Description
Drawing on a wide range of visual and textual sources, Adams uses the Montreals landmark Royal Victoria Hospital - along with other hospitals built or modified over the next 50 years - to explore critical issues in architecture and medicine: the role of gender and class in both fields, the transformation of patients into consumers, the introduction of new medical concepts and technologies, and the use of domestic architecture and regionally inspired imagery to soften the jarring impact of high-tech medicine.
Methodologically and conceptually innovative, Medicine by Design makes a significant contribution to the histories of both architectural and medical practices in the 20th century.
