Abstract
The dichotomy between the proposals for a healthcare organization conceived as part of the social equipment of the settled community or as an elective terrain of a model of corporate introversion, which had its most evident manifestation in Tony Garnier’s proposals for healthcare equipment for the Citéindustrialle and in the example of the Ford Hospital in Detroit, it is paradigmatic of the differences between the different concepts that have shaped the origins of the modern hospital and are proposed today as fully relevant in conceiving the articulation of healthcare equipment through a typological organization aimed to adequately provide from time to time a unifying register of the functioning of both the basic healthcare bodies and the associated and collective life functions of the settled population.
