A plenary session with presentations of two emblematic projects representing current trends in European hospital architecture, including the design of Tower 7 on the site of the famous and prestigious Liège Sart Tilman University Hospital by VK Architects & Engineers. Followed by a presentation of the design of the new North Hospital of Hôpitaux de Paris with an approach that could be called revolutionary, signed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop associated with Brunet Saunier Architecture.

- Determine the right balance between medical requirements and legacy constraints
- Identify ways to take people into account in hospital environments
Here's a contrast that could seem paradoxical to the untrained eye: engineering and hospital architecture also mean the long life of the building, which is part of history, heritage, urban planning, as well as what we think about disease, pain, and humanity. Three presentations that contextualize these issues that are at the heart of our professions.

- Estimate possible energy saving actions in an existing building
- Develop effective ways to address energy efficiency challenges
We are all aware that the energy needed to run care facilities has been a key issue for decades.
The combination of climate challenges and necessary decarbonation goals, followed by the war in Ukraine and its global consequences, have made this issue an extreme one that endangers our very societies. So, it is up to us to continue to conduct research tirelessly, stubbornly and unstintingly in order to improve our methods and practices in this field.
