Brunet Saunier Architecture

During the Journées de l’Architecture en Santé, held in Menton from October 17th to 19th , Jérôme Brunet and Matti Anttila, from AW2 practice, will give a talk about the Trauma and Cancer Center of the Helsinki University Hospital, whose delivery is scheduled for the end of 2022.

This new building will provide a valuable link between existing emergency and cancer services, creating a large unified hospital center that will enhance the operational efficiency of patients, visitors and staff. The project is resolutely looking towards the future, both in its architecture and in the methods implemented in the design phase.
For the first time, Brunet Saunier Architecture and its partners used the “Big Room” method of bringing together designers and users to collaborate throughout the studies via a virtual reality immersion system. (CAVE)

During the 4th Health Architecture Days in Menton, Jacques Levy-Bencheton, BIM Manager of the practice, and Matthieu Lalanne, DB-LAB’s Director, will give a talk about an application developed for the management of the Hospital’s Big Data.

They will present the implementation of a powerful Common Data Environment, with the use of ACC & BIM360 platforms combined with an application developed with Forge, for the management of hospital project data. Based on the HUSOGPN project, designed by RPBW and BSA, they will explain the implementation of data workflows in order to create optimized circuits to involve all project stakeholders, programmers, clients, architects and design offices with Collaborate Pro and BIM360 Docs. They will show how a connected Forge application will collect data from digital models and process and trace data throughout their lifecycle, from programming to building maintenance.

Jacques LEVY-BENCHETON will speak at Autodesk University 2022 in New Orleans. With Mathieu Lalanne from DB-Lab, he will give a course illustrating the implementation of a common data environment - using the Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360 platforms combined with an application developed in Autodesk Forge - for data management of a hospital project. In this case, the Saint-Ouen Grand Paris Nord University Hospital is intended to be the largest hospital in Paris, France, designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop and Brunet Saunier Architecture with INGEROP.

Jérôme Brunet est invité à participer au neuvième symposium “Health Care of Futur” le 4 mars à Berlin.

Le concept de “structures efficaces, modulaires et flexibles” joue un rôle clé lorsqu’il s’agit de formuler les futurs défis de la construction dans le secteur de la santé. La pandémie a donné une nouvelle acuité à cette exigence. L’adaptabilité flexible va de pair avec l’idéal de soins de santé efficaces en termes de ressources et centrés sur le patient. Elle est en outre l’expression de formes de soins de plus en plus numériques et décentralisées.
Le symposium se consacre à ces questions en abordant les aspects programmatiques, sociaux et architecturaux des soins de santé orientés vers l’avenir.

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.
