“In medical terms, critical care is a specialized branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating life-threatening conditions,” write Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny in the introduction to their new book, Critical Care: Architecture and Urbanism for Broken Planet, just published by MIT Press.
