Health and Architecture provides a comprehensive and global perspective on healthcare facilities in the pre-modern era, engaging in a cross-cultural analysis of the architectural response to medical advancements and the emergence of specialized hospitals as a distinct building typology. Whether constructed as part of Chinese palaces in the 15th century or the religious complexes in 16th-century Ottoman Istanbul, healthcare facilities throughout history have been designed as built environments to promote healing and care. The essays in this volume explore how the relationships between architectural forms associated with healthcare and other buildings in the pre-modern era, such as bathhouses, almshouses, schools, and places of worship, reflect changing attitudes towards healing. They examine the impact of medical advances on the design of hospitals across different times and geographies, and investigate the historic construction processes and stylistic connections between places of care and other building types, as well as their development within urban contexts. By deploying innovative methodological, interdisciplinary, and comparative approaches to the analysis of healthcare facilities, Health and Architecture showcases how the spaces of healthcare themselves offer some of the most powerful and practical articulations of therapy.
