Abstract
Denne kandidatafhandling fra Aalborg Universitet undersøger, hvordan naturmaterialer i arkitektur kan afhjælpe stress, med fokus på både psykologiske virkninger og bæredygtighed. Med udgangspunkt i evidensbaseret design (beslutninger styret af forskning og målbare resultater) analyserer projektet, hvordan konkrete designvalg kan understøtte brugernes trivsel. Afhandlingen munder ud i et forslag til en stressreducerende arbejdsplads i Nørresundby, Danmark. Designet omfatter et rekreativt område, der skaber forbindelse mellem arbejdspladsen og byen, samt funktioner som værksteder, showrooms, mødelokaler og fællesarealer. Rapporten gennemgår designprocessen trin for trin og viser, hvordan gentagne iterationer og videnskabelig evidens har informeret den endelige løsning.
This master’s thesis from Aalborg University examines how natural materials in architecture can help reduce stress, focusing on both psychological effects and sustainability. Using an evidence-based design approach (decisions guided by research and measurable findings), the project analyzes how specific design choices can support user wellbeing. The work culminates in a proposal for a stress-relieving workplace in Nørresundby, Denmark. The design includes a recreational area that links the workplace to the surrounding city, and program elements such as workshops, showrooms, meeting rooms, and common spaces. The report presents the design process step by step and shows how iterative testing and scientific evidence informed the final solution.
