Hospital typological evolution in Algiers, Algeria: Maillot el Kettar hospital and Mustapha Hospitals
Abstract
In the context of Algiers, this paper aims to examine the transformation of hospital types in three different cases: Maillot hospital, el Kettar hospital and Mustapha hospital. Originally, these hospitals served as suburban facilities, comparable in size to urban fragments. However, as the city expanded, they gradually integrated into the urban perimeter and became barriers to further urban growth.
On the other hand, these hospitals underwent a specific typological evolution, which can be attributed to the historical architectural culture of the 19th and 20th century in Algiers. Most of the pavilions were, indeed designed by avant-garde architects, making them significant landmarks in Algiers architectural history. In addition, the evolution of their architectural form can also be considered within the broader developmental typological process of Euro-Mediterranean Hospitals.Keywords
