Helsingør Hospital : Architecture, Denmark, Europe

PROJECT: PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL LOCATION HELSINGØR, DENMARK SIZE: 6000 M2 STATUS: COMPETITION 1ST PRIZE, COMPLETION 2006 BUDGET: 80 000 000 DKK. CLIENT: FREDERIKSBORG COUNTY, HELSINGØR HOSPITAL COLLABORATORS: PLOT, BIG Psychiatric Hospital As the base of design we interviewed patients, personel and relatives related to the psychiatric hospital. No truth emerged, but a series of paradoxes became evident. The PSY needs to combine the efficiency of a central organisation with the freedom and autonomy of a decentralized complex. It needs to allow control and protection while maintaining a free and open atmosphere. In terms of function the PSY is a logistically optimized hospital and in terms of experience it is all but a hospital.
