摘要

The words "hospital" and "hotel" share the same etymological ancestor, the Latin term hospes, which refers to a stranger in need of shelter, In the massive new Stanford Hospital (built within a stone's throw of its formidable predecessor designed by Edward Durrell Stone in 1959), the two building types converge as well. The first two levels contain spaces for medical procedures, including the emergency department and diagnostic imaging on the ground floor and operations and other medical interventions arranged on the second.
