The coughing body
With newfound relevance in the context of Covid-19, we focus on the coughing body, building on an in-depth qualitative study of three UK lung infection clinics treating people with cystic fibrosis. Conceptually we take our cue from Norbert Elias and the way something as physiologically fundamental as coughing becomes the focus of etiquette and technique, touching also on themes central to Mary Douglas’ anthropology of pollution. This is explored …
Fixing the future? How architects make time in buildings for later life care
Drawing on scholarship that explores the making of time, this article aims to develop sociological understandings of architecture's relations with temporality. Commentary from within and outside architecture has often suggested that a sensitivity to time is missing from its practices (and indeed, that time is actively excluded from architecture). We argue that, rather than attempting to rectify a perceived absence of engagement with time in archi…
Materializing architecture for social care
This article reports on an ethnography of architectural projects for later life social care in the UK. Informed by recent debates in material studies and "materialities of care" we offer an analysis of a care home project that is sensitive to architectural materials that are not normally associated with care and well-being. Although the care home design project we focus on in this article was never built, we found that design discussions relating…
Air care
With significant relevance to the Covid-19 pandemic, this paper contributes to emerging 'aerographic' research on the socio-materialities of air and breath, based on an in-depth empirical study of three hospital-based lung infection clinics treating people with cystic fibrosis. We begin by outlining the changing place of atmosphere in hospital design from the pre-antibiotic period and into the present. We then turn to the first of three aerograph…
Materialities of Care
A resonant architecture
This paper discusses the work of Liam McCormick, an architect whose buildings are principally found in the landscapes of the North-West of Ireland. Primarily known for designing church buildings in the post-war period, his work is memorable for its translation of aspects of Modernist architecture within the specificities of the towns, country and coastlines of Derry and Donegal. This paper uses several of his buildings as the means to bring tradi…
Essentially it's just a lot of bedrooms
This article draws on ethnographic data from a UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded study called 'Buildings in the Making'. The project aims to open up the black box of architectural work to explore what happens between the commissioning of architectural projects through to the construction of buildings, and seeks to understand how ideas about care for later life are operationalised into designs. Drawing on recent scholarship on …
Conceptualising 'materialities of care
Materialities of care' is outlined as a heuristic device for making visible the mundane and often unnoticed aspects of material culture within health and social care contexts, and exploring interrelations between materials and care in practice. Three analytic strands inherent to the concept are delineated: spatialities of care, temporalities of care and practices of care. These interconnecting themes span the articles in this special issue. The a…
Imagined bodies
This article comprises a sociological analysis of how architects imagine the ageing body when designing residential care homes for later life and the extent to which they engage empathetically with users. Drawing on interviews with architectural professionals based in the United Kingdom, we offer insight into the ways in which architects envisage the bodies of those who they anticipate will populate their buildings. Deploying the notions of ‘body…
Visibly Mute
In this paper, we argue for an ethical understanding of exurban environments, which we propose as symptomatic spaces of neoliberalization. We outline the idea that civility within public places is a mode of moral communication grounded in everyday encounters and embedded in the ordinary places in which they are enacted. We also advance the argument that exurban environments, as properties of neoliberal capital, employ distinct strategies to monop…
Affective sanctuaries
Since 1996, Maggie’s has led a new approach to cancer support that emphasises the empowering potential of the designed environment for its users. This paper draws on qualitative research from two separate projects undertaken with staff, visitors and volunteers at 10 Maggie’s Centres, exploring their experiences of Maggie’s environments, and their use of internal spaces and garden areas. Maggie’s has been most often noted for the buildings it comm…
Th Sociology of Health and Illness Monograph
Architecture and health care
Sociologists of health and illness have tended to overlook the architecture and buildings used in health care. This contrasts with medical geographers who have yielded a body of work on the significance of places and spaces in the experience of health and illness. A review of sociological studies of the role of the built environment in the performance of medical practice uncovers an important vein of work, worthy of further study. Through the his…
