Task
A modern hospice is a facility for end-of-life care, influenced by the ideas of the hospice movement around Cicely Saunders. Many elderly or terminally ill people are dependent on help in this borderline situation. A hospice does not offer a cure, but care and nursing. A hospice is often pragmatically attached to a clinic. But actually, not only social, psychological and spiritual care should take place here. In this draft, a hospice is to be designed in the middle of Darmstadt. New ways of designing a place for living and dying are to be tested. How must the structure of the house be designed so that the residents can participate in the life of the city and at the same time create a protective space? What kind of spaces are needed to accompany the dying with relatives and pastors? How should spaces be designed in which people spend the last days of their lives?
The organisation takes place via the digital learning platform Moodle
