REFLECTIVE ILLUSTRATED REPORT

Throughout the year, I had a lot of opportunities in learning a disease called dementia. Since my grandparent is struggling with this disease, I have a basic knowledge of how this disease would affect the patient’s behaviour, mood, and physical activity. However, I never knew we as an architect could play a part to slow down the development of the illness. Under the benefit of medical care development, life expectancy is growing around the world. Research suggests that by 2030, there will be over 75 million dementia patients and this group of people requires to live in care homes. (Gaudet, 2015) In recent years, the building industry has raised its awareness of designing a dementia-friendly environment. One of the significant examples is the De Hogeweyk Dementia Village in the Netherlands. The facility has recreated a community inside the care home, with its supermarkets, salons, local fountain, and more. The village allows patients to walk freely around the site to keep them active. But at the same time, to help them to maintain their normal lifestyle in a secured area. The designers often consider every detail of the patients’ accessible areas and maximize the comfort of the users. During the year, we as a studio visited 2 dementia care homes in Newcastle. One of my impressions was the design of a bedroom door because there were a lot of thoughtful details. The door was painted in orange and it gives a contrast between the corridors. Also, there was a logo and a personal shelf to help patients to identify the location of their rooms. In safety-wise, there was a concealable window on top so that the nurse could observe the patients at night. Finally, the door was designed to be wider to allow bed evacuation in the emergency of fire. There are reasons for the designer to make every consideration and this concept fully influenced me in my final project. After the case studies and field trips, I have learned ways to help the patients through spatial qualities, circulation, and material considerations. I find it interesting in applying science to architectural design. The project has brought me a new perspective on designing health care facilities and they are learnings that I could apply to my future projects.

In semester two, the architecture school has introduced a professional practice module. The series of lectures have given us an idea of how the building industry works. We learned about the contract options for clients, working stages as an architectural firm, and the architect’s responsibility. In the writing of the report, I learned that there were different contractors’ plans based on the need of the client. As a health care project studio, I acknowledge that there is a scheme which is particularly designed for NHS client. This writing experience helps me to be prepared to pursue my career and learn the responsibilities of being an architect.

During semester one, the architecture school has introduced an engineering symposium week to stage 3 students.

The week provided an opportunity for us to communicate with designers who are working in the industry. We had seminars to meet workers from differently engineering backgrounds such as the structural consultant, inclusive and environmental strategy designer. The workshops have given me a starting point to design the plan of my building and also to apply environmental considerations in my project. For dementia projects, patients need to receive natural daylight and ventilation. It improves their wellbeing and feels secured when attaching with nature. (Eckhard,2009) Since some of the patients find it challenging to express themselves, it is also an architect’s role to design a good thermal comfort environment. To calculate the lux rate and wind speed of the area, we as a studio has learned to use software such as VELUX, ENVIMET, and IESVE. We learned to create analytical graphics and apply our findings to our designs. The data helped me to maximise the daylight experience of the users but also to avoid the risk of over glare.

Moreover, research suggests that staying outdoor is beneficial to patients. Therefore, its important to consider creating a micro-climate at the gardens. About the data, I have learned to adjust the thermal comfort by adding gardening features such as trees and bamboo walls. This technical knowledge has introduced to me as an architect to respond to climate change. Not only to raise my awareness of sustainability but to apply practical skills in designing a building.

Finally, one of the year projects is dissertation studies. The project starts by exploring an idea of marginal space and how our daily pattern is affecting the purpose of spaces. Our studio tutor had brought us to explore Newcastle and explain the reasons why some places are abandoned by the public. There is not a certain answer to explain the situation, but it has to lead us to think about the possibilities behind them. During the summer holiday, I thought of the changing pattern of tourism. Tourists visit places that the locals have never been before, and surprisingly these places are very popular on social media. I started to investigate this topic in-depth and tried to support my thinking with research. I tried to find a conclusion on how social media could turn a marginal space into a tourist hotspot. In the year 2020, technology has become the main part of our daily life. Especially under the pandemic, we all experience how the virtual world is the only way to stay connected with the rest of the world. Taken from the advantages of media, it is easier for us to entertain ourselves at home. However, this could lead to a greater gap between reality and the virtual world. In my essay, I mentioned about media bringing fantasy to space and filter put undesired information.

Because of that, we also take what we heard and see from the media to be the reality. We as architecture students have always been encouraging to travel and look at things from a different perspective. As a result, I also remind myself not only to take impressions from social media but to visit the places with first-hand sketch and photographs.

Before the start of semester one, the architecture school held an exhibition on exploring creative ideas on space and materials. Students are assgined into teams and work for a week long project. Due to personal reasons, Im not able to join the the working process. However, the collaborative show has inspired me to my future design work.

This group had created a streetscape with colourful cardboards and papers. Although the group had worked the models in an abstract way, visitors could understand the indication of different spaces. This project has suggested me ways to create experiment models in a tight time. But also to create an expressive model with different colour tones.

This group had created plaster boards with various mould. Giving an advantage of the properties of this material , it allow the team to create smooth art works that could show different texture of the objects. This technique had also influences in my primer work, where we have to create sensory touches to Dementia Patients.

To create a home away from home feeeling, we bring in familiar furnitures such as shelves, table, window frame, curtain, rug and music instrument to the pod. We made them in warm tone materials such as wood and beige colour wall paper.

In order to stimulate the patient's sensory experience, as a team wecreated a sensory pod with visual, sound, tactile and smell activities.

Our design concept is to create a room that brings back memories to the patients and provides a 'home away from home' enviornement.

In Semester One, the House of Memories Studio had visited Germany for a week. During this week, students had visited wide range of sustainable buildings in Berlin and Hamburg. The trip had given opportunities to students to learn the buildings design in depth with local tour guides and on-site workers. The following pages will show the highlights of the trip.

FIELD TRIP - BERLIN

Freie Universitat Berlin

Philharmonie Berlin One of my favourite part of the philharmonie is the tinted glass wall from its atrium. The colour shades over the entrance of the music hall and they create a welcoming enviornment to the visitors. It shows the dynamic of the space.

Nordic Embassies T h e c omb i n e d a mb a s s y of the northern europian countries display exhibitions of their history and ambition.

The building itself shows their preference in using sustainable design. The building relies on using natural light and avoid over glare with concealed wood panels.

Snapshots As a enviornmental friendly country, the city owns a lot of sustainable buildings that I could take reference to my future design project. The shots below are taken from the museuminsel and a building that located around the Reichtag building. The desingers apply skylights on the canopy and the atrium of the buidling. These design has also inspired me by adding skylights into the dementia project and it could increase the lux level of the interior space.

Berlin

The library is designed by Norman Foster in 2005 in a shape of brain. The building uses double facade and control the intake of natural light with controllable panels.

The skylights allow the students to recieve an appropriate amount of daylight without over glare.

Site Analysis - Newcastle Upon Tyne

STAGING

5 STAGING

The first process of designing our final project was through ‘staging’. At this stage, I made site analysis graphics that show the human activities and passive energy of the site. These analysis help me in designing intergenerational exchange activities with the surround community. Moreover, dementia patients enviornments require an appropriate amount of lux level and thermal comfort in space. These analysis helped me to design the form of the building and to locate the position of the outdoor gardens.

It is important for Dementia Patients to feel like they are part of the community. During the site analysis stage, I realised the site is situated in a multi-religious community. There were at least 9 religious building such as churches and masses around it. At the heart of this community, it is a an advanatage for dementia patients to engage with people from the same religious background as them. It is often beneficial for people who has long term disease to have faith and hope. It helps to heal the pain and the struggles that they face. (Sims, 2009) Therefore, I decided to build a multi-faith facility in the dementia villa.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is an illness that affects every fourth person who is over 65 years old. Research shows the average development of illness lasts around 10 years. Patients will first experience difficulty in managing their daily life issues. In some cases, they find it challenging to recall their short-term memory. At the early stage, patients could recognise their situation with their failure in meeting daily tasks. In the next stage, patients lose their ability to orientate themselves, they start to wander around and seek for their ‘home’. Then, patients are not able to identify objects and people including their family members.

At the late stage of dementia, patients lose their ability to socialise and to recognise themselves.

It is hard for patients to accept their illness and believe they are ill. The illness could affect them emotionally and cause a lack of confidence. Patients isolate themselves and refuse to build up connections with other people. Commonly, patients start to lose interest in life and build up conflict with family members.

However, the study proves that dementia could be delayed with cognitive therapies, medication, and interaction with different groups of people. To calm their negative thoughts and behavior, a secure and comfortable environment offers an opportunity for them to relax and enjoy the moment of life.

In the aspect of architecture, study advice architect should not only to design a peaceful environment for the elderly, but it is also equally important to design a lively environment that is creative and interactive with the public. (Eckhard, 2009)

To study the daylight of the residential pod design, I placed the sketchup model in velux. The software helps me to calculate the lux level of the rooms in different months. According to velux's website, an appropriate lux level of residential rooms would be around 200-500 lux.

Therefore, the study shows the bedroom designs has meet the standard and it could provide a good daylight experience to the patients.

1. Accessible ensuite toilets: All bedroom's toilets are accessible and the handrails are coloured in sharp colours that could help patients to identify them.

2. Coloured Doors: The bedroom doors are designed to be double doors. To meet fire regulations, they are designed to allow bed evacuation in an emergency of fire. Only of them are coloured so that it would not confuse the patients. Also, toilet doors are coloured as the same tone as the common area toilet.

Patients could build a habit in recognising green as a 'toilet door'.

3. Seating area and colour tones: Each of the bedroom wards include a seating area for their visitors. There are photo frames on wall for them to personalise their space. Also, the contrast between the floor and wall colour could avoid confusion to them. To provide a home feeling , the room uses wood to be the main material of the furnitures.

4. Bedroom View: Each of the bedroom will provide a window facing to the south. They allow patients to enjoy the natural scenary of their private garden from their bedrooms.

Initial concept At the beginning of the design stage, I tried to overlap the form of the nearby religjious buildings. I hoped to bring a message to the public that this building is a multi-faith hall and everyone are welcomed from the community. Also, I sketched ideas on bringing nature into the main element of the main building.

Dementia Friendly

The project aim is to deisgn an approximately 1500 sq.m. Dementia Care Centre for Dementia patients from Newcastle Upon Tyne. The complex will provide 8 bedrooms for dementia patients and include facilities such as kitchen, dinning area and multi- use space. The building is located at the heart of the green gardens and it provides rooms for both mentally and physically active activities. The building includes a public accessible multi-faith hall and it s aimed to provide more interaction between the public and the patients. Most importantly, the living enviornment will provides healthcare and wellbeing services that the patients need. This dementia care centre hopes to delay the of the patients' illness by 4 key elements, and they are 'Dementia-Fiendly, Nature, Spiritual and Enviornmental Friendly.'

Concept Development

Since I hoped to let nature to be the main feature of the building, I thought of the traditional Japanese architecture. Based on their Zen Philosophy, buildings are designed in the concept of simplicity, freeness and natureness. Dementia Patients tend to wander around spaces, and these feature could lead them to discover the beauty of each corner of the house.

Dementia patients often requires to receive an abundant of daylight and using penetrating sliding screens could avoid overglare. Also, these screens help to soften the sunlight shadow on the floor and it could avoid confusion to the patients.

Concept Development

REALISATION AND SYNTHESIS

Inspired by a Japanese architect called Junya Ishigami, I tried to draw the site with naturual elements like rivers and islands. Since dementia care centre has to be secured and locked, I hoped these nature elements could help to soften the barriers and not giving a feeling to the patients that they are being traped on site.

Japanese garden theme

98

Nature

After the final review, I have taken the opinion from my studio tutors and revised the works. In order to continue the theme of Japanese architecture, I have applied the concept into the sensory garden. I developed a detailed landscape design by adding plants and landscape features that typically appears in Japanese gardens. In the concept of Zen Philosophy, natural plants are placed in various zones so that the users could observe them and enjoy the beauty of the vegetation. Therefore, I tried to place them in scenes and provide observation points for the users. (further explaination in cultural bibliography chapter)

Window frames design One of the opinion is to create window frames that allow the building to look more appealing and welcoming. Other than the sliding screen cocnept, I decided to add this concept into the window frames. Since a public park is located beside of the east side of the building, I added sliding screen features to those windows. The opacity of glass could act as blinds but also to create a sense of provscy to the users.

Looking back to this cultural trip, I realised my design project is deeply influenced by the architectural features that I saw from the hotel. I have took reference from the garden design and interior scenary of the structure and I will explain further below.

The garden

Surrounded by the natural enviornment, the hotel allows visitors to observe the natural sceneray from indoor. There are sliding doors that opens up the edge of the house. Users could sit on the floor and overlook the running river. These features provides a place for the users to enjoy the calmess of the site while sitting indoor.

Nature

The hotel aimed to design a seasonal garden that could display the four seasons of Japan. In spring, there will be bloom of cherry blossoms, summer will be the deep green trees, autumn for the red maple trees and winter garden covered with pure white snow. There are reasons to plant these trees and it is a sign to remind people whats the time of the year. Moreover, they placed different garden features around and they make the garden extra delightful to stay.

sliding screens at the hotel room

The reception hall of the hotel owns a stage for performers to perform a show at night. During the day time, the stage acts as the display of the instruments.

The edge of the stage is distanced from the rest of the all with an indoor pond.
