Background
The designer has come to the conclusion that Aalborg University Hospital's Children and Adolescent Department is in need of a place for young patients to hang out.
A spatial installation for adolescent patients
Like other hospitals, AUH ought to do something special for adolescents, who are easily considered part of a "childish" children's department. Through interviews, observations, and workshops with young patients she realized that they miss a place to be with other adolescents in similar situations. The solution is a spatial installation, devoid of the clinical hospital expression, but with a playful atmosphere that motivates young people to get together with their peers.
