Architect Provides Dignity Through Walls

Aside from designing facilities to improve the lives of Alzheimer’s patients, J. David Hoglund, an architect with the Pittsburgh architectural firm of Perkins Eastman, and his coworkers have been doing something else during the past decade that should be of interest to psychiatrists. They have been designing shelters for the homeless.
One of the ones of which Hoglund is especially proud, he told Psychiatric News, is the Frederic Fleming Residence in the Chelsea section of New York City. “We took an old historic building and renovated it and opened it to provide shelter,” he said. He is currently involved with helping the University Lutheran Church in Cambridge, Mass., build the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter.
Hoglund’s architectural work is considered so good by fellow architects that he was named a fellow of the American Institute of Architects last year. With the exception of the Gold Medal, fellowship is the highest national honor the AIA can bestow on a member.
More information about the facilities that Hoglund and his team are designing and constructing that interface with psychiatry is available by contacting him at Perkins Eastman Architects, The Pennsylvanian, 1100 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15222; (412) 456-0900. Information about Hoglund can also be found on the Web site of the American Institute of Architects at www.aiapa.org.
