Description

Explore the profound connection between building design and global health in Architecture and the Modern Hospital: Nosokomeion to Hygeia. This Routledge Research in Architecture volume examines how hospital design evolved throughout the twentieth century, reflecting massive shifts in population health and life expectancy. As medical knowledge changed, the architecture of these facilities helped reshape how society views disease, bodily integrity, and security. While the history of hospital design is vast and global, it remains largely overlooked in traditional architectural studies. This book provides a necessary look at how the scale of public health and individual care requirements drove the rapid evolution of medical spaces. For students, historians, and architects, this text offers a deep look into how the built environment responds to the needs of the human body and the changing expectations of modern medicine. It fills a significant gap in the understanding of how medical architecture has transformed our world.
