Nur ein kleiner Teil der Bevölkerung ist zwingend auf Barrierefreiheit angewiesen, aber sie wird von vielen als grundlegende Hilfe im Alltag benötigt. Wichtig ist deshalb eine gebaute Umgebung ohne Hindernisse, in der sich alle Menschen möglichst sicher und ohne Hilfe bewegen und orientieren können. Die Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen von Menschen mit Einschränkungen, aber auch von Kindern bilden daher eine wesentliche Planungsgrundlage, die es vor allem bei öffentlichen Bauvorhaben, aber auch im Wohnungsbau zu beachten gilt. Basics Barrierefrei Planen veranschaulicht diese besonderen Anforderungen und zeigt Möglichkeiten der barrierefreien Konzeption von Räumen und Gebäuden. Die Zusammenhänge sind wie in der Reihe üblich einfach erklärt und dabei praxisnah dargestellt.

Only a small proportion of the population fully relies on barrier freedom, but many people consider it an essential aid in everyday situations. It is therefore important to create a built environment without obstacles in which all people can move and orientate themselves as safely as possible and without help. For this reason, the needs and requirements of people with disabilities – but also of children – are important considerations in the design of buildings, in particular public and residential buildings. Basics Barrier-free Planning illustrates these special requirements as well as options for the design of barrier-free spaces and buildings. In line with all volumes in the series, everything is explained straightforwardly, including practical examples.

Die Zukunft sieht alt aus. Wir stehen vor dem größten demographischen Wandel der Moderne, am Beginn des Zeitalters der Senioren. Was erwartet uns, welche Produkte, welche Häuser? Denn die Generation 50+ birgt ein riesiges Potential: Allein in Deutschland verfügen 20 Millionen ältere Menschen über Hunderte von Milliarden Euro, die sie allerdings kaum ausgegeben, weil es keine passenden Produkte gibt. Das Buch gibt aus soziologischer und gestalterischer Perspektive Antworten für Architekten, Designer, Entscheider und Firmen, die sich auf die disparate und anspruchsvolle Zielgruppe einstellen möchten. Es untersucht die Lebensbereiche der Alten – von Kopf bis Fuß – und liefert sowohl Fachbeiträge als auch authentische Fallbeispiele und Reportagen. In einem attraktiven Layout, durchgehend illustriert und mit pointiert verfassten Texten, richtet es sich nicht zuletzt an die Silver Ager selbst, die sich informieren möchten, welche Hilfen Architektur und Design bereithalten, um ihr Leben möglichst unabhängig und angenehm zu gestalten.

The future is looking old. We are currently at the threshold of the largest demographic transformation of modern times, the advent of the age of the senior citizen. What awaits us – what kinds of products, what kinds of houses? The fifty-and-over generation represents an enormous potential: in Germany alone, twenty million seniors have hundreds of billions of euros, but they hardly spend them for lack of suitable products. This book provides answers from a sociological and design perspective for architects, designers, decision-makers, and firms who wish to respond to the demands of this diverse and discriminating target group. It investigates the various aspects of senior citizens’ lives from tip to toe and offers technical articles as well as authentic case studies and reports. Attractively laid out, fully illustrated, and with pointedly written texts, it is also aimed at the silver agers themselves, especially those who would like to find out what architecture and design can do to make their lives as pleasant and independent as possible.

Das Patientenzimmer ist die kleinste Zelle des Organismus Krankenhaus. Sein Aufbau bestimmt die Struktur der Bettenstation und ist somit ein maßgeblicher Faktor für das gesamte Gebäude. Viele Anforderungen sind zu erfüllen. Das Wohlbefinden des Patienten lässt sich durch die Gestaltung positiv beeinflussen: wohnliche Materialien, der Blick nach draußen und eine gewisse Privatsphäre sind hier wichtige Aspekte. Ebenso wichtig sind die Arbeitsbedingungen für das Personal, insbesondere kurze Wege und effiziente Pflegehandgriffe. Zuletzt kann sogar das Infektionsrisiko durch eine intelligente Grundrissanordnung gesenkt werden. Das breit angelegte Fachbuch gibt einen systematischen Überblick über die Entwurfsaufgabe Patientenzimmer und zeigt vorbildliche Lösungen: sowohl idealtypisch wie auch im gebauten Beispiel.

The patient room is the smallest cell of the hospital organism. Its layout determines the structure of the ward and is therefore a decisive factor for the entire building. Many requirements have to be met. The patient's sense of well-being can be positively influenced by the design: homely materials, an attractive view and sufficient privacy are important objectives. Equally important are the working conditions for the staff, especially short distances and an efficient care routine. Finally, even the risk of infection can be reduced by a conscientiously planned room layout. This publication provides a systematic overview of the design task patient room and shows exemplary solutions: both typologically and in selected case studies.

Quality living in old age is one of the key topics of our time. Architecture and the building industry contribute innovative forms of living, intelligent concepts and individual solutions for people with physical or cognitive limitations. Integrative forms of housing and living emerge from sophisticated design solutions, transcending the boundaries between individual, collective and assisted forms of living. This updated new edition includes an additional introductory article on programming and six new and current international case studies in the chapter on integrated housing and neighbourhood concepts.

Interior architecture is the main factor in creating pleasant environments for in-patient healthcare. Whether in paediatric or geriatric wards, economic efficiency, patient well-being and staff satisfaction are increasingly the focus of treatment, healing and healthcare concepts around the world. Well-designed interior architecture concepts for patient rooms can benefit the patient’s process of recovery and, through its atmosphere and functionality, improve the quality of the hospital experience. This book explores the design of the patient room as a core part of healthcare environments. It describes the different design components, such as material, colour, light and surface finish, and addresses the needs of hygiene and the specific challenges presented by demographic change and digitisation, as well as workflow issues and economic efficiency. Fourteen international case studies illustrate these design principles.

Dementia presents immense challenges – both for individuals as well as for society as a whole. More than 35 million people all over the world currently live with dementia, a number that is expected to double by 2050. This also has implications for architecture and urban planning because dementia often affects people’s sense of orientation and their ability to perceive space. How can homes, apartments, public buildings, outdoor spaces, neighbourhoods and cities, as well as environments and infrastructure, be designed to meet the needs of people with dementia as well as those of their caregivers? And can a consideration of the problems of dementia lead to a better understanding of space that can improve architecture and the built environment for us all? This book addresses these and other questions in a series of professional essays that examine the specific requirements for different disciplines. In addition, international case study projects illustrate the breadth of current actual solutions. The book is intended as a guide for all those involved in the design and planning process – architects, interior designers, engineers, town planners, local authorities and clients – and as a reader for the users themselves: for people with dementia, their family and friends, and all those in their social environment.

Das Krankenhaus unterlag als Bautyp in den letzten Jahren gro&#223;en Ver&#228;nderungen: Der Wandel im Gesundheitswesen, die evidenzbasierte Medizin sowie Fragen der Gesundheits&#246;konomie (wie die B&#252;ndelung bestimmter Verfahren in Fachkliniken) stellen neue Anforderungen an die Planung. Private Gesundheitseinrichtungen treiben den Paradigmenwechsel vom funktionalen Technikbauwerk zum design-affinen Gesundheitsbau mit Hotelcharakter voran. Dieses Buch stellt in einem breiten systematischen Teil die Voraussetzungen f&#252;r Entwurf und Planung von Krankenh&#228;usern dar. Der Beispielteil dokumentiert in sechs Kategorien &#8211; Allgemeinkrankenh&#228;user, Kinderkliniken, Universit&#228;tskliniken, Fachkrankenh&#228;user, Ambulanzen und Polikliniken sowie Reha- und Nachsorgeeinrichtungen &#8211; ca. 40 internationale Projekte.

Hospitals as a building type have undergone a substantial evolution in the past years. Changes in healthcare, the impact of evidence-based medicine and aspects of healthcare economics (such as the clustering of diagnostic procedures in specialized clinics) pose new and different challenges for the designer. Private healthcare facilities herald the paradigm change from the large functional building complex to a design-conscious health institution with luxury hotel features. Health centers more devoted to prevention rather than cure have been another important trend. This publication explains the principles and requirements for the planning of hospitals and other health facilities. An international case study section documents 40 best-practice projects in six categories: general hospitals, children&#8217;s hospitals, specialized clinics, outpatient clinics and health centers as well as rehabilitation clinics.
