Designing with Care: Hospice designs by JDDK Architects

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Responding to a gap in knowledge in the design of hospices JDDK Architects and their long-term collaborators, Northumbria University, set up a research project to learn from the practices’ extensive portfolio of hospice buildings. Following the untimely death of JDDK’s director Ian Clarke the practice and the university brought together a series of papers written by Clarke during his pioneering career in the field of hospital design. The promotion of a socially beneficial ethos in the architecture and interior design departments at Northumbria University has been complemented by a desire from students to engage positively with authentic and philanthropic projects. The JDDK Hospice initiative therefore addresses a wide variety of educational, professional and societal
issues towards the promotion of design excellence as an active factor in the improvement of the end‑of‑life experience.
