Prendre soin, ou la santé en question

La santé elle-même est devenue une source d’angoisse et le « bien-être » une affaire pressante de responsabilité individuelle. Que l’environnement bâti puisse nous rendre malades est devenu une évidence, et il est donc tentant de croire que l’architecture ou l’urbanisme peuvent aussi nous guérir : en soignant ou apaisant notre corps, en contribuant à évacuer notre stress, ou en favorisant notre (re)mise en forme. Ce dossier explore les liens entre la santé et l’architecture, les types possibles d’intervention et les principes particuliers qui les sous-tendent. On y contemple également l’éventualité désagréable que nos meilleures intentions ne puissent en fait qu’engendrer de nouvelles complications.

Glasgow Improvements Act

Photographies de Thomas Annan

À Glasgow, les conditions de vie misérables d’une population vivant entassée dans des logements insalubres poussent le conseil municipal à adopter le Glasgow City Improvements Act de 1866. Cette politique, à l’origine d’une des premières réformes sur l’hygiène publique, a pour but d’abattre les taudis des quartiers les plus pauvres de la vieille ville et de permettre le développement urbain. Le photographe Thomas Annan reçoit du Glasgow City Improvement Trust le mandat de documenter les bâtiments condamnés et les passages étroits des bas quartiers sur le point disparaître. Les 31 épreuves à l’albumine originales réalisées par Annan entre 1868 et 1871, ont été rassemblées dans un album.
