Abstract
Dette speciale foreslår et kræftomsorgscenter i København baseret på helende arkitektur - ideen om, at arkitektonisk design kan støtte helbred og restitution hos mennesker med kræft. Med evidensbaseret design som udgangspunkt fokuserer arbejdet på vilkår og behov hos personer med en kræftdiagnose. Fem case-studier af kræftcentre i Storbritannien og Danmark giver indblik i, hvordan arkitektur kan skabe en beroligende ramme og en atmosfære, der passer til mennesker i en svær fase af livet.
This thesis proposes a Cancer Health Care Centre in Copenhagen based on healing architecture - the idea that architectural design can support the health and recovery of people with cancer. Guided by evidence-based design, it focuses on the conditions and needs of those diagnosed with cancer. Five case studies of cancer centres in the United Kingdom and Denmark provide insights into how architecture can create a soothing environment and an ambience suited to people in a difficult stage of life.
