Traumebevidst design for socialt udsatte børn og unge
Katja Terzics problemformulering er: Hvordan kan traumebevidst design i højere grad imødekomme behovene hos unge, der søger tilflugt fra vold i hjemmet? Hvordan kan et fokus på børn og unge i krise øge vores forståelse af støttende miljøer og af, hvordan traumer kan bearbejdes?
Undersøgelsen består af tre hovedfaser. Den første omfatter møder med relevante fag- og forskningsmiljøer: lektor Ceridwen Owen ved University of Tasmania og underviser Samantha Donnelly ved University of Technology Sydney samt Core Collective Architects med base i Hobart, Tasmanien.
Den næste fase består af feltbesøg på krisecentre og hos andre relevante aktører i Australien, hvor Katja vil gennemføre stedsanalyser, kortlægninger og indsamle kvalitative data om traumebevidst design udviklet sammen med og til unge.
Den sidste fase består i at besvare problemformuleringen og identificere potentialer og mangler i relation til dansk sundhedsdesign.
Katja planlægger at gennemføre sin undersøgelse fra juli til december 2024 i flere australske delstater, herunder New South Wales og Tasmanien, samt med mulige feltbesøg i Victoria og Queensland.

Study exchange in Sydney
I recently returned from a five month long study exchange at University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in Australia. During my time here, I conducted my individual project on trauma-informed design for children and young people (aged 12-18) living in crisis, originally developed during the Bevica Scholarship Program 2023-2024.
It was wonderful to finally meet with Samantha Donnelly, lecturer in the School of Interior Architecture at UTS, and Ceridwen Owen, Associate Professor in Architecture & Design & Founding Director of Core Collective Architects. They are currently working on developing trauma-informed design for Hobart Women’s Shelter (HBS) in Tasmania, with aim to deliver spaces which provide safety for women and children facing homelessness. Thanks to Ruby Finlen (Strategic Partnerships Manager HBS) and the rest of the team for taking time to meet me and show me around, even in the busiest time pre holiday season. When walking in the outdoor spaces, I was especially drawn to a stunning art piece made many years ago, notably, by local artists (first picture). I hope to one day be back and witness this integrated in the new trauma-informed spaces!
In Dr Endriana Audisho’s architecture class “Practice: Advocacy”, we were weekly introduced to (landscape) architects leading and working in different social and environmental advocacy-led practices in Australia. I was especially inspired by Rhiannon Brownbill (M. Arch) journey to designing with Country and her graduate thesis Burudi Gurad, Burudi Ora (Critical Spatial Relationalities of Care), which made me reflect on the role of First Nations Knowledge and worldview – to incorporate history, culture and community – when creating healing and supportive spaces.
A big win for merging project and exchange program together, was having the time to get to know the Australian culture and society. I want to thank Bevica Fonden, Havekulturfonden, Jubilæumsfondet ved SCIENCE KU & DREYERS FOND for making this project & exchange experience possible.
