A new vision for hospital design--current reflections via seven projects.

Jean Pistre

World Hosp Health Serv 46(2):23-6 (2010) PMID 21053654

The identity is renewed each time. In the domain of hospital design, and as we intend it, the architectural practice takes on its true value of utility and the architect his genuine role for the benefit of the society.
