さやのもとクリニック
Sayanomoto Clinic
佐賀 / 診療所
Saga / Clinic
We were approached to design a mental health clinic in Saga City specializing in the treatment of patients with dementia. As in other towns and regions, Saga's aging population has created a greater need for healthcare for the elderly. Ordinarily, healthcare facilities are planned and constructed on the advice of medical professionals with the sole consideration of creating a space for efficient and safe treatment of patients.
In this clinic, however, a special "Learning" common space was created intended for patients living with dementia and their families.
This "Learning" space is not meant to directly treat the illness but rather to provide visitors with a starting point for facing the condition of dementia.
In addition to an outdoor garden designed to recreate the local scenery of rice fields and mountains using local flora, a 30 meter bookshelf was constructed containing pictorial books intended not so much to be "read" but rather to be "seen" and impart an impression on the reader.
By creating a common space where patients, staff and families can interact, we seek to connect people through "Learning."

ここでの「学び」とは、直接的に病気やケアに役に立つ事が得られることではなく、ここを訪れる人に対して、病気と向き合うための小さなきっかけづくりである。
かつては里山や畦道でふつうに見られた、地域に自生する在来植物を植栽した庭園や「読む」というより「見て感じる」ための写真集や絵本が愉しげに陳列された３０mある本棚によって、クリニックの待合いスペースを構成している。
付き添いで訪れる家族にとっても居場所になるようなクリニックは、「学ぶ」ことによって医療従事者と患者、その家族を結ぶ場となることを目指している。
