  SSR-Gériatrie du Centre Hospitalier François Quesnay à Mantes-la-Jolie

  02.04.2012

  PROJET LAUREAT

  L’hôpital François Quesnay constitue un équipement public majeur de Mantes-la-Jolie. Sa forme architecturale - le pont d’un navire, à quai sur la Seine - et son implantation, constituent un point de repère fort, véritable symbole de la transformation du quartier du Val Fourré. Le projet d’extension de l’hôpital renforce l’unité architecturale du projet initial et prolonge la volumétrie du plateau technique existant par un bâtiment compact, organisé autour d’un patio. Le grand axe de composition, épine dorsale de l’hôpital, dessert l’entrée principale, le hall maternité, le restaurant, puis se poursuit jusqu’à la salle de conférence, sa terrasse attenante, et enfin, jusqu’au hall du SSR. Un jardin-terrasse domine le paysage de la Seine et les coteaux lointains. Son aménagement, en contact avec le paysage naturel environnant, préfigure le nouvel éco-quartier en cours de projet. Ce choix fort d’intégration tire le meilleur parti de la proximité de l’hôpital. Il permet d’offrir un usage partagé des équipements communs, favorise les échanges entre les équipes médicales spécialisées et limite les parcours des patients et facilite le repérage. La volumétrie simple offre une évolutivité optimum.

  Léopold-Bellan geriatric hospital, 14th arrondissement, Paris

  20.06.2011

  WINNING PROJECT
  

  With its simple volumes, flush against the building line, the Léopold Bellan hospital project, part of the St Joseph hospital complex, contributes to the creation of a new "Parisian street" extending the atmosphere of the 14th arrondissement. It falls within the scope of the strict parcel plan for the urban network, with the brief for each individual clinic defining the building line and expressing its identity and its uniqueness.
  The new facility's contemporary facade draws inspiration from the traditional composition of Parisian buildings by creating a hierarchy between the base and the apexes. The ground floor, at pavement level, signals the opening of the establishment onto the city. It is transparent and gives a view of the internal garden. Its colourful architecture embellished with patterns – perforated panels – is calming. The Léopold Bellan signage reinforces its identity. The attic section repeats the same architectural vocabulary and rounds off the building's silhouette. The main body, housing patient rooms, is punctured by individual windows sized to optimise the natural lighting and heat insulation inside the building. Each room has one large window or two smaller windows. The variety of openings also creates a graphic vibration reminiscent of the facades to be found in the neighbourhood's traditional streets. The clash of volumes between the body of the building and its apexes.

  Saint-Joseph hospital, Marseille

  01.04.2011

  WINNING PROJECT
  

  The transformation and complete redesign of the Saint-Joseph hospital enabled the establishment to open onto the town; the image of a closed space had to be erased. With the removal of the enclosing wall, it is now possible to see a broad, tree-lined avenue and a contemporary facade on a small scale punctuated by the old wings in the internal courtyard. The choice of the "horizontal" hospital concept makes it possible to gently integrate new buildings into the site and to carry out work in successive blocks. The hospital is organised into separate units bringing together a number of complementary specialised fields.

  “Architectures subjectives”

  22.11.2010

  What space should we give to subjectivity in modern architectural creation?
  That is the question posed in this book by Jean-Philippe Pargade which makes a strong argument for the architect's right to express his own uniqueness. In his opinion, the thinking behind architecture "d'auteur" is first imbued with subjectivity and then integrates rationality, rigour and observation of uses. In so doing, it escapes the voracious standardisation of the contemporary world. Drawing on his experience as an architect, with glimpses of influences from improvised music and art, Jean-Philippe Pargade advocates putting the personal dimension back into plans, fuelled by the clash of ideas within an alert team and the client's vision.
