为痴呆症设计。由于痴呆症影响着全球越来越多的人口,建筑和空间设计有必要解决它所引起的问题,以便为痴呆症患者提供一个舒适的环境。

Designing for dementia. As dementia affects an increasing proportion of the global population, it is necessary for architecture and spatial design to address the issues it raises in order to provide a comfortable environment for those living with it.

痴呆症患者面临的最重要的挑战是由记忆丧失引起的时间、空间和身份上的混乱。应对或缓解这种联系丧失的方法之一是加强与物体、常规和空间的现有关系。创造 “小世界”,以个人的方式组织起来,使其更容易谈判空间,建立一个可识别的个人环境是帮助人们应对的根本:这些小世界足够 “狭窄”,提供一个安全、平静的空间,具有个人意义并反映个人身份。在这方面,”家 “的概念成为一个参考点,并提供了一个受保护的地方,从那里向外面的世界冒险。

The single most significant challenge facing people living with dementia is the disorientation in time, space, and identity caused by memory loss. One way to counter or mitigate this loss of connection is to reinforce existing relationships with objects, routines, and spaces. Creating ‘small worlds’, organized in a personal way makes it easier to negotiate space, and establishing a recognizable personal setting is fundamental in helping people cope: these small worlds are ‘narrow’ enough to provide a safe, calming space that is personally meaningful and reflects individual identity. In this respect, the notion of ‘home’ becomes a point of reference and offers a protected place from which to venture out into the outside world.

Pilootproject Zorg(隐形护理试点项目)。佛兰德政府建筑师(Vlaams Bouwmeester)和佛兰德福利部长在2012年向护理机构发出了建设创新医疗基础设施的呼吁。通过竞争选出了五个跨学科的设计团队来设计未来的护理模式,这些模式在2014年开始实施。Jan Vermeulen工作室、Tom Thys Architecten和Sergison Bates建筑事务所的团队被任命为Kortrijk的Vzw De Korenbloem的项目。

Pilootproject Zorg (Pilot Projects for Invisible Care.) The Flemish Government Architect (Vlaams Bouwmeester) and the Flemish Minister for Welfare launched a call to care providers in 2012 for the construction of innovative healthcare infrastructure. Five interdisciplinary design teams were selected through competition to design the care models of the future, which started being implemented in 2014. The team of Studio Jan Vermeulen, Tom Thys Architecten en Sergison Bates Architects was appointed to the project for Vzw De Korenbloem in Kortrijk.

人口预测显示,到2050年,佛兰德斯的人口将增长120万,其中80万新增公民将是65岁及以上的人。这意味着65岁以上的人在总人口中的比例将达到28%,而现在只有18%。因此,任务是建造30万套额外的住宅,特别关注老年人的需求。De Korenbloem护理园区是这些试点项目之一,为需要护理的人探索新的集体生活模式,支持他们的战略,使他们能够尽可能长时间地独立生活,以及将这些新集体融入现有社区的方法。

Demographic forecasts show that the population of Flanders will grow by 1.2 million by 2050 and that 800,000 of these additional citizens will be aged 65 and over. This means that the proportion of over 65s in the overall population will be 28%, compared to 18% today. The task is therefore to build 300,000 extra dwellings focusing specifically on the needs of older people. De Korenbloem care campus is one of these pilot projects that explore new models of collective living for those who need care, strategies for supporting them so they can live independently for as long as possible, and ways of integrating these new collectives within existing neighborhoods.

与该团队共同制定的总体规划,将90个新的住宅单元和额外的福利和邻里服务组织在两个新的和现有的建筑群中,设置在美丽的公园式景观中。这些设施满足了患有早发性痴呆症的年轻人、与中风有关的残疾人和身体症状障碍者的具体需求。日间护理设施是在场地内现有的两座历史性别墅中提供的,并与新的住宅建筑相连,同时面向街道和公园。Jan Vermeulen工作室与Tom Thys Architecten合作,开发了公园内Landhuis别墅周围的建筑群,而Sergison Bates建筑事务所则设计了教堂附近Portiek别墅周围的项目。

The master plan, developed together with the team, organized ninety new residential units and additional welfare and neighborhood services within two ensembles of new and existing buildings set in the beautiful park-like landscape. The facilities address the specific needs of young people with early-onset dementia, people with stroke-related disabilities, and somatic symptom disorders. Day-care facilities are provided in the two existing historic villas on the site and linked with new residential buildings addressing both the street and the park. Studio Jan Vermeulen, in collaboration with Tom Thys Architecten, developed the ensemble around the Villa Landhuis in the park, while Sergison Bates Architects designed the project around Villa Portiek near the church.

小规模的生活。基于De Korenbloem创建一个加强与当地社区关系的护理网络的雄心壮志,制定了一个总体规划,将现有瓦解的建筑改造成具有自己特色的集群。缓解痴呆症进展的一个重要方法是加强他们与物体、常规和周围环境的关系,这个过程可以通过将他们以前的环境缩减为 “小世界 “来实现。因此,该项目将较小的规模和生活的亲密性与护理基础设施的日常运作中至关重要的效率相结合。总的来说,这个建筑群创造了一个小规模的生活区网络,允许居民在一个受控和保护的环境中自由活动。
Landhuis别墅。Landhuis别墅矗立在公园中央的一个稍高的位置,由Bruneel de Montpelier于1860年设计的新古典主义帝国风格,在总体规划和新项目中占据了核心地位。在其一生中,该别墅已经被加盖、扩建、改造和拆除了无数次。在这个伤痕累累的别墅内,团队重新发现了曾经是贵族家庭生活背景的宽敞房间。根据帕拉迪奥的思想,房间之间的关系沿着别墅的两条主轴得到了加强,并向周围的景观和花园开放。主要通道被重新组织,并增加了小型基础设施元素,以使别墅适应日间护理中心的需要。不同大小和气氛的相互连接的房间的组织,就像一个 “小世界 “的星座,现在为其脆弱的居民提供了一个紧凑但慷慨的家庭环境。

Small-scaled living. Based on the ambition of De Korenbloem to create a care network that enforces the relationship with the local neighborhood, a master plan was developed to transform the existing disintegrated buildings into clusters with their own identity. A vital method to ease the progress of dementia is to reinforce their relationship with objects, routines, and their surroundings, a process that can be achieved by reducing their former environment into ‘smaller worlds’. Therefore, the project combines the smaller scale and intimacy of living with the efficiency that is vital within the daily operation of care infrastructure. Altogether, the ensemble of buildings creates a network of small-scale living areas, allowing its residents to move freely within a controlled and protective environment.
Villa Landhuis. Standing on a slightly elevated position in the middle of the park, Villa Landhuis, designed by Bruneel de Montpelier in 1860 in neo-classical empire style, takes a central role in the master plan and the new project. Throughout its life, the villa has been topped up, extended, adapted, and stripped numerous times. Within the scarred villa the team rediscovered generous rooms that were once the background of aristocratic family life. In line with Palladian thinking, relations between rooms were reinforced along the two main axes of the villa and opened towards the surrounding landscape and gardens. The main circulation was reorganized, and small infrastructural elements were added to adapt the villa to the needs of a daycare center. The organization of interconnected rooms of various sizes and atmospheres, like a constellation of ‘small worlds’, now provides a compact but generous domestic setting for its vulnerable residents.

新建筑。新的三层建筑由四个阶梯式体量组成,与别墅的规模相似,介于街道、别墅和公园之间。该项目在街道和公园之间构筑了一条新的路线,这样做是为了向邻里开放护理园区的中心。它的阶梯式配置在建筑周边创造了不同性质的小型社会空间。建筑物靠近现有的别墅,其古典的垂直秩序激发了立面的设计,它借用了古典 “花园结构 “的元素,如阳台、凉棚、雨篷和花园房间,在住宅的隐私和城市景观之间创造一个新的中间尺度。混凝土水平弦线在建筑周边的深度不同,在入口处和居民的露台上创造出天幕。纤细的混凝土柱子,经过酸洗,显示出白色骨料和黑色沙子的水磨石效果,沿着通往公园的新路线创造出有节奏的外墙。随着时间的推移,专门选择的植物将在结构上找到它们的方式,以创造一个茂盛的绿色框架。与别墅中精心制作和衔接的灰泥细节相呼应,新建筑的窗户是有框架的,墙壁用灰泥装饰,具有精细的垂直动机,使其具有深度。

New building. The new three-story building consists of four stepped volumes, similar in scale to the villa, that mediate between the street, the villa, and the park. The project frames a new route between the street and the park and in doing so opens the heart of the care campus to the neighborhood. Its stepped configuration creates smaller social spaces of different characters around the perimeter of the building. The buildings’ proximity to the existing villa with its classical vertical order inspired the design of the façade, which borrows elements from classical ‘garden structures’ such as balconies, pergolas, canopies, and garden rooms to create a new intermediate scale between the privacy of the residence and the urban landscape. Concrete horizontal stringcourses vary in depth around the perimeter of the building to create canopies above entrances and terraces for the residents. Slender concrete columns, acid edged to reveal the white aggregate and black sand in a terrazzo-like effect, create a rhythmic façade along the new route to the park. Over time specifically chosen plants will find their way up the structure to create a luscious green frame. Echoing the crafted and articulated plaster details of the villa, windows in the new building are framed and walls are finished in stucco with a fine vertical motive to give it depth.
