À propos de cet audio
In this episode, we explore how guilt-ridden medieval merchants and eccentric Victorian philanthropists built almshouses - so-called 'hospitals of the soul.' We deconstruct the classic almshouse form - the defensive gatehouse, the peaceful quadrangle, and the central chapel - to understand how architecture was used to engineer social cohesion.
Join us as we discover why these 600-year-old designs remain the gold standard for dignified communal living today.
