The Bégin Military Teaching Hospital has found a perfect balance between history and modernity: it has kept its gardens, preserving its historic quadrangle, and given itself a dynamic new extension facing the Bois de Vincennes park, which is reflected in the coloured glass of the facade. In this project, the architect embraces colour.
The arrangement is particularly carefully thought out, linking all the services offered on this hospital campus. The new building emerging from the site is creating a far-reaching image for the hospital.
