Summary: Healthcare Architecture in the Netherlands describes the development of buildings for health care: hospitals and psychiatric institutions as well as housing and care facilities for the
elderly. Eight chapters provide a chronological overview of the architecture of buildings for health care, from its emergence as a specific typology to the most recent care complexes. In
addition, some 50 buildings from the last century and a half are described and illustrated in detail. A series of thematic textsaddresses specific aspects of national and international
architecture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in relation to buildings for the healthcare sector.
