The Eyes Of The Skin Architecture And The Senses

The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research

In Finland the social and health care sector is undergoing major changes. The percentage of elderly population is growing due to longevity and low birth rates. Twice as many elderly need to be taken care of with the current amount of human and economic resources. New housing options to better support elderly and their family members have to be developed. The aim of the ongoing project is to develop a new model of a service block, with integrated care and housing. Pilot projects are developed in different size municipalities with several stakeholders. Local housing options are studied with attention to the user empowerment. Master level students in architecture will do their thesis in ten of the municipalities. The result of the project is a vision and a new model of elderly housing. The model will adapt to different size municipalities and will promote efficient use of existing infrastructure. It takes into account future resources and trends developed together with the stakeholders. The physical, psychological and social rehabilitation of the resident is a key concept in the model. It will also address the financial sustainability. The results of the project will improve the knowledge base of housing for elderly people. The service block model will be situated in centre of the municipalities near services and public transportation. The project will enhance the social wellbeing and integration of elderly in the society. It will provide the municipalities tools to develop their planning and concrete building projects. It will have societal impact nationally.

Towards assessing the impact of circadian lighting in elderly housing from a holistic perspective

This article aims to understand patient wellbeing and satisfaction and to qualify the current guidelines for the application of art in hospitals. Employing anthropological methods, we focus on the interactional aspects of art in health interventions. A user-oriented study ranked 20 paintings, followed by an experiment using paintings in the dayroom of five medical wards. Fieldwork was done over a two-week period. During the first week, dayrooms were configured without the presence of art and in the second week were configured with the artworks. Semi-structured interviews, observation, participant observation and informal conversation were carried out and were informed by thermal cameras, which monitored the usage, patient occupation and flow in two of the dayrooms. The study shows that art contributes to creating an environment and atmosphere where patients can feel safe, socialize, maintain a connection to the world outside the hospital and support their identity. We conclude that the presence of visual art in hospitals contributes to health outcomes by improving patient satisfaction as an extended form of health care. The article draws attention to further research perspectives and methods associated with the development of art in hospitals.

How do patients actually experience and use art in hospitals? The significance of interaction: a user-oriented experimental case study

This paper focuses on how smart technologies integrated in a one-family home, and particularly a window, offer unique challenges and opportunities for designing buildings with the best possible environments for people and nature. Toward an interdisciplinary and multidimensional approach, we address the interaction between daylight defined in technical terms and daylight defined in aesthetic, architectural terms. Through field tests of a Danish carbon-neutral home and an analysis of five key design parameters, we explore the contradictions and potentials in smart buildings, using the smart window as an example of how quality of life and technical advances are synthesized and when they contradict. We focus on the need to define quantitative and qualitative values and synthesize these in a multidimensional design approach, toward allowing the house to adapt to a changing climate, satisfy the human needs of the occupants, together with meeting calculated energy requirements. Thus, integrating windows as key design elements in energy-positive buildings addresses aesthetic as well as technical potentials. This integration of factors from different fields can both support and counterbalance one another in the design process. We maintain that a hybrid approach to the energy design is central. The study illuminates an approach of the design of smart houses as living organisms by connecting technology with the needs of the occupants with the power and beauty of daylight.

Interpretation of Simulations in Interactive VR Environments: Depth Perception in Cave and Panorama

The digital design tools used by architects and engineers today are very useful with respect to their specific fields of aesthetical or technical evaluation. It is not yet possible to fully use the potential of the computer in the design process, as there is no well functioning interplay between the two types of tools. This paper therefore looks at integration of the two types in a prototype for a tool which allows aesthetics evaluation, and at the same time gives the architect instant technical feedback on ideas already in the initial sketching phase. The aim of the research is to look into integrated digital design and analysis tools in order to find out if it is suited for use by architects and designers or only by specialists and technicians – and if not, then to look at what can be done to make them more available to architects and designers. The paper contains a case study of three possible approaches for working with digital tectonics by means of acoustics: The architects, the architect-engineer or hybrid practitioner and finally a prototype for a possible digital tectonic tool. For the third approach in the case study, a prototype digital tectonic tool is tested on the design proposal for the auditorium in the planned Utzon Centre in Aalborg, Denmark.
