Title |
Collapse and Expand: Architecture and Tuberculosis Therapy in Montreal, 1909, 1933, 1954
|
Abstract |
An examination of the complex reflexive relationships among technologies associated with tuberculosis care and treatment: the fresh air cure, surgical collpse therapy, architecture, and chemotherapy. The authors review the architectural histories of the Royal Edward Laurentian Hospital (later the Montreal Chest Hospital) to track important transformations of treatment environments. They argue that the endurance of specialized tuberculosis architecture, with its porches, balconies and sunning galleries, provided crucial material and spatial continuity for therapy, even after chemotherapy's successes augured the end of dedicated tuberculosis hospitals and sanatoria.
