Death and architecture. -Allison Killing-

The most common causes of death are cancer and heart attacks, because they are chronic diseases. We spend so much time in the hospital. We've all been in a hospital, and we all know that we suffer discomfort and hallways are unpleasant. Hospital architecture doesn't do a good job designing hospitals because death is a tabu in the society.

In Italy there's an hospital that seems cozy because there are some backyards where you can feel natural lights and natural air.

Allison Killing, an architect, complains about hospital architecture and asks people to talk about it to change the hospital design, or rather, how we die.
