Medical and hospital architecture

Dewin's reputation was closely linked to medical architecture. His first major hospital commission was the former Berkendael Surgical Institute in Ixelles, designed for Antoine Depage in 1903–1905.^[3][2] This building was the first in a series of hospitals and clinics designed by Dewin that culminated in the Saint-Pierre University Hospital complex in central Brussels.^[2]

In 1907, Dewin contributed to La construction des hôpitaux: étude critique, a study by doctors Depage, Vandervelde and Cheval. His contribution presented aspects of the new clinic, including the arched operating-room windows on the top floor, a feature he later reused.^[5][6] His hospital designs combined medical requirements for hygiene, lighting, ventilation and spatial organisation with an environment intended to be welcoming and reassuring for patients.^[7]

Other medical buildings by Dewin included the former institute for the treatment of eye diseases of Dr H. Coppez in Etterbeek (1912),^[8] the former Belgian Dental School on Chaussée d'Etterbeek (1913),^[9] the former clinic of Dr Jean Verhoogen in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, with work by Dewin dating from 1907 and 1920;^[10][11] the ophthalmological institute of Dr Frère in Anderlecht (1912), ^[12][13] the Longchamp Medical-Surgical Institute in Uccle (1914),^[7] a home for children with tuberculosis in Bredene (1922)^[7] and the former maternity clinic of Ixelles, an Art Deco hospital building dating from around 1930–1935.^[14]

After the First World War, Depage became president of the Belgian Red Cross, which took over the Brugmann complex and commissioned Dewin to extend it in 1926 with the Medical-Surgical Institute and Health Centre on Rue Joseph Stallaert. The complex therefore illustrates two major phases of Dewin's work: the pre-war geometric Art Nouveau clinic and the 1926 Art Deco Red Cross extension.^[2]

From 1922, Dewin worked on the new Saint-Pierre University Hospital complex, a project that occupied him for more than a decade.^[7]

Domestic, social and civic architecture

Dewin also designed private houses, apartment buildings, social housing and civic buildings. His domestic work was concentrated particularly in Brussels municipalities such as Forest, Ixelles, Uccle, Etterbeek, Schaerbeek and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean.^[4] His own house at Avenue Molière 151 in Forest was designed in 1905 in Art Nouveau style.^[15] Maison Bruno Schmidt, Avenue Molière 172 in Ixelles, was designed in 1910 for the engineer Bruno Schmidt in geometric Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession inspiration.^[16]

Dewin also designed social housing, including buildings for the Foyer Laekenois in Laeken (1910–1921).^[13][17] His largest civic commission was the Forest Municipal Hall in Art Deco style (1935–1939), listed as protected heritage since 22 October 1992.^[18]
