Résumé
Condorcet : An unpublished report on hospitals. This report by Condorcet is part of a debate in the Académie des Sciences before the Revolution concerning the replacement of the Hôtel-Dieu. Con-dorcet's propositions are highly original. His hospital planning is presented within the framework of an optimisation problem based on data selected through an empirical process. Instead of a single structure, he recommended breaking up the hospital into smaller neighbourhood units designed by a mul-tidisciplinary team of architects, mathematicians, surgeons, «political scientists » and other specialists. In addition, this is probably the first text to propose community participation in the design decision-making process.
