Sumario:The monograph presents the results of research into the architectural solutions and characteristics of these facilities, in the context of medical developments and technology. The intensive development of medicine and, as a result, the emergence of medical specialties and the first specialist hospitals provide the research background. The 21st century, characterised by rapid technological development, affects all aspects of our lives, including medicine and hospitals. Diseases within civilisation are a growing problem in modern society. These factors and the change in attitude towards patients over recent decades are leading to changes in hospitals. Increasingly innovative solutions and the flexibility of new buildings that can evolve and adapt to future changes are also required. Analysing the history of medicine, it is important to note that the origins of most medical specialties and specialised hospitals as we know them today date back to the 19th and 20th centuries. They are relatively young, with the intensive development of many of them occurring in the 2nd half of the 20th century. For this reason, there are few publications on the architectural aspects of specialist hospitals. A total of 80 sites from 18 European countries were surveyed. They represented 10 different medical specialties. The architectural, urban planning, environmental and design solutions used in the hospitals were examined in the hospitals concerned. The aim of the research was to determine how modernity is expressed in the design of contemporary specialist hospitals, to present European trends in their design, and to demonstrate the relationship of their form and function to a particular specialty. The monograph shows that the development of medical specialties and the spread of certain diseases of civilization have led to the need to build specialized hospitals with a new architectural form. Based on the research, a typology of modern specialised hospitals was created. Differences in the design of hospitals depending on the specialty carried out were also shown, as well as common features of the facilities surveyed regardless of the profile of services provided regardless of the profile of services provided. It was also noted that Evidence-Based Design plays a major role in contemporary hospital design. The work showed that the evolution of hospital architecture is an emanation of the development of medicine sensu stricto.
