The Hippocratic
Garden
The project developed as an art work by an
artist supported by Studio Callaghan as an architecture/landscape
practice. A garden for a new hospital was based on themes from
Hippocrates as the founder of contemporary health provision.
The strategy was for meanings to be layered and overlaid. Reflective
surfaces were proposed made of films of water flowing over
beds of rock. Specific texts by Hippocrates were integrated
with hard and soft landscaping and architecture elements.
