Supporting and Formative– structural system of the skeleton and body
1. Exchange–metabolic function
2. Protective Function – for important organs
3. Connecting Link – between different body parts (functions of the Bone described in Wikipedia)
Microscopic Bone structure is used as an Architectural Element:
Supporting and Formative– ideal biomimetic structure for spanning large spaces such as the spacious multi-storey foyer
Exchange–structure used in all areas to symbolise the exchange and meeting places ( e.g. also waiting rooms) in between visitors, patients and clinical personal, exchange in between the „green“ exterior and „green“ interior of the building ( including conservatories)
Protective Function –biomorphic spaces have for humans a protective atmosphere
Connecting Link – between different policlinics and the public, interior and exterior spaces (e.g. coverage of terraces, conservatories)
