The Holy Spirit Hospital, completed in 1286, is one of the oldest existing social institutions in the world and one of the most important buildings in Lübeck.
To this day, the Holy Spirit Hospital is partly a retirement and nursing home.

Thanks for everything. I know saying it on every image can make it seem insincere, but I really mean it. I enjoy sharing pictures with all of you.
The hospital was commissioned by the Southport Strangers Charity who established it using voluntary donations in Lord Street in 1806. It became the Southport Dispensary in 1823.
After the existing premises became too small, it moved to a new purpose-built building designed by Thomas Withnell in the Gothic Revival style in Seabank Road in 1853. Its name changed again when it was extended and became the Southport Convalescent Hospital and Sea-Bathing Hospital in 1862. It was extended again to a design by Paull and Bonella in 1881.
It served as a military hospital during both world wars. It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and developed as a treatment centre for patients with acute medical conditions, spinal injuries and orthopedic injuries. After the spinal injuries unit transferred to the Southport General Infirmary in 1988, the hospital finally closed in 1990.
The hospital, which is a Grade II listed building, was subsequently converted into luxury apartments and is now known as Marine Gate Mansions.
"There's nothing to do here
All just lie and complain
In bed at the hospital
Coming and going
Asleep and awake
In bed at the hospital..."

A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

Bright sunny days can create terrific shadows in a street environment. Here a woman walks past a concrete wall outside St. Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst, Sydney.

I used to work here. This hospital unfortunately was closed a few years ago because it was over 100 years old.
Luton and Dunstable University Hospital (just a fraction of its frontage). Over the decades, it has grown, more buildings were added, and space becoming ever more precious. The alternative would be to completely rebuild the complex according to medical necessities. For many reasons, however, the add-on approach was chosen, and this led to the highly complex structure we have got today. I am not complaining, I am actually grateful to what the staff are doing. You just need a map to find your way or find somebody giving you directions.
This is the view I had one morning at River Bend Hospital looking out of the giant window toward close conifers and forested land. The sunrise made a band of colors along the horizon.
This mural by Hendog, a graffiti artist who works secretly at night, was discovered in April 2021 on the wall of the hospital in Winchester. It is his tribute to the nurses for their work during the pandemic.
I am always happy to find a new mural by Hendog, who is sometimes described as Hampshire's answer to Banksy.
Here you can find those which I have discovered so far:
