BALANCED
PSYCH.RAUM shares a vision of humanising vital mental health care institutions by striking a balance between familiarity and complexity in design, aiming to provide orientation, character, and welcoming atmospheres. We invite healthcare professionals, administrators and experienced patients into the design process – and designers into the healing process – in a joint consensus-seeking and co-educative approach.
CONSENSUS
PSYCH.RAUM bases its work on consensus-seeking workshops to enable diverse stakeholder groups to develop common understandings around the core concepts in the specific context of each project. We prioritise the unique characteristics of psychiatric space, addressing issues such as safety in recognition of differing therapeutic concepts in order to enable and maintain interdisciplinary dialog throughout project phases.
METHODS
PSYCH.RAUM offers proven consensus design methods to create finely tuned, integrated environments that can revitalize existing critical social infrastructures or help create important landmarks for new projects. We invite healthcare professionals, administrators, and experienced patients into the design process – and designers into the healing process – in a collaborative consensus-based and co-educational approach.
