It not infrequently happens that the senior assistant medical officer of a modern institution for the insane is elected medical superintendent of an old asylum. Such was my lot when early in 1887 I was chosen by the Court of Aldermen of the City of London to fill the post of chief officer to their asylum at Stone, and I entered upon my duties with no light heart, because it was early apparent that many structural and administrative changes would be necessary to bring this institution abreast the times. The asylum is constructed on the gallery or corridor plan, in linear form, extending from east to west, with projections north and south at several points. This linear form is modified by semi-detached laundry and workshop blocks, which are connected by covered ways to the central administration situated midway between these blocks, and at right angles to the line of the wards, which it intersects as it runs north and south. The style of architecture is Gothic, of white brick with Suffolk quoins, stone mullions, and dressings to the gables; the roof is of Broseley tiles. There is a handsome tower of white brick and stone with embattlements; the central portion of the tower is an iron smoke shaft, the part intervening between this and the outer wall being a heated extraction shaft for removing the foul air from the galleries and single rooms. The buildings are of two stories, except to the south of the central administrative block, where there is a third story for the old chapel (now being converted into a recreation hall), and for some of the staff bedrooms of either side. The estate comprised in 1887 thirty-three acres.

<p>Laurajane Smith argues that traditional approaches to heritage tend to conform to ideas of preservation; privileging tangible and physical connections between past and present. This thesis explores heritage as an experience that can be facilitated by, but not limited to these physical remains; proposing an approach in which intangible characteristics are privileged.  This alternative approach to heritage employs themes of memory, performance and intangibility in order to establish a means of architectural intervention. Within this multi-sensory approach to heritage, reminiscence is achieved by formalising a historical narrative of space, visually evoking feelings in regard to memory of the site. The site of this investigation is the Fever Hospital in Mount Victoria, Wellington, an abandoned heritage building purpose built as an isolation hospital in 1919. Through multiple architectural interventions, this thesis designs the integration of this neglected, forgotten, and isolated site as a significant element of the city. Historical narrative is engaged as a tool to distil intangible conditions and preserve the sites heritage value that would not otherwise be considered. The method of this architectural investigation uses iterative design and critical reflection to test ideas of form, scale, and program. Throughout these tests light, shadow, material, and narrative are employed as mechanisms to accentuate these less tangible elements. Informed by the history of the site, this investigation explores the programs of a bath-house and public performance space. The result being a mixed-use public space that activates the site as a component within the social context of the city, while embodying a sense of reminiscence to intangible heirtage; experienced through the spatial narrative.</p>
