Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan arkitektur kan støtte mennesker i livets sidste fase. Det foreslår et sæt blide, beskyttende fysiske rammer, hvor terminalt syge kan tilbringe deres sidste dage i fred sammen med deres nærmeste. Motivation er at skabe et sted, hvor patienterne trods helbredets komplikationer ikke dør socialt før fysisk. En hovedprioritet er at skabe omgivelser, der kan aflede tankerne gennem sanselige oplevelser og dermed hjælpe med at skabe minder. Teknisk fokuserer arbejdet på indeklima og bæredygtighed med integrerede designløsninger, der øger komforten og samtidig opfylder BR2020-kravene. Projektet er placeret midt i Tversted Plantage i Nordjylland, i en lysning med frit udsyn over Nordsøen. Overordnet sigter projektet mod at af-institutionalisere bygningen og få den til at føles som et hjem for patienterne.
This thesis explores how architecture can support people at the end of life. It proposes a set of gentle, protective physical spaces where terminally ill patients can spend their final days peacefully in the company of loved ones. The motivation is to create a place where, despite health complications, patients do not experience a social death before the physical one. A primary focus is to design surroundings that can distract the mind through sensory experiences and help create memories. Technically, the thesis focuses on indoor climate and sustainability, aiming for integrated design solutions that raise comfort while meeting BR2020 requirements. The project is located in the middle of Tversted Plantation in northern Jutland, in a clearing with unobstructed views of the North Sea. Overall, the goal is to de-institutionalize the building so it feels like a home for the patients.
