In principle, the overall planning of the Shanghai Children's Medical Center project "takes from nature and uses it for nature". The red line of the project site was originally the central green space of the hospital. It is the visual focus of each building of the hospital. It also meets the different functional needs of children's activities and leisure activities. In the tight land use, the architects adopted different design techniques such as: dislocation and reduction of building volume, overhead first floor, roof greening for group houses, building internal courtyards and sunken courtyards, etc., to retain and increase the original public activities in the courtyard. Space area, and through these different design techniques, the hospital's ecological environment has been optimized, and the level of public activity space has been enriched.

In the overall planning of the new medical complex, the original public medical street in the hospital is reconstructed and optimized through the closed "kou"-shaped medical street. The "kou"-shaped medical street organically organizes the original buildings together. Let the medical functional blocks be more efficiently integrated together, shorten the medical flow of doctors and patients, and make the medical process in the hospital more convenient and efficient.

The newly-built medical complex is a reconstruction and expansion project to make anticipatory planning for the migration of part of the hospital's functions, and to provide feasible space for the hospital's later development needs. The new functions are combined with the original functions, and through the replacement of different functional spaces, the hospital's medical services are more perfect, and more space is created for the update and iteration of medical technology. The facade design respects the original building plan and architectural form, extracts the facade texture from the original building, and uses the same vertical modeling technique to shape the building facade, so that the new building and the original building in the courtyard are better integrated, so that The new building inherits and continues the original building shape and facade style in the courtyard.
