Abstract
Introduction. In this study, the author aimed to characterize the current status of hospice and palliative care in China, to identify current trends in hospice architectural design in China, to give recommendations for further research on the subject of hospice architecture in China.
Materials and methods. Methods were applied to analyze publications in English and Chinese (translated into Russian) from 2010 to 2024, using electronic databases Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed/Medline, using the keywords “hospice architecture in China”, “palliative care in China”, “Chinese hospice”, or “terminal care in China”. An interdisciplinary approach is also applied, considering the influence of medical, sociological, demographic, managerial aspects on the architectural design of hospices within China.
Results. The research is presented in the form of a historical review and the current state of hospice and palliative care in China, identification of modern trends in the architectural design of hospices in China, their organizational and architectural and artistic features. These results can be used in scientific research on the subject and in design practice in the design of palliative care centres and hospices.
Conclusions. The prerequisites for the development of the hospice movement in China are given. The analysis of the demographic situation, which has a direct influence on the architectural-planning and urban planning organization of hospices in China is carried out. Recommendations for further development of scientific research on the architecture of such objects are given.
