Abstract
Præget af den aktuelle diskussion om, hvordan ældre bliver behandlet i samfundet, samt det faktum, at demografien ændrer sig hurtigt, hvilket resulterer i en stigende gruppe af mennesker over 60 år, har gjort at dette speciale beskæftiger sig med netop denne målgruppe. Derfor foreslås en ny typologi i dette afgangs projekt, som kan rumme en social måde at leve sammen på, der dog ikke går på kompromis med de grundlæggende behov for fordybelse og privatlivets fred. Det sociale boligkompleks på ca. 3000m2 er en del af en udviklingsplan for FredericiaC, der ligger mellem Lillebælt og den eksisterende bymidte Fredericia, en proces der strækker sig over de næste 20 år. FredericiaC præsenterer en stærk vision for et aktivt og varieret kvarter, hvilket er i overensstemmelse med et centralt fokus for projektet, at studere, forstå og dermed indarbejde begrebet hjemlighed, der udforsker den urbane skala, samt huset og institutionen. Den diversificerede brug af det private hus og den sociale institution er opfyldt i form af at adskille disse tilstande, men gennem intensivt arbejde med overgange og relationer, fremmes overgangene mellem dem. Dette hovedfokus er implementeret og løst ved hjælp af en foldende væg, der former både huset, institutionen og overgangen til byrummet. I bestræbelse på at få et ingeniør arkitektonisk resultat, er tilgangen til projektet baseret på en tektonisk forståelse og dermed er væggen både strukturel og møblering, hvorfor den indeholder både det målbare og det umålelige. Væggen har dermed potentiale til at definere de sociale centre i institutionen, indeholde funktioner såsom køkken, samt henvende sig til den menneskelige skala, i form af dens niveau af detaljering og muligheden for at indtage den som et møbel.
Informed by the contemporary discussion on how elderly are being treated in the society, as well as the fact that the demography is changing rapidly, resulting in an increasing group of people over 60 years, this master thesis is concerned with this group of people. Thus, we are proposing a new typology, which can accommodate a social way of living together, however, not compromising the fundamentals of privacy and contemplation. The social housing complex of approximately 3000m2 is a part of the development plan of FredericiaC between the Little Belt and the existing city center of Fredericia, a progress extending over the next 20 years. FredericiaC presents a strong vision of an active and diversified neighborhood, which complies with a central focus of the thesis, to study, understand and thus incorporate the notion of dwelling, which explores the urban scale as well as the house and institution. The diversified usage of private house and social institution is met through the means of dividing these modes, however intensively working with the transitions and relations, to encourage the movement between. This key focus is implemented and solved by the means of a folding wall, forming both the houses, the institution and the transition to the urban space. Striving to obtain an outcome which fuses both architecture and engineering, the approach to the project is based on a tectonic understanding, thus is the wall both structural and furnishing, why it contains both measurable and the unmeasurable. The wall has the potential of defining social centers within the institution, containing functions as the kitchen, as well as addressing the human scale, in terms of its level of detailing and the possibility to occupy it as furniture.
