This Hospital tower proposes an editable gradation tower, which responds to the evolving program through the flexibility of a vertical stacking arrangement. the gradation skin made by the plastic arrangement of Programmatic Bands will be an element that adapts to the environment as it changes according to the nature or vertical arrangement of the internal program. Actually, even during the construction process, there was a change in the stacking arrangement as the program was changed twice. The Programmatic Bands thus formed give possibility for flexible vertically stacking.
