Abstract
Hospitaler er ofte indrettet med voksne for øje, men unge patienter har andre behov. Dette speciale gentænker hospitalet som bygningstype for at støtte unge bedre. Målet er at vise, hvordan planlægning og indretning kan lette helingsprocessen i en svær periode i livet, og at skabe rum af høj arkitektonisk kvalitet, der omfavner den unge krop og sind og giver en sanselig oplevelse. Rapporten samler vores erfaringer, interviews og analyser og munder ud i et forslag til et dedikeret ungdomshospital som del af Det Nye Universitetshospital i Skejby. Designet introducerer en ny måde at organisere rum på: En buet skillevæg skærer gennem det ellers stramme hospitalslayout og danner en række indbydende, men også rationelle og funktionelle afdelinger samt fælles fritidsområder. Projektteamet har løbende deltaget i debatten om fremtidens hospitaler og delt arbejdet offentligt på www.youthhealingarchitecture.dk.
Hospitals are often designed with adults in mind, but young patients have different needs. This thesis rethinks the hospital as a building type to better support young people. The goal is to show how layout and interior design can ease healing during a difficult stage of life, creating high-quality spaces that welcome the body and mind and offer a sensory experience. The report brings together our experiences, interviews, and analyses and concludes with a design proposal for a Dedicated Youth Hospital as part of The New University Hospital in Skejby. The design introduces a new way of organizing space: a curved dividing wall runs through the otherwise rigid hospital plan, forming a series of inviting yet rational and functional patient wards and shared leisure areas. Throughout the project, the team engaged in the public debate on future hospital development and shared progress on www.youthhealingarchitecture.dk.
