Abstract

Smallpox Hospital represents a memory, a ruin to be returned to its community, as a place of meditation, a place for reflection and meeting with the natural component that takes possession of what remains of the building in a man-controlled manner. In this project, the complex was dedicated, following the health emergency due to Covid, as a memorial in which the stories of the poor and excluded of the city settle the thoughts and memories of those affected by the current pandemic.
