Abstract
Green Zone undersøger, hvordan arkitektur kan understøtte heling og trivsel. Bygninger er ikke i sig selv helbredende, men valg i designet, der skaber fysisk komfort, kan gavne både krop og sind. Projektet tager afsæt i en aktuel debat om rekreative rammer for danske veteraner og munder ud i et rehabiliteringscenter for veteraner, der er blevet fysisk skadet eller psykisk traumatiseret under krig. Designet er udtryksfuldt og er udviklet gennem en iterativ proces—gentagne afprøvninger og forfinelser—som forener arkitektoniske, miljømæssige og helingsmæssige hensyn. Denne tilgang har også en positiv effekt på bygningens energimæssige ydeevne og gør den mere energieffektiv.
Green Zone explores how architecture can support healing and wellbeing. Buildings are not cures on their own, but design choices that create physical comfort can benefit both body and mind. The project responds to a current debate about providing restorative environments for Danish veterans and proposes a rehabilitation centre for veterans who have been physically injured or psychologically traumatised during war. The design is expressive and was shaped through an iterative process—repeated testing and refinement—integrating architectural, environmental, and healing considerations. This approach also has a positive impact on the building’s energy performance, helping it use energy more efficiently.
