Abstract

Dette speciale foreslår et hospice i Ry, der skal hjælpe patienter med at møde livets afslutning med værdighed og mening. Designet sætter oplevelsen for patienter, pårørende og personale først. Naturen skal være let at se og komme ud til, så rummene orienteres mod sollys og gode udsigter, og dagslys prioriteres. Kvaliteten i hvert rum—loftshøjde, størrelse og proportioner—bearbejdes omhyggeligt, og indeklimaet planlægges for komfort. Arkitekturen inviterer nænsomt til social kontakt og let aktivitet: en sanselig have med mange siddepladser, store vinduer mod landskabet og skridsikre, gangvenlige gulve opfordrer til korte gåture og ophold udendørs. Bæredygtighed indarbejdes gennem materialevalg og en energieffektiv bygning. Vægmaling undgås, og tiltag, der sænker energiforbruget—som passiv solvarme, passiv køling og rigeligt dagslys—tages i brug. Bygningselementer standardiseres, for eksempel vinduesmål og rumstørrelser, for at spare tid, omkostninger og arbejdskraft i udførelsen.

This thesis proposes a hospice in Ry designed to help patients meet the end of life with dignity and meaning. The design puts the experience of patients, relatives, and staff first. Nature should be easy to see and reach, so rooms are oriented for sunlight and good views, and daylight is prioritized. The quality of each room—ceiling height, size, and proportions—is carefully shaped, and the indoor climate is planned for comfort. The architecture gently invites social contact and light activity: a sensory garden with many places to sit, large windows facing the landscape, and non-slip, mobility-friendly floors encourage short walks and time outdoors. Sustainability is addressed through material choices and an energy-efficient building. Wall paint is avoided, and strategies that lower energy use—such as passive solar heating, passive cooling, and generous daylight—are applied. Building elements are standardized, for example window dimensions and room sizes, to save time, cost, and labor in construction.
