visions4people

Visions4people is a pilot project of the weißensee academy of art berlin (khb) and the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Charité Campus Mitte (ccm) funded by the Senate Administration for Education, Youth and Science. The special needs and wishes of the users of the psychiatry clinic are the starting point of the project. These are explored in a field research carried out by our transdisciplinary team in a trialogical manner, equally considering the perspectives of patients, relatives and employees. The knowledge resulting from the fieldwork establishes the basis for artistic and creative transformations. The interventions create a milieu therapeutically valuable environment for the patients, relatives and employees and extend the range of possible healing processes. The spacial potential of the building complex is used constructively.

As an integrative process visions4people is example setting for comparable user-centered architectures.
