费城门诊中心儿童医院的Buerger先进儿科护理中心设有两个主要景观空间：地下停车场2.6英亩的广场和一个14000平方英尺的屋顶花园。 Buerger先进儿科护理中心的各种空间，从身临其境的药用花园到非正式的草坪，创造了一系列丰富的经验，让患者，访客和中心的工作人员参与。高度可见的花园通过基于颜色，声音，触觉和香味的感官刺激来促进健康。
六楼屋顶花园不仅为工作人员和病人提供喘息的场所，还为生产园林提供治疗机会，互动式喷泉和恢复课程。 Schuylkill河启发的喷泉和参考费城街道的种植床之间的相互作用，赋予景观在当地环境中的地位感。
该建筑物旨在为患者提供广场和屋顶花园的景观。材料和形式元素将两个空间统一起来，从所有有利位置提供视觉参与。高度设计的景观适合所有年龄段的儿童，并提供愉快和俏皮的体验。研究表明，绿色空间提供了平静的影响，可以减轻压力，加快愈合过程，并提高生产率。病人经常在花园里花时间报告感觉更好，更容易忍受医疗程序。新建的景观体现了门诊中心的使命，通过使用最佳的可持续发展做法和绿色计划，反映出一个繁荣和健康的生态环境，作为反思，恢复和康复的指定地点。
The Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Ambulatory Care Center features two major landscape spaces: a 2.6-acre plaza over underground parking, and a 14,000-square-foot roof garden. The variety of spaces at The Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care, ranging from immersive medicinal gardens to informal lawns, create a diverse set of experiences that engage the patients, visitors and staff of the center. The highly visible gardens promote well-being through sensory stimuli based on color, sound, tactility and fragrance.
The sixth floor roof garden provide not only a place of respite for staff and patients, but also therapeutic opportunities through production gardens, an interactive fountain rill, and a rehabilitation course. The interplay between the Schuylkill River inspired fountain and the planting beds that reference the street grid of Philadelphia, endow the landscape with a sense of place within the local context.
The building is designed to provide patients with views of the plaza and roof garden. Material and formal elements unify the two spaces providing visual engagement from all vantage points. The highly-engineered landscape is scaled for children of all ages and it provides a cheerful and playful experience. Studies show that green space provides a calming influence that reduces stress, speeds the healing process, and increases productivity. Patients often report feeling better after spending time in a garden and tolerate medical procedures more easily. The newly created landscapes embody the Ambulatory Care Center’s mission as a designated place for reflection, recovery, and healing by using the best sustainable practices and green initiatives, which in turn reflect a lush and healthy ecology.
