在丹麦和欧洲，痴呆症患者的人数都在增加。我们正面临着一个福利挑战，随着全球老年人数量的增加，这一挑战将不断发展。那么，我们如何迎接挑战，创造建筑环境来适应我们目前看到的重大趋势，同时提供高效、舒缓、治疗的空间？
The number of people with dementia is on the rise in both Denmark and Europe. We are facing a welfare challenge that is going to develop, as the global number of elderly people increases. So how do we rise to the challenge and create built environments to accommodate the significant trends we are currently witnessing, while providing space for efficient, soothing, healing treatment?
NORD建筑事务所已经设计了几个老年痴呆症村，包括达克斯的老年痴呆症村，它是法国第一个老年痴呆症患者的护理院。NORD建筑事务所考虑到了住户个人、医护人员以及当地的文化和自然环境，因此，从亲属到研究人员，每个人都会体验到人们--包括痴呆症患者--生活在一个优先考虑有尊严的老年生活的环境中。
NORD Architects have designed several dementia villages, including the Alzheimer’s Village in Dax, which is the first care home in France for people with dementia. NORD Architects have taken into account the individual residents, the health care staff, and the local culture and nature, so everyone, from relatives to researchers, will experience people – including those with dementia – living in an environment that prioritises dignified aging.
可识别性创造了连续性和归属感。达克斯的阿尔茨海默病村旨在创造一个安全的环境，让居民、亲属和医护人员都得到一种幸福感，这也是提供合格护理的主要前提。
Recognisability creates continuity and a sense of belonging. Alzheimer’s Village in Dax is designed to create a safe environment, in which residents, relatives and health care professionals all get a feeling of well-being, which is also a major prerequisite for providing qualified care.
可识别的环境，没有疏远或阻碍的因素，对过上有意义的生活至关重要。阿尔茨海默氏症村将熟悉的功能整合在一起--杂货店、理发店、餐厅和市场广场--让人联想到居民以前在其社区的生活。
Recognisable surroundings, free from alienating or obstructive elements, are essential for leading a meaningful life. Alzheimer’s Village has integrated familiar functions within the complex – a grocer’s, a hairdresser’s, a restaurant and a market square – reminiscent of the residents’ previous lives in their neighbourhoods.
建筑师Morten Gregersen是NORD建筑事务所的合伙人，他对日常生活和建筑中的可识别性的需求描述如下。"对于阿尔茨海默氏症或痴呆症患者来说，环境的可识别性是至关重要的。它不能让人觉得有挑战，也不能干扰他们的认知能力。这就是为什么这个建筑也有明确的当地感觉，具有当地建筑风格的元素。建筑环境提供了一种文化延伸，缓解了从住在家里到住在阿尔茨海默氏症中心的严重精神疾病的过渡。"
Morten Gregersen, architect, and partner of NORD Architects, describes the need for recognisability in everyday life and architecture, as follows: “For people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, it is crucial that the environment is recognisable. It mustn’t feel challenging or disturb their cognitive abilities. That’s why this architecture also has an explicitly local feel, featuring elements from the local building style. The built environment provides a kind of cultural extension that alleviates the transition from living at home to living with a severe mental illness in an Alzheimer’s centre.”
社会互动和娱乐性质。当涉及到将阿尔茨海默氏症村融入当地环境并增强不同生活模式的连续性和凝聚力时，跨代、跨机构和跨城镇的日常联系至关重要。
阿尔茨海默氏症村的建筑迎合了社区和个人的需求，为每个居民提供了令人放心和多样化的选择。
Social interactions and recreational nature. The everyday connections, across generations, institutions, and the town, are essential when it comes to integrating the Alzheimer’s Village into the local environment and enhancing the sense of continuity and cohesion across different life patterns.
The architecture of Alzheimer’s Village caters to the needs of both communities and individuals, providing each resident with options that are reassuring and diverse.
该建筑群与自然融为一体，将现有的具有特色的古松树景观改造成一个休闲空间，居民可以在该区域内放松或去散步。一条小路贯穿整个景观，自成环形，因此居民不会遇到死胡同，也不会在路上迷路。
The complex is integrated with nature, transforming the existing landscape with its characteristic ancient pine trees to a recreational space, where residents can relax or go for a walk within the area. A path runs through the landscape, drawing its own loop, so none of the residents will experience dead ends or get lost along the way.
该建筑群分为四个组团，每个组团容纳约30名居民，他们生活在较小的 "家庭 "中，拥有所有必要的设施和户外空间。
The complex is grouped into four clusters, each housing around 30 residents who live in smaller ‘families’ with all the necessary facilities and outdoor spaces.
