Questions Concerning Health reports on this critical terrain, focusing particularly on Johannesburg, South Africa (a notable test case in which the term "social equivalency," used by epidemiologists, also carries considerable historical and spatial resonance). Among the book's research findings is that health is an intensively local phenomenon that demands intensively local responses in the form of more sensitive architectural typologies as well as urban planning. Questions Concerning Health presents a number of essays by experts on urban health and Johannesburg in particular, including the design proposals of eight students who participated in the research studio.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Architecture & AntiquesTopic: Medicine, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
