An urban study project for the design of a hospital for the city of Techiman, in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana.
The project attempts to capture two main elements of the city: the cultural embrace of community and communal living, and the colorfulness of the city. The huge canopy also recognizes the constant search for shade in a city where the average temperature is about 75 degrees and acts as a uniting element between separate units.
