1784réf. 11036Vienna: Auf Kosten der Korrespondenz Expedition 1784. First Edition. Full contemporary calf. Fine. 8vo 4 5 - 156 2 - errata pp. 4 large engraved folding plates. A landmark monograph and historical turning point in the design construction and management of large municipal hospitals. Fauken was charged with the design of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus in Vienna. It was in fact a renovation of the extensive building complex of the almshouse for soldiers and the poor already extant from the late 17th century. The building was a Baroque masterpiece originally conceived and designed by Prince Karl-Eusebius von Lichtenstein. There were long galleries with many windows and the basic building was well suited to its new role as a medical establishment for a large city where patients could actually be cured. At the outset Joseph II regarded his new hospital as a teaching institution and insisted on the most up-to-date scientific principles in its organization and maintenance. The old galleries of the almshouse were subdivided corridors eliminated and the spaces then re-organized to accommodate single patients by wards. The new hospital was organized as if it were five independent hospitals and the only new structures added to the complex were the asylum and maternity ward. This separation permitted better care and purposeful planning of the facility. There was generous cross ventilation and light and strict adherence to rigorous standards of sanitation and patient care. Assorted charitable foundations were amalgamated or dissolved to provide general and ongoing funding for the institution. Fauken addresses all these issues in the book offered here as well as making an argument for the sound economic sense of good healthcare for the populace.
