Conference Announcement, "Form + Function: The Hospital", McGill University, Montreal, 19-21 June 2003
The International Network for the History of Hospitals will hold its first international conference in North America at McGill University in June 2003. Following the successful pattern established in the INHH’s two previous conferences, “Form + Function” will be divided into four inter-related sessions:
- the 2- and 3-dimensional images of the hospital
- the hospital’s social form
- utopian hospitals: theory, image, and reality
- the hospital’s medical form and functions.
The sessions will encourage an exploration of a number of questions including: how medical ideas and functions shape design; how different patient populations experience the hospital and contribute to its formal development; how the hospital is imagined and portrayed; and how the hospital forms a medical and social space. Each session will have four 30-minute papers and a discussion led by a distinguished chair who will act as commentator. Paper sessions begin Thursday afternoon and run through Saturday afternoon.
