Abstract

I will point out the important role of a thorough planning process in which all stakeholders work together starting in early phases of the design process („phase 0“) and engage in a truly interdisciplinary and iterative process throughout the entire planning phase as well as the building phase (where often ad hoc decisions have to be made in order to adjust to unforeseen circumstances).

I will examine the terms "Consensus Design" and "Evidence-Based Design" and relate them to lived reality by giving a number of examples from own experience. Here I will contrast different approaches in carrying out the planning process and demonstrate how only a truly interdisciplinary and iterative process can result in individualised and optimised therapeutic environments, strengthen identity and reduce stigmatisation.

As a support to future projects which workshop participants may be involved in, I will share some of the basic methods and tools which I have seen or used to help build and maintain this type of collaborative conversations throughout project phases.
