Dette speciale udvikler et designforslag til et psykiatrisk behandlingssted i Aalborg, Danmark. Projektet undersøger, hvordan de fysiske rammer kan gøres mindre institutionsprægede og mere menneskelige og ikke-hierarkiske, så de støtter heling og kan forkorte indlæggelsestiden. For at nå dette mål analyserer projektet først, hvad der kendetegner institutionsrum, og omsætter derefter de modsatte kvaliteter til rumlige og organisatoriske strategier. Forslaget anvender en evidensbaseret designtilgang, hvilket betyder, at designbeslutninger bygger på forskning. Gennem en integreret designproces samles funktionelle, æstetiske og tekniske hensyn for at skabe rammer, der er praktiske, imødekommende og sikre.

This thesis develops a design proposal for a psychiatric care facility in Aalborg, Denmark. The project explores how to make the architectural setting feel less like an institution and more like a humane, non-hierarchical environment that supports healing and can reduce the length of hospital stays. To do this, it first analyzes what characterizes institutional spaces and then translates the opposite qualities into spatial and organizational strategies. The proposal applies an evidence-based design approach, meaning that design decisions are guided by research. Throughout, functional, aesthetic, and technical requirements are addressed together through an integrated design process to create a setting that is practical, welcoming, and safe.
