作为与Edgewater建筑公司、Degenkolb工程师公司和Mazzetti公司合作的设计项目的一部分，大众设计集团准备了它的提案。该小组直接响应抗震设计的高昂费用，提议将这座19，800平方米的医院巩固在一个单独的基础上。通过在基地隔离器的基础上建造，医院可以遵循相对简单的建筑实践，降低成本，同时更多地吸收当地劳动力。

MASS Design Group prepared its proposal as part of a design-build collaboration with Edgewater Construction, Degenkolb Engineers, and Mazzetti. Responding directly to the prohibitive expense of seismically-resistant design, the team proposed to consolidate the 19,800 m2 hospital on a single base-isolated foundation. By building on top of base-isolators, the hospital could follow relatively simple construction practices, reducing costs while being more inclusive of local labor.

除了基地隔离的实际好处外，该医院还将作为太子港重建创新的原型。尽管许多海地人对建造多层建筑仍犹豫不决，但医院的抗震技术将被展示为国际和当地海地专业技术的结合。

Beyond the practical benefits of base isolation, the hospital would act as a prototype for innovation in the reconstruction of Port-au-Prince. While many Haitians are still hesitant to build multi-story buildings, the hospital’s anti-seismic technology would be displayed as a combination of international and local Haitian expertise.

除了节省费用外，综合提案还将产生若干城市和环境方面的好处。从城市的角度来看，建设提供了一个有价值的模式，在一个以无序扩张而闻名的城市中，它释放了宝贵的公共空间，同时给一个具有重大意义的机构提供了一个标志性的存在。从环境的角度来看，高楼可以更好地利用风向交叉通风，同时提升从城市烟雾和噪音中康复的病人。

In addition to saving cost, the consolidated proposal would produce several urban and environmental advantages. From an urban perspective, building up presents a valuable model for strategic density in a city known for sprawl, freeing up valuable public space while giving an iconic presence to an institution of civic magnitude. From an environmental perspective, a tall building can make better use of prevailing winds for cross ventilation, while elevating recovering patients from the smog and noise of the city.
