BDP
BDP is a major international practice of architects, designers, engineers and urbanists who create outstanding places for people. Benedict Zucchi is the lead architect for the new children’s hospital on the St. James’s Campus in Dublin. Benedict was design lead for the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton, which was completed in 2007 and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital which is currently under construction. Both projects drew heavily on BDP’s experience designing schools, where an inter active user centered approach produced memorable and innovative child friendly buildings including the Marlowe academy, winner of the RIBA Best School of the year in 2007. “
In the selection of the design team for the new children’s hospital we have sought out particular proven expertise in the design of large scale paediatric healthcare projects and a high level of experience in sustainable architecture projects, as well as specific local knowledge” John Pollock, Project Director, NPHDB
