- The original AIDAH environment intends to generate cross-disciplinary research and implementation projects for a sustainable built environment that confront three major challenges. (1) Increasingly diverse demands on the housing market call for flexibility and adaptability in resilient ways. (2) An ageing society requires new residential models that combine dignity and appropriate care but also provide good working environments for personnel. (3) Profound changes in technical conditions for caring and medical treatment necessitate rethinking traditional healthcare situations, developing new situations ranging from complex care in residence to intensive care units in hospital and patient hotels. Sustainability issues at stake in patterns of residential behaviour must be considered to have paramount importance in any strategy for a resilient urban future. The involved teams provide different and complementary perspectives focusing on the common notion of quality of residence considered in architectural, spatial and experiential properties of built environments for housing and healthcare contexts. The applied conceptual and theoretical framework focuses on architectural and caring innovations for reconfigured spatial situations that enhance sustainable caring, and improve health, welfare, and living quality. Our research effort will focus on identifying and characterizing strategies directed towards the integration of different ways of residing. The scientific integration in conceptual and methodological terms between architecture qualitative research, sociology of residence, and caring sciences is intended to bridge gaps and initiate cross disciplinary approaches. Objectives include identifying and articulating new resilient qualities in designs supporting care processes and healing environments, thereby providing new operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with diverse stakeholders. International exchanges will provide further strategic evidence-based design support for decision makers in planning, building and healthcare services. The cross-disciplinary teams of researchers from architectural design, social and caring sciences are based at the Centre for Healthcare Architecture and the CIB W069 Residential Studies, both hosted by Chalmers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Whilst home healthcare services for an aging population currently living in ordinary housing are increasingly needed, physical environments do not adequately meet current levels of demand for such services. The present study protocol, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods, was developed in order to explore the impact of architectural design on enablers and barriers in the delivery of home healthcare services. An interdisciplinary research team, drawn from the fields of architecture, healthcare, and occupational sciences, will execute the forthcoming study. This study protocol describes the design of that study, which will explore the relation between residential design and the conditions for care in ordinary housing.

Enablers and Barriers in the Physical Environment of Care for Older People in Ordinary Housing: A Scoping Review

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Our aim was to explore enablers and barriers in ordinary housing for older people in care. We systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for relevant published research and gray material. The search resulted in a final sample of eight publications, four of which focused on accessibility for older people with dementia. Thematic analysis resulted in two themes: safety and accessibility. Future studies should focus on modifications to ordinary housing to achieve safe and comfortable environments for people who want to age in place and those who provide them with care.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Home- and healthcare is increasing among older persons, but today's homes are not designed for this services, also the personal privacy is important. The aim of this study has specific focus on obstacles and opportunities when home- and healthcare is performed in home environ-ments. Different research approaches and methods will be combined in order to enhance the un-derstanding of how home- and healthcare in ordinary housings for older persons could be sup-ported by architectural design. The study is basically of a qualitative character, although one part of the empirical material is quantitative, namely the layouts of the housings. The study will be conducted by an interdisciplinary research team involving architecture, health-care and occupa-tional science. This study will provide important knowledge on healthcare architecture as related to staff working in older persons private homes in ordinary housing.
