Hospitals + Asylums | Ran across this site Hospitals + Asylums complied and supported by an architecture links collection site | While the general physical conditions in some mental institutions has improved, others have become colder and more dehumanizing | 
The physical space says much about the conditions we create for troubled souls amongst us | More, perhaps, about our own ambivalence to their worth as fellow travelers through life | Also found a link to information about workhouses and British mental institutions |
I find the quote on this latter site particularly appealing:
"For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to you can always do them good ....."
Mark Ch 14, v7
The images on this entry are from some 800 photos I took while on an adventure/assignment with photographer Chad Kleitsch who is doing different work now, but the body of work for some time was abandoned institutions |
