Abstract
Specialet præsenterer et arkitektonisk designforslag til en skovbørnehave (en børnehave med hverdagen i naturen) for 3-6-årige børn, både med og uden en ADHD-diagnose. Udgangspunktet er at forstå de udfordringer, børnene møder i hverdagen, så arkitekturen kan støtte deres fysiske, sociale og kognitive udvikling. Tilgangen kombinerer legende læring med viden om, hvordan lys påvirker kroppens biologiske processer hos børn. Specialet undersøger sansemæssige stimuli, lys og bæredygtighed med både kvalitative og kvantitative metoder for at styrke den oplevede rumlige kvalitet. Designforslaget tilbyder en række forskellige rumlige situationer, der giver plads til leg, fordybelse og udvikling i tæt samspil med naturens rolige omgivelser.
This thesis presents an architectural design proposal for a forest kindergarten (an outdoor kindergarten based in the forest) for children aged 3–6, with and without an ADHD diagnosis. The work starts by understanding the everyday challenges children face, so the environment can support their physical, social, and cognitive development. The approach combines playful learning with insights into how light influences biological processes in children. The thesis examines sensory stimulation, light, and sustainability through both qualitative and quantitative methods as drivers of spatial experience and quality. The design proposal offers a range of spaces that enable play, focus, and growth in close relationship with the calm setting of nature.
