2nd Prize

Body as a House – Space, Experience and Mind in the Transformation of Trauma

Author: Ajdin Vukovic

Description 

In order to create different design agendas towards trauma-informed design, various disciplines, such as artistic embodiment, multi-sensory experience, innovative psychological treatment methods, and neuroscientific knowledge generate different design responses. Those exemplary responses are incorporated on a design task of a therapy quarter at a site by the Donaukanal in Vienna, Austria. Ultimately, mental health and the public life intersect on such an urban spot. This gives the project an opportunity to explore the interrelations between the informal trauma-informed design of public spaces and the specific configuration of novel embodied psychotherapy typologies.




Jury statement:

The idea of a public urban space that draws attention to the topic of trauma therapy and mental health and is generally accessible is rated positively by the jury and considered to be a highly relevant topic. 

An innovative idea has been consistently implemented here in architecturally interesting spatial situations, and also graphically well presented.
