<\/em>Thursday April 18 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GLAZIERS’ HALL
9 Montague Place
London Bridge
SE1 9DD<\/b><\/p>\n

As with so many aspects of our lives, healthcare changed radically as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment thinking which it triggered. Some changes were of immense value, but others came with unfortunate consequences. ASCHB2024<\/strong> turns the microscope onto the built environment and healthcare, looking at the impacts of science and fashion on hospitals and other healthcare buildings, and asking: what are we doing right, and where have we gone off the rails? How can we extract the best ideas from the whole history of healthcare in the built environment, to construct a better and healthier future?<\/p>\n

Registration will be from 8:30 – 9:15am<\/p>\n

The conference will be opened by the ASCHB Chairman,\u00a0Sherry Bates,\u00a0<\/strong>at 9:15am<\/strong>. We will break for morning tea at 11.00am<\/strong>,\u00a0 lunch at 12:30<\/strong> – 1:30pm<\/strong> and afternoon tea around 3:15pm.<\/strong> The conference will close at 5:00pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a great line-up of speakers: the day is divided into three broad themes: past, present and future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Part 1 KNOWLEDGE FROM THE PAST<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Jelena Bekvalac, Curator of Human Osteology at the Museum of London<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What we really know about health in the past: <\/span>\u201cCancer, diabetes, dementia.. We think of these diseases as scourges of modern industrial living, but have they always existed undetected in humans? Do we have genetic predispositions to such conditions? The archive of human skeletal remains at the Museum of London provides a large bank of evidence to investigate how far some of these diseases go back in time.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dr Michael Carter, Senior Properties Historian at English Heritage<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Medieval Monasteries and public health: <\/span>\u201cHow different things were in earlier centuries when life, according to the old adage, was \u201cnasty, brutish and short\u201d. But despite what Blackadder, Monty Python and countless HistoryChannel documentaries would have you believe, our medieval ancestors weren\u2019t stupid. Nor were they entirely helpless in the face of illness and disease. As was so often the case, monasteries were at the forefront, providing both physical and spiritual healing.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. India Wright, University of Cambridge doctoral candidate and Trustee of the Construction History Society<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Spas and health: <\/span>\u201cWe know much about the major spas at Bath and Tunbridge Wells which catered for the wealthy elite, but what of the lesser spas which sprang up in the late seventeenth century to be frequented by ordinary people?… [what do their structures] divulge of the health and social rituals of the time?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Dr Clare Hickman, Senior lecturer in history at Newcastle University and author of The Doctor\u2019s Garden:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Medicine, Science, and Horticulture in Britain: <\/span>Health care and gardens in the 19th century and beyond: \u201cAs Britain grew into an ever-expanding empire during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, new and exotic botanical specimens began to arrive within the nation\u2019s public and private spaces. Gardens became sites not just of leisure, sport, and aesthetic enjoyment, but also of scientific inquiry and knowledge dissemination.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Dr Robyn Pender, director at Whethergauge<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            How ideas of comfort and health have changed across history: <\/span>\u201cOur thermoregulatory systems become moribund if they are not exercised… In other words, the more we live and work in tightly controlled thermal conditions, the more apt we are to feel uncomfortable; or worse, to suffer serious health problems from exposure to very hot or very cold conditions.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

            Part 2 WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW: CASE STUDIES<\/b><\/h3>\n
              \n
            1. Will Palin, CEO of Barts Heritage Trust<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Waking a Sleeping Giant: The Rescue and Repair of the North Wing at St Bartholomew\u2019s Hospital: <\/span>\u201cThe North Wing with the Great Hall and Hogarth Stair, and the Henry VIII Gate, are among the most important, yet largely unrecognised, buildings in the City of London, and… the project to return them to their former glory [allows] everyone to see and understand their importance in the life of the oldest hospital in Britain.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Fiona Lamb, Director at Avanti Architects<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Finsbury Health Centre: <\/span>\u201cAvanti is thrilled to finally be undertaking the next phase of conservation work at Finsbury Health Centre, a project we started over 25 years ago. The phased works… will help secure this deeply loved resource for its local community.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Ian Fleetwood, Senior Designer at HOK<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  The importance of the landscape at the new Royal Papworth Hospital:<\/span> The park-like setting on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus features green spaces organised around a duck pond (a cherished feature from the old location) that provides patients, family and staff a link to nature that aids in the healing process.\u00a0 Unfortunately Kirstin Ziemer is unable to join us due to unforeseen circumstances.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Siobhan Wyatt, Director of Property at Maggie\u2019s Centres<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Maggie\u2019s Centres: <\/span>The Maggie\u2019s Centres are a network of drop-in centres located near existing hospitals in theUK and Hong Kong, founded by the late Maggie Keswick Jencks, who died of cancer in 1995. Like her husband, architectural writer and critic Charles Jencks, she believed in the ability of buildings to uplift people.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

                    Part 3 WHAT DO WE NEED TO CHANGE FOR THE FUTURE?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                    1O. ENDNOTE: C Alan Short, Professor of Architecture at Cambridge University and President of Clare Hall<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Alan Short is the author of <\/span>The Recovery of Natural Environments in Architecture<\/span><\/i>. He argues persuasively that architects must look at how their predecessors designed for a wide range of climatic conditions before the invention of \u2018artificial weather\u2019. His extensive research on historic naturally ventilated buildings aims to re-establish a common thread of learning that was abruptly cut by Willis Carrier\u2019s application of mechanical air conditioning in the early 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Alan and his team have a long background in investigating the links between buildings and health, and lead the UK AHRC project \u2018Excising Infection in Surgical Environments\u2019, which focused on the design of operating theatres. His research group has produced a film of its work on the NHS Estate, \u2018Robust Hospitals in a Changing Climate\u2019, which won the tv\/e Global Sustainability Film Award 2013 at the BAFTA. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alan worked as part of a small team on \u2018Making Emergency Hospitals Safer\u2019, and sat on the SAGE-EMG group advising DCMS on the reopening of theatres (of the non-medical kind!). He also co-authored a report on UK infrastructure\u2019s resilience to infection that was published by the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC). The risk of airborne cross-infection is now taken much more seriously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Alan was appointed to administer and monitor the NHS Energy Efficiency Fund 2013-14 with the Professor of Sustainable Engineering Peter Guthrie, reporting to the Under Secretary of State for Health, and his team has redrafted the guidance on energy efficiency for the NHS.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    PLENARY: Weaving old and new into a better future for health<\/b><\/h3>\n

                    Given the wealth of information we have shared over the course of the day, and our own professional <\/span>knowledge, of where the problems and the opportunities lie, how can we continue to integrate the deep knowledge from heritage with modern medical practice and construction? Our speakers share the stage to discuss these questions with each other and the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

                    Michael Beare, our current ASCHB President,\u00a0<\/strong>will give closing remarks and farewell.<\/p>\n

                    The climate emergency is with us now. It threatens our very existence; and to meet the challenge we shall have to change how we build and operate our buildings. The historic environment is often labelled the villain in the race towards a more sustainable future, but as conservation professionals know, it is arguably our most valuable resource. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

                    The 2022 ASCHB conference will aim to draw lessons from heritage, viewing the historic built environment not as a problem, but as a critical part of the solution. It will look at familiar problems with new eyes:<\/span><\/p>\n
