AN INVESTIGATION of the MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE MENTAL HOSPITAL BUILDING TYPE Irvin J. Kohler August 1954 Submitted to the faculty of the Department of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in partial fulfillment of masterts thesis study, 1954. FOREWARD This study is concerned with the application of .the disciplines of architecture to the problems of the care and treatment of the mentally ill. I feel that there is sufficient justification to demand the re-thinking of build- ings housing the patient's treatment and living facilities to make them more in keeping with our standards of contem- porary achievements in both architecture and psychiatry. The limitations of such a study were: the study, itself; the personal limitations of the investigator; and the presentation. The gap between architecture and psy- chiatry is tremendous. Each is a field unto itself, but the two must be joined together if there is to be a satisfactory solution to the problems of the mental hospital building type. A great deal of time and research was necessary be- fore the writer could even begin to bridge this gap, due to professional differences in terminology, outlook, and ap- proach. The next limitation was my personal discomfort when I saw the patients illhoused, with very little in their en- vironment to help them retain their individuality and denied the right to facilities for a complete life because of build- ing deficiencies. The last limitation was that the presen- tation of such a study must necessarily be orderly and cata- logue in an organized way what a mental hospital is and needs. However, no such order is in existence in the actual build- ing, and unfortunately this presentation tends to leave the reader with the concept of order in the mental hospital. -
