Frame #78 Jan/Feb 2011

We explore modern hospitals and how their designs might influence the healing process. We chat with Erwin Wurm, who playfully distorts the dullest domestic architecture. Get to know French architects Karine Chartier and Thomas Corbasson, who use the sculptures of the late Paul Belmondo in attempt to reconcile their respective crafts at an exhibit in France.
