Book Description
As health becomes a central focus of political debate, are architects, urban designers, and landscape architects seeking a new moral and
political agenda to address these concerns? Imperfect Health looks at the complexity of today's health problems juxtaposed with a variety
of proposed architectural and urban solutions. Essays by Margaret Campbell, David Gissen, Carla C. Keirns, and Sarah Schrank deal with
different aspects of the topic of health in the context of architecture such as: "An Architectural Theory of Pollution" and "Strange
Bedfellows: Tuberculosis and Modern Architecture-How 'The Cure' Influenced Modernist Architecture and Design." This book is published
in collaboration with the CCA, Montreal on the occasion of the exhibition Imperfect Health: The Medicalization of Architecture, curated by
Giovanna Borasi, CCA Curator of Contemporary Architecture, and Mirko Zardini, CCA Director and Chief Curator.
