#hopitaldufutur, A platform for reflection initiated and led by Groupe-6 architectes since 2019

Designing a hospital means understanding far more than its form. It means grasping the transformations of care, anticipating how spaces will be used, and listening to those who work there, heal there, and innovate there.

Since 2019, #hopitaldufutur has been the way Groupe-6 architectes conducts this ongoing inquiry — by opening it up, sharing it, and making it useful to as many people as possible. The platform brings together multidisciplinary expertise, organises encounters with key figures from the world of healthcare, and conducts exploratory research around four themes:

AI and robotics — Environment — Design — Medical advances

Through more than forty podcast conversations, #hopitaldufutur has gone to meet the many publics of the hospital — patients, doctors, researchers, directors, administrators — as well as experts (engineers, historians) and creative practitioners (writers, designers, filmmakers, journalists) who live the hospital or are inventing its future. Illuminating and thought-provoking, their testimonies speak to their expectations and aspirations for the hospital of tomorrow, and to their deep attachment to this singular place in our society — a true common good. They describe its complex ecosystem and bear witness to the immense value of human expertise alongside technological innovation, and to their boundless potential.
