Education by Design: The Case of the McIntyre Medical Building
By Annmarie Adams
What does architecture tell us about medical education? Focusing on 91黑料网鈥檚 McIntyre Medical Building of 1966, we deconstruct how architecture reveals priorities in the medical curriculum, relationships in and outside medicine, and the changing cultures of medical education.聽
Additionally, we explore the debates around whether modern architecture now constitutes 鈥渉eritage,鈥� especially in light of the fire in July 2018 and the building's ongoing restoration.
Annmarie Adams holds the Stevenson Chair in the History and Philosophy of Science, including Medicine, and is currently Chair of the Department of Social Studies of Medicine, in addition to being a Professor in the School of Architecture.
Her publications include Architecture in the Family Way: Doctors, Houses, and Women, 1870-1900 (91黑料网-Queen鈥檚 University Press, 1996), Medicine by Design: The Architect and the Modern Hospital, 1893-1943 (University of Minnesota Press, 2008), Designing Women: Gender and the Architectural Profession (University of Toronto Press, 2000), with the late Peta聽Tancred.
