The Future of Orthopedy
Hässleholm, Sweden, 2022–
FORTH, The Future of Orthopedy is a new cutting-edge healthcare facility dedicated to advanced orthopedic care.
MUSEEA was commissioned by the Skåne region of southern Sweden to create a facade artwork for this groundbreaking new building. The arwtork draws inspiration from the rolling landscapes of Hässleholm and Skåne, as well as the organic curves of the human body. These flowing forms are mirrored in both the facade and the courtyard, creating a visual language that harmonizes with the surrounding architecture and natural environment. The design underscores the scientifically recognised healing power of nature, bringing its soothing presence closer to both patients and staff, enhancing their physical and mental well-being.
Further inspired by the intricate beauty of nature's fractal patterns, the facade features perforations that transition from large to small, echoing the repeating patterns found in ferns, spider webs, and tree branches. Research shows that such fractal patterns can stimulate and enhance brain activity, contributing to a calming and restorative environment.
