Summary: The Architecture of Health explores the past, present, and future of hospital design. A direct reflection of health care innovation through-out the ages, the hospital, as a design type, is locked in a struggle to predict and keep pace with the ever-evolving demands of medicine. Negotiating a fundamental conflict between form and function, hospital architecture may impede or advance our collective rights – such as the right to healthcare, and the right to breathe clean air – but it must fulfil our most elemental right: the right to dignity
