Today, Architectural and design concepts are an integral component of healing and recovery from illnesses. This contemporary development has precisely the same impact on the construction of hospitals and health care facilities and the interior design of staff, patient and visitor areas. Significant aspects of this are use of light, selection of colours and materials, and ultimately, the adaptability of spaces to changing requirements. Masterpieces: Hospital Architecture + Design gathers together 60 important projects from all over the world. The reader will find a selection of projects by international specialists in this field and, at the same time, by architects who approach the subject from a completely different perspective. This richly illustrated volume appears in the Masterpieces series.
