Sammanfattning
As the population in Sweden is
aging, age related diseases are on
the rise. The environment that we
are commonly surrounded by is more
often than not unsuitable, or in some
cases hostile, to older people. In this
project, the focus is set upon people
with advanced symptoms of dementia.
For them, the way the environment is
designed can make a real difference. It
could be a source of stress, dizziness
and fear if not accommodating to their
condition. Dead ends, reflections,
inaccessible paths and the lack of
contrast, are sources of confusion and
could get in the way of understanding
their surroundings. However if done
correctly, the environment can also be a
source of comfort and stimulation. The
goal of this design is to create assisted
living facilities in Utby, Gothenburg,
that can be considered as a home. It
needs to transpire a sense of safety
and bring comfort to its inhabitants.
Three concepts are applied throughout
the site: to create a neighborhood,
to build a diverse and complex
environment, to design with the local
natural qualities. These guidelines
will support a dementia village design
enabling choice, flexibility, but also
bring a sense of calm to its inhabitants.
