This conference is a ‘progress report’ on the BAURéaLS (Blocs Accueil Urgences Réanimation Lyon Sud) project. This project is exemplary in many respects. In particular, the construction phase revealed a number of complexities that had not been foreseen when the project was being developed.
This project brings together all the specific features found in contemporary hospital construction, in particular its Lean Design programming, the complexity of its programme and, above all, its extension/refurbishment of an existing building in operation.
The feedback will come from both the users and the project management. Here we show how the project team and the owner adapted to the various unforeseen circumstances and how we overcame this complexity, each on our own side of the fence.
