Abstract
By the year 2025 there will be five billion city dwellers, the majority residing in economically weak, developing countries. Due to time and distance barriers from the center city, periphery locations develop without necessary institutions, such as medical care, and struggle to gain healthy integration and development. This thesis explores urban and architectonic processes promoting connection within a standardized medical system displaced throughout the Mexican culture. The process is executed through the design of a telemedical network, connecting two geographically dislocated places through telecommunication, providing like services to distinctly different regions. A three-part medical system allows interchange amongst rural-mobile units, peripheral clinics, and interior physicians. The networked buildings are designed with a standardized, prefabricated systems approach to allow for flexibility, while rooting in location stylistically thru vernacular evolution, expanding newly defined places. A distribution of interior institutions will allow greater access to the expanding population in an effort of urban-upgrading.
