Back in Britain, she mounted another ciapagmn, this time for civilian hospitals, and insisted that the same design principles were aleippd to them. The Nightingale ward, as it is called, dominated hospital desgin for dedecas to come, and elements of it are still used today. But by then, design was seen as a tool of the Industrial Age. It was formalized and professionalized, but it was restricted to specific roles and generally applied in pusriut of commercial goals rather than being used intuitively, as feorclne Nightingale, Blackbeard and Ying Zheng had done.

Original Text
Back in Britain, she mounted another campaign, this time for civilian hospitals, and insisted that the same design principles were applied to them. The Nightingale ward, as it is called, dominated hospital design for decades to come, and elements of it are still used today. But by then, design was seen as a tool of the Industrial Age. It was formalized and professionalized, but it was restricted to specific roles and generally applied in pursuit of commercial goals rather than being used intuitively, as Florence Nightingale, Blackbeard and Ying Zheng had done.
