Indretningen af varmestuen omfavner de udsatte

Industrial Design / Design for Play / MA

Indretningen af varmestuen omfavner de udsatte
Leg og æstetik er ikke det, man forbinder med socialt udsatte borgeres kaotiske liv på en varmestue. Alligevel har Sofie Casparsen indtænkt legen og inklusionen i sit design af et opholdsrum for Kirkens Korshær og Varmestuen Fedtekælderen. Hun undersøger, om indretningen kan virke terapeutisk, eksempelvis i form af en rummelig bænk for to liggende mennesker som modsvar til kommunernes ’dark design’ der ekskluderer hjemløse.

Shelter design embraces the most vulnerable citizens
Play and aesthetic qualities are not the most common elements associated with the chaotic life of socially marginalized people at a day-time shelter. Nevertheless, Sofie Casparsen has incorporated playfulness and inclusion in her design of a shelter for Kirkens Korshær (DanChurchSocial) and Varmestuen Fedtekælderen (Bread and Dripping Basement). She explores how design may have a therapeutic effect, for example in the form of an ample bench for two people lying down, in a reaction to public ‘dark design’, which excludes homeless people.
