Coline Periano, a doctoral student in the philosophy of medicine, gave a lecture in Centre de Jour l'Adamant to an audience of 30 people on the following topic:

Proposal of a concept: Clinical Architecture

There are architectures that heal, therapeutic architectures, that bring health, salubrity, or lead to good health behaviour. Through the concept of clinical architecture, we propose criteria that are both more modest and more political for the architecture of healthcare facilities. More modest, because clinical architecture does not seek to cure users but to accompany their care. It is also more political, because we consider that this care requires the recognition of the knowledge and the pace of life of people living with chronic diseases. Clinical architecture articulates method and proposal: it looks at users and their perceptions of space, it proposes a welcome, support and visibility of the singular uses they develop of space.
