Abstract
Denne afhandling præsenterer designet af Ilagisakka, et hjem for børn og familier i forstaden Qernertunnguit i Nuuk, Grønland. Projektet udspringer af kommunens behov for at skabe trygge rammer for omsorgssvigtede spædbørn og sårbare familier. Ilagisakka er planlagt til at rumme to familier med én forælder og ét barn, to familier med to forældre og to børn samt 12 børn i alderen 0–18 år. Navnet betyder 'Min familie' og afspejler husets intention: at støtte den enkelte, familien og storfamilien og at fremme de positive effekter, der kan opstå, når flere generationer bor sammen. Opdelingen i forskellige fællesskaber giver hver person mulighed for til enhver tid at vælge, hvilket fællesskab man vil være en del af. På den måde kan huset imødekomme mange forskellige behov hos omsorgssvigtede børn og sårbare familier. Bygningen er udviklet gennem en integreret designproces med fokus på bæredygtig arkitektur. Arkitektoniske og tekniske hensyn er vurderet samlet, især med fokus på form, placering på grunden, konstruktion, sollys og indeklima (de indendørs rammer).
This thesis presents the design of Ilagisakka, a home for children and families in the Qernertunnguit suburb of Nuuk, Greenland. The project responds to the municipality’s need to provide safe housing for neglected infants and vulnerable families. Ilagisakka is planned to accommodate two families with one parent and one child, two families with two parents and two children, and 12 children aged 0–18. The name means 'My Family' and reflects the intention behind the house: to support the individual, the family, and the larger household, and to encourage the positive effects that can arise when several generations live together. The organization into different communities gives each person the option to choose which group to join at any time. In this way, the house can meet the needs of a wide range of neglected children and vulnerable families. The building was developed through an integrated design process focused on sustainable architecture. Architectural and technical considerations were evaluated together, with particular attention to form, placement on the site, construction, access to sunlight, and the indoor climate (the indoor environmental conditions).
