Description
Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane
asylums8212raging in appearance from classical
temples to Gothic castles8212wee once a common
sight looming on the outskirts of American towns
and cities. Many of these buildings were razed
long ago, and those that remain stand as
grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much
of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums
epitomized the widely held belief among doctors
and social reformers that insanity was a curable
disease and that
environment8212arhitecture in
particular8212wa the most effective means of
treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla
Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic
design, from America8217searliest purpose8212b
ult institutions for the insane to the asylum
construction frenzy in the second half of the
century. At the center of Yanni8217sinquiry is
Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker,
who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the
mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by
severity of illness, ease of treatment and
surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil
War, American architects designed
Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the
country.Before the end of the century, interest
in the Kirkbride plan had begun to decline. Many
of the asylums had deteriorated into human
warehouses, strengthening arguments against the
monolithic structures advocated by Kirkbride. At
the same time, the medical profession began
embracing a more neurological approach to mental
disease that considered architecture as largely
irrelevant to its treatment. Generously illustrate
d, The Architecture of Madness is a fresh and
original look at the American medical
establishment8217scentury-long preoccupation
with therapeutic architecture as a way to cure
social ills.Carla Yanni is associate professor of
art history at Rutgers University and the author
of
Nature8217sMuseums Victorian Science and the
Architecture of Display.
