The research of K. Xanthopoulos follows the evolution of hospital architecture from the 18th century to modern times (with hospitals around the world that have been built since the 1970s and hospitals in Greece to this day). The writer talks about the importance of architecture, especially where the hospital constructively combines ideas and actions that highlight its functional self-evident value, its humanistic function and its social contribution: at the juncture of architecture and medicine.
