  • Hospital Planning
    HOSPITAL PLANNING: REVISED THOUGHTS ON THE ORIGIN OF THE PAVILION PRINCIPLE IN ENGLAND by ANTHONY KING OF the many domestic reforms hastened by the Crimean War, the rethinking of hospital design was one which most concerned the mid-Victorian architect. The deplorable state of military hospitals revealed by the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the Regulations affecting the Sanitary Condition of the Army, the Organization of Military Hospitals and the Treatment of the Sick and Wounded, 1858,1 stimulated the discussion of civil hospital reform2 which was already active in the mid-1850s. The change which took place from the early to the late nineteenth century, from conditions 'where cross-infection was a constant menace' to those 'where hospitals [were] ofpositive benefit to a substantial number ofpatients'3 occurred largely in the years following this report; improved medical knowledge, nursing reforms, increased attention to sanitation, and better planning and administra- tion, combined to ensure that Florence Nightingale's maxim-'The first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm'4-was far less relevant in 1890 than it had been fifty years before. Prior to 1861, there had been a considerable variety of different architectural designs for hospitals in this country, 'but in the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of new hospitals and rebuilt hospitals conformed to one basic plan-a series of separate pavilions placed parallel to one another'.5 The 'pavilion system', as conceived by its advocates, consisted preferably of single storey, or failing this, two-storey ward blocks, usually placed at right angles to a linking corridor which might either be straight or enclosing a large central square; the pavilions were widely separated, usually by lawns or gardens.

  • 3-ARCHITECTS And
    ARCHITECTS and WILSON WEATHERLEY PHIPSON In 2002 the CIBSE Heritage Group produced a biography Wilson Weatherley Phipson, Victorian Engineer Extraordinary 1838-91, written and edited by Brian Roberts, Chairman of the Group. It was updated in 2006 and a limited number of copies printed. It ran to 142 pages with 63 illustrations and featured many of the Victorian hand-written Phipson documents in the Heritage Collection. An electronic book version was subsequently added to the Heritage web site. In addition, further updates have been posted under Victorian Heating Engineers by Heritage Group Webmaster, Frank Ferris. Wilson Phipson worked with many of the leading Victorian architects, men who became RIBA Presidents and who won RIBA Gold Medals, who were Competition Judges and whose works are still admired today. He had repeat commissions from some which indicates Phipson worked well with them and it appears that they recommended him to fellow architects. Phipson also worked with a number of less well-known architects: Bedborough, Matthew Hadfield, Edward Holmes, Horsfall & Williams, Edward I’Anson Jr, Marsh Nelson, Tarring & Wilkinson, R Stark Wilkinson and Christopher George Wray. Information on these collaborations is given in the Phipson Biography. BMR, 2009 Robert Rowand Anderson 1834-1921.
