Health and Architecture

The History of Spaces of Healing and Care in the Pre-Modern Era

Edited by Mohammad Gharipour, Morgan State University, USA Health and Architecture offers a uniquely global overview of the healthcare facility in the pre-modern era, engaging in a cross-cultural analysis of the architectural response to medical developments and the formation of specialized hospitals as an independent building typology. Deploying new methodological, interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to the analysis of healthcare facilities, the essays in this collection demonstrate how the spaces of healthcare themselves offer some of the most potent and functional articulations of therapy.

Jenny Roe, University of Virginia, USA & Layla McCay, Centre for Urban Design and Mental Health, UK Explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies – from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community – and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and researchers alike. Written by a psychiatrist and public health specialist, and an environmental psychologist with extensive experience of architectural practice, this much-needed work will prompt debate and inspire built environment students and professionals to think more about the positive potential of their designs for mental well-being.

Making the Arctic City

The History and Future of Urbanism in the Circumpolar North

Peter Hemmersam, Oslo Centre for Urban and Landscape Studies, Norway Making the Arctic City explores the unwritten history of city-building in the Arctic over the last 100 years. Spanning northern regions of North America, through Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard to Russia, this is the fi rst book to provide a truly circumpolar account of historical and contemporary architecture and urbanism in the Arctic – and it shows how the Arctic city offers valuable lessons for the post-colonial study of architectural and urban planning history elsewhere.

Strayed Homes

Cultural Histories of the Domestic in Public

Edwina Attlee, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK Part architectural history, part cultural history Strayed Homes is an exploration of overlooked, everyday places where private and intimate activities take place in public. Across 4 chapters set in 4 small, liminal spaces - the launderette, the greasy spoon, the fi re escape, and the sleeper train - it follows a series of allusions and impressions, to explore how fi lms, adverts, books and anecdotes shape experiences of everyday architecture. Making a case for the poetic interpretation of space, the book can be used as a sourcebook for architects and designers as well as for theorists.

The Architectural Models of Theodore Conrad

The "miniature boom" of mid-century modernism

Teresa Fankhänel, Architekturmuseum der TUM, Germany This book tells the story of Theodore Conrad (19101994), the most prominent and prolifi c architectural model-maker of the 20th century. With exclusive access to Conrad’s archives - as well as those of model photographer Louis Checkman – both of which have lain undiscovered in private storage for decades – this book examines Conrad’s work and legacy, accompanied by case studies of his major commissions and full-colour photographs of his works. The book ultimately presents an alternative history of American modern architecture, exploring how Conrad’s models prompt broader scholarly questions about the nature of authorship in architecture, the importance of craftsmanship, and about the translation of architectural ideas between different media.
