I have chosen the architecture of mental institutions as my digital project topic. After doing the reading for Tomes, the Kirkbride Plan piqued my interest. I found this article about Danville State Hospital in Pennsylvania which was modeled after the Kirkbride Plan for building “Asylums”. I choose this institution specifically because it is still operating today with a majority of the original architecture.
