This book is a thorough investigation into the architectural evolution of hospitals, from their humble beginnings in medieval times to the complex structures of the present day. It explores how the arrangement of hospital buildings has reflected the changing understanding of disease and the evolving role of healthcare. The author demonstrates how early hospitals were often little more than isolated cells for lepers, while later monasteries and religious orders played a crucial role in the development of separate infirmaries for the sick. As medical knowledge expanded, so too did the complexity of hospital design, with the pavilion plan emerging as the preferred model for promoting ventilation and preventing the spread of infection. The book concludes by examining the latest innovations in hospital architecture, highlighting the importance of creating spaces that are both functional and therapeutic, fostering healing and well-being.
