Dementia-friendly architecture encompasses a host of possibilities
that are particularly relevant in hospital design. Implemented in
an aesthetically pleasing and non-stigmatising manner, such
architecture can benefit anyone during a hospital stay: it produces
an environment that is easy to read, generates a sense of security,
and promotes well-being and recovery. This manual begins by
summarising the current state of research on architecture for
individuals with dementia in acute care hospitals. Based on their
years of experience in the field, authors Kathrin Buter and Gesine
Marquardt then present approaches to creating tailored solutions.
They outline general design principles while considering practical
examples, and cover key topics such as safety, atmosphere, and
orientation systems in detail. Every hospital building requires a
concept that dovetails the spatial, social, personal, cultural,
organisational, and financial frameworks. This guide is therefore a
concise and straightforward introduction for all stakeholders in
modern hospitals: from managers and developers to architects and
designers. It provides inspiration for creative and
interdisciplinary planning processes in an increasingly crucial
area of the health sector.
