Abstract
The text is the result of an interview conducted by Sahar Taheri with the studio.entresitio regarding three healthcare centers in Madrid, called ‘3*1’. They share a common form despite being located in different urban contexts. Thus, the three centers embody a strategy of a ‘placeless building’, offering formal autonomy and conceptual flexibility. The concept of ‘programmatic bars’ is introduced, emphasizing aggregation rather than division in the design of the healthcare program. The trilogy represents innovative design approaches, reconciling opposites and creating coherent and adaptable healthcare structures.
