Abstract
Specialet udvikler et design for et Rehabiliteringscenter for Flygtninge i Aalborg-Lindholm med fokus på flygtninge med PTSD. Det overordnede spørgsmål er, hvordan et nutidigt center kan understøtte en holistisk behandling, der integrerer psykologiske, sociale og fysiske indsatser. Gennem en integreret designproces anvendes evidens fra healing architecture, analyser af brugernes behov, sted- og mikroklimaanalyser, case studies (bl.a. Livsrum og Slagelse Psykiatri) samt tekniske undersøgelser af energi og indeklima til at forme program og arkitektur. Det foreslåede design organiseres omkring en “vej til empowerment” som rumlig rygrad, med graderede zoner af intimitet, en forudsigelig, hjemlig ramme og et socialt spektrum, der letter overgangen mellem behandlingsforløb og deltagelse i samfundet. Løsningen arbejder med bæredygtige tiltag og en nordisk materialitet og atmosfære, herunder trækonstruktioner, dagslys og sociale opholdsrum. Specialet munder ud i et helhedsorienteret, miljømæssigt bæredygtigt forslag, der sigter mod at skabe optimale arkitektoniske rammer for rehabilitering af flygtninge med PTSD i en enkel, nordisk kontekst.
This thesis develops a design for a Rehabilitation Center for Refugees in Aalborg-Lindholm focused on refugees with PTSD. It addresses how a contemporary center can support holistic treatment integrating psychological, social, and physical dimensions. Using an integrated design process, the work applies evidence from healing architecture, user-needs analysis, site and microclimate studies, case studies (including Livsrum and Slagelse Psychiatry), and technical assessments of energy and indoor environment to shape the program and architecture. The proposed design is organized around a “path to empowerment” as the spatial spine, with graded levels of intimacy, a predictable, home-like setting, and a social spectrum that eases transition between treatment and participation in society. The solution employs sustainable strategies and a Nordic material and atmospheric expression, including timber construction, daylight, and supportive social spaces. The thesis culminates in a holistic, environmentally sustainable proposal that aims to provide optimal architectural conditions for rehabilitating refugees with PTSD in a simple Nordic setting.
