“We no longer limit ourselves to defining massing and footprints. We are defining how buildings relate to one another, how public space functions, and how architectural language gains a unique identity rather than repeating tired global solutions.”
“The new hospital, which represented an investment of 50 million euros, will open its doors in three months in the parish of Guilhufe and Urrô and will allow the creation of 120 direct jobs and 300 indirect jobs. It will feature “state-of-the-art technology” and will include outpatient services, dental offices, a gastroenterology department, clinical analysis and pathology services, imaging, a physiotherapy service with treatment rooms and a gym, 90 inpatient beds, an operating theater, and an emergency care service.”
“The well-known and widely recognized topic of decarbonization and sustainability in architecture is generally framed within a context of formulaic approaches or tectonic systems, which, despite all their technological interest, tend to limit other unconstrained avenues of thought and discussion that could bring multiple, sometimes comparative, perspectives to the table.”
“As the first Public-Private Partnership (PPP) hospital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to move into construction, Al Ansar Hospital in Madinah represents a turning point for healthcare delivery in the Kingdom and across the GCC. It sets a benchmark for how public and private partners can deliver transformative social infrastructure.”
“The Recognition Ceremony of the 5th edition of the PPP MENA Forum celebrated notable contributions, leadership, and initiatives in the field of Public-Private Partnerships. By honoring excellence, it ensures that the most impactful efforts continue to inspire innovation across the region,” said the spokesperson of the PPP MENA Forum. “By recognizing excellence, it ensures that the most impactful efforts continue to inspire innovation throughout the region.”
“Unlike conventional tertiary care centers, Al Ansar Hospital was conceived with a singular mission: to provide high-throughput, high-resilience care to a population that is transient, diverse, and often medically vulnerable due to age, chronic conditions, or environmental stress. As a result, the facility was planned around scalable emergency and acute services that can flex in response to pilgrimage season surges, supported by infrastructure that maintains operational continuity even in extreme conditions.”
“At RSO Architecture, we are honored to contribute to this pioneering national project that sets a new benchmark for PPP-driven healthcare development in Saudi Arabia.”
