L’arquitectura hospitalaria estudiada per Domènech i Montaner

Sant Pau Recinte Modernista reproduces the plans and details of some of the more than 240 hospitals around the world that Domènech i Montaner studied before designing the Santa Creu and Sant Pau hospital at the beginning of the 20th century.

In addition to tracing the evolution of hospital architecture up to the present, as well as the hospitals around the world that he cites as reference, the exhibition explains how Domènech i Montaner does not limit himself to adopting a hospital typology “type” of ‘among those already established at the time, but only takes them as a starting point to arrive at the best possible design while adapting the latest innovations to configure a coherent set of great beauty that does not detract from its functionality.

Familia, in collaboration with Alex Prieto, has been in charge of all the exhibition design.
