EMOTIONAL SURFACE - 2023

Collaborator
Kolding Kommune


University Project

This project focuses on designing surfaces and atmospheres for a new care home for people with severe dementia. A Surface Library has been developed with samples exploring various atmospheres and needs for residents, accompanied by a booklet detailing the method used.

Workshops with clients and collaborators provided insights into dementia care, leading to the creation of twenty surface concepts based on key findings: object permanence, need for stimuli, nature feeling, identity, and visual orientation. Four of these concepts were materialized for testing and discussion.

The Surface Library and Generate Grid turn conversations into physical surfaces, setting boundaries for idea generation and facilitating meaningful dialogue. This framework condenses complex information into actionable insights, aiding in the realization of the care home's project.
