As part of the 6th Healthcare Architecture Days, which take place from 14th to 16th October in Menton, Jérôme Brunet will give a lecture on the future Lariboisière Hospital, tracing the history of the site from its creation to the project currently led by the teams of Brunet Saunier & Associates.
This presentation will be an opportunity to retrace the agency’s conceptual process, the lessons to be learned from the past through a detailed historical analysis of the site to build the hospital of tomorrow in a rich and constrained urban environment.

The hospital is a heterotopic place, an other, concrete space physically located within a society and which obeys rules that are different.
Named “The Versailles of misery”, the Lariboisière hospital, named after its benefactor Elisa Roy, Countess of Lariboisière, has become the “model” hospital.
Its history from its origin to the present day testifies to a capacity of scalability that has proven its extensibility and its mutability.
Inspired by an innovative health organization in England, the ideal hospital of Jean Dominique Du Puy, the Lariboisière hospital of architect Martin-Pierre Gauthier, inaugurated in 1854, maintains a relationship both independent, isolated but also constitutive of the XIXth century city in full expansion at the heart of the real estate saga of the banker James de Rothschild and Baron Haussmann.
The Nouveau Lariboisière project we are currently working on is a political and urban response to the development of the hospital in the city centre and the conservation of living heritage.
Is rigorous design synonymous with freedom and flexibility of use?
What are the rules and the genesis of ideas that govern the design of a hospital and the appearance of an archetype?

Intervention de Jérôme Brunet, Clément Billaquois et Hugo Viellard
“L’hôpital du futur est-il déjà construit?”

Is the hospital of the future already built?
This is the question that our associate architects, Clément Billaquois and Hugo Viellard, will be tackling in their lecture on Tuesday 17 September at the 5th Journées de l’Architecture en Santé 2023.

In recent years, there has been a great deal of discussion about the nature of the ‘hospital of the future’. However relevant they may be in their understanding of medical developments and their implications for architecture, this forward-looking work all too often overlooks the issue of greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, proposing new construction as the almost systematic response, and leaving the renovation of existing buildings in a kind of blind spot.
And yet, while the building sector is responsible for almost a third of our greenhouse gas emissions, the same observation is being made everywhere: to meet our commitments to reduce our carbon footprint, we will need to build less (and renovate more) in the future. So it’s not out of the question to think that the “hospital of the future” has already been built.
We therefore propose to examine the relevance of renovation in hospital projects, based on a number of concrete cases being studied by Brunet Saunier & Associés (hospitals in Blois, Argenteuil, Fontainebleau, Hôpital Fondation Rothschild, etc.), and to provide some answers to the questions that arise:
What kind of heritage should be renovated? To what extent does it make sense to conserve existing buildings, which are often deemed unsuitable or obsolete?
How can we renovate without compromising the flexibility inherent in hospital design?
While it is sometimes more appropriate to build a new building, how can we ensure that it can be renovated in the future (as in the case of the hospitals in Marne-la-Vallée, Belfort-Montbéliard, etc.), and guard against the risk of obsolescence in the face of rapid advances in medicine and technology?

Jérôme Brunet has been invited to take part in the ninth “Health Care of Futur” symposium on 4 March in Berlin.

The concept of “efficient, modular and flexible structures” plays a key role when it comes to formulating future construction challenges in the healthcare sector. The pandemic has brought this requirement into sharper focus. Flexible adaptability goes hand in hand with the ideal of resource-efficient, patient-centred healthcare. It is also an expression of increasingly digital and decentralised forms of care.
The symposium addresses these issues by looking at the programmatic, social and architectural aspects of future-oriented healthcare.

Jérôme Brunet (Brunet Saunier Architecture) and Antoine Chaaya (RPBW) will be presenting the Grand Paris Nord University Hospital (HUGPN) in session 1, “Flexible Frameworks”. For more information and to register, please visit the enah website (European Network Architecture for Health).

Brunet Saunier Architecture is pleased to present its new publication: Phylum H, Brunet Saunier Architecture on healthcare, Hatje-Cantz Editions, Berlin.

This book offers an open look at a specific and still opaque area of ​​architecture: hospital design. Brunet Saunier Architecture has been dedicated for many years to studying and developing the process of integrating the functional procedures required in medicine, social requirements and spatial potential. Assimilating this complex expertise, their projects become fascinating time capsules. On the one hand, they offer an analytical look into the past, seeking medical, historical and typological elements of hospital functionality. On the other hand, they examine the potential offered by new technologies and the evolution of living and care practices. The result is unique buildings, characterized by a sophisticated mastery of the flexibility of the spatial structure, and giving a central place to the well-being of patients and caregivers. They create places of exploration for technology, knowledge, work and social life - for now and for the future. This publication deals with this unique creative process with the help of expert interviews, plans, photographic points of view and data extracted from the agency’s projects. Brunet Saunier architecture was founded in 1981 by Jérôme Brunet and Éric Saunier. The agency is mainly engaged in the construction of public buildings. The successful interplay of formal and functional aspects of hospital buildings has made the architectural firm famous across Europe.
