  • Resumen
    • Corridors and waiting rooms are as important to the patient experience as clinical spaces. Yet in modernist hospitals they tend to be isolating, soul-destroying places to be. Since the 1970s, Toronto-based Montgomery Sisam Architects have been redressing the balance, enhancing patient wellbeing and restoring a connection to the great outdoors by focusing on the porch, the gallery and the courtyard.

      Terry Montgomery, one of the firm's cofounders, here cites their inspirations, from traditional towns and centuries-old hospitals to modern urban theorists, and presents some of their recent buildings.
