Excerpt:

Having spent my career at the intersection of architecture and medicine, I often reflected on historical timepoints when these junctures were most impactful to human health and sickness. I have repeatedly hoped for a deeper review and analysis of these inter-professional connections. Sick Architecture by Beatriz Colomina, Nick Axel, and Guillermo S. Arsuaga does just this.
