Canarian architect Artemi Hernández to build a mobile library for the ICU

The third of the project's works will be a space of "memories and remembrance" within the ICU environment.

The fourth and last artist of the Tenerife concomitance, Paediatric ICU, will be the Canarian architect, Artemi Hernández de la Office of Civic Innovation, which will be in charge of the construction of a mobile library (third of the works of this project), which will collect “memories and memory”, helping to transform the environment of the Paediatric ICU and to tell patients and professionals the secrets of this unknown and inhospitable environment.

The work started only a few weeks ago, with the help of the principals, and the development is in an initial phase in which they are trying to uncover individual desires and needs, in order to reach common agreements and solutions. A rich, open, horizontal and exciting journey, according to the artist himself tells usWe are still in a very abstract and conceptual phase, our way of working is based on a participative dynamic, on reaching certain agreements about what we want to achieve or transmit with this object. We haven't yet specified much, we are all learning a lot in the process. This mobile library will perhaps transform the ICU beyond what we imagined.

From its practice, Artemi designs and promotes methodologies and processes that generate more efficient and healthy relational contexts., as well as the conditions necessary to facilitate the urban management, social transformation and community development through design and mediation. A task that fits perfectly with the needs of this concomitance that aims to provide tools to health professionals, so that they can emotionally accompany patients and families in their transit through a Paediatric ICU.
