Modern Hospice Design
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-30815-9 (ISBN)
Benefitting from a clearer methodological approach and conceptual framework, the expanded book allows a broad section of readers to navigate the text more easily. At its core is a public discussion of a philosophy of design for providing care for the elderly and the vulnerable, taking the importance of architectural aesthetics, the use of quality materials, the porousness of design to the wider world, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces as part of the overall care environment. In doing so it advocates care settings that, in the words of Maggie Jencks whose life and ideas inspired the Maggie’s Centres, ‘rise to the occasion’. Including new chapters and new in-depth case studies, complete will full colour illustrations, this book is for architects and interior designers and their students, healthcare professionals, social care providers, estate and facility managers, hospital administrators and Healthcare Trust Boards.
Ken Worpole is the author of a number of admired books and studies on architecture, landscape and urban design, and an adviser on public policy to the UK government, the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, and the Heritage Lottery Fund. A former Professor at The Cities Institute of London Metropolitan University, in the words of The New Statesman, ‘Worpole is a literary original, a social and architectural historian whose books combine the Orwellian ideal of common decency with understated erudition.’ Elsewhere, The Independent newspaper has written that, 'For many years Ken Worpole has been one of the shrewdest and sharpest observers of the English social landscape.'
