Architecture in the spotlight
Press release
7 November 2017
The Paris Healthcare Week 2018 shines a spotlight on hospital architecture and will host the 38th international seminar of the International Union of Architects (UIA) Public Health Group.
This year, hospital architecture will be at the forefront of the Paris Healthcare Week, which will bring together all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem, from 29 to 31 May 2018. Through a host of events, the trade show will serve as a think tank on the renovation of hospitals.
Over the last few years, the Paris Healthcare Week has placed particular emphasis on hospital architecture, with a dedicated Architecture Village. In 2018, the trade show will host the annual seminar of the UIA’s public health group, and will organise three keynote speeches, entitled “The Art of D.A.T.E.”, by major international experts.
This dynamic forum for discussion is an outstanding opportunity for France and Europe, enabling hospitals, architects, engineers, industrial companies and all other stakeholders involved in the future of healthcare establishments, to share their visions of the evolution of national and international hospital structures, on an architectural, technological and human level.
A number of topics will be addressed, including the digitalisation of hospitals, the ecological issues involved in hospital design, architecture that takes the elderly into account, and special facilities dedicated to psychiatric care.

For 5 years now, Paris Healthcare Week has welcomed the Architects Village, which brings together thirty offices and national and international agencies, in a privileged area at the heart of the show and oriented towards reflections on the evolution of French and European hospital and medico-social.
Nearly 20 conferences, debates and round tables based on the concerns of health professionals embellish a program that has become, over the years, the major event for hospital architecture stakeholders.
