan project involves a series of important authorial projects adjacent to the hospitalcurrently suffocated by additional buildings – which will be partially demolished as per the Masterplan – which include:
Treves Park, a romantic English-style garden, designed by the architect Giuseppe Jappelli; the sixteenth-century walls with the Bastion Cornaro by the Veronese architect Michele Sanmicheli; the building of the Pediatrics clinic built in the 1950s, the work of the architect and engineer Daniele Calabi, recently listed as a cultural asset by the Superintendence of Venice; L’Old hospitalfrom the end of the 18th century, project by the architect Domenico Cerato (designer of Prato della Valle).
THE OUT-PUT OF THE WORKSHOP: self-construction of semi-permanent structures and prototypes of furniture for children
The interventions that will arise from the workshop will aim to clarify the objectives of the 2022 Masterplan, with the creation of micro-projects for the enhancement of some fundamental nodes of the area, anticipating some openings and connections.
It’s about 4 surgeriesmore precisely: a small outdoor theatre with seats and representation platform where children can be actors and spectators, one linear exhibition space which will enhance the history of the stratifications from the Paleo-Venetian to today with a shelter along the trace of the walls, where finds already cataloged by the Superintendency will be exhibited. The area adjacent to the clinic will be affected by the construction of games for childrenfinally, in the Treves park area, one will be designed threshold that will connect the historic garden to the hospital, breaking a caesura and opening the park, where furnishing devices and prototypes will be created, allowing everyone to make better use of the place. The project proposals must show an appropriate distribution and functional logic, associated with the different users, through a careful choice of shapes, materials, finishes, colours, rest areas, benches and connections that meet the needs of both young patients and external users and of the citizens of Padua.
«The solution of open places, dedicated to young patients, must be attractive to make them participate in a unitary narrative and stimulating by capturing all the nuances of the different opportunities proposed which can be the natural environment understood as a place of refuge and tranquility» specifies Gabriele Cappellato on the interventions that will be carried out in self-construction «The proposed solutions must show sensitivity, attention and knowledge for sizing, flows, technologies and materialsall components that make it possible to think of spaces that must be inclusive, flexible and accessible, capable of integrating and being safe».
