Meer over het boek

Phylum H focuses on a unique architectural task: constructing a hospital, a specialty of Brunet Saunier Architecture. Their approach involves thorough research into medical functions, social needs, and aesthetic possibilities, resulting in plans that serve as captivating time capsules. They analyze historical, medical, and typological elements of hospital design while also exploring new technologies and treatment practices. This dual perspective leads to the creation of distinctive buildings characterized by flexible spatial structures and integrative design, fostering environments for technology, knowledge, work, and social interaction for both present and future needs. The publication delves into this creative process through sketches, interviews, 3D models, blueprints, and photographs. Founded in 1981 by architects Jérôme Brunet and Eric Saunier, the firm focuses on public buildings. Their ability to harmonize formal and functional aspects in hospital architecture has garnered them recognition throughout Europe.
