Modern Hospice Design: The Architecture of Palliative Care

摘要

Ken Worpole's book explores the architectural challenges and design issues presented by modern hospices [1]. Set within the context of the history of the architecture of palliative care and the concerns and fears that have been articulated about hospitals as places to die, Worpole asks if hospices offer a new building type. As the author of many books on architecture, landscape and urban design and as an adviser to the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), Worpole is in a strong position to provide a substantial answer to the question he asks.
