LooS: co-producing youth mental healthcare
No full textThe increasing waiting times in youth mental health care pose a significant challenge, driven by a shortage of specialists and external factors that complicate diagnosis and prolong treatment. Shoshin, a multidisciplinary strategic design and innovation agency, has developed a solution known as the Fit Op Weg Poli (FOWP) to address this issue for adult care at GGZ Delfland. This thesis aims to engage youth healthcare providers in the development of a youth FOWP.To tackle the design challenge, the double diamond method is applied, involving extensive research and collaborative sessions. This process led to the development of LooS, a co-production framework tailored for young individuals aged between twelve and twenty-seven years old. Co-production for LooS leads to improved service delivery and increased efficiency, aiming to transform youth mental health care.LooS incorporates several crucial elements to support youth mental health. An easily accessible well-being gym is provided, empowering young individuals to enhance their resilience and overall well-being. A walk-in centre offers a safe and non-judgmental space for peer interaction and support. The intake process involves a comprehensive assessment, and each young person is assigned a dedicated buddy who provides support throughout their recovery journey. Welcome packages are provided to manage expectations and offer essential resources, including e-health tools and information about the recovery process.Recovery is facilitated through group sessions with a recovery coach, accompanied by the use of e-health tools for progress monitoring and exercises for continued growth. LooS aims to transition 20-30% of clients to a stage where therapy is no longer required, while those who still need therapy will receive specialised group therapy, after recovery.In the case of a crisis, the program can be scaled up swiftly to provide immediate support. After a crisis, diagnosis-specific therapy will always be provided, and the recovery coach ensures continued aftercare. The aftercare is structured in layers, offering self-testing and a safety net for a smooth transition. Once individuals no longer require aftercare, they bid farewell to their buddy and continue working on their mental resilience in the well-being gym.LooS is designed to be adaptable for implementation in multiple centres/locations across The Netherlands, allowing for widespread access to youth mental health care. To support open discussions with healthcare providers, a visual aid called the “Praatplaat” and a brochure have been created. These tools highlight the impact of LooS on the care pathway and waiting times to enable engagement among healthcare providers to co-produce their own LooS centres. A comprehensive blueprint has been developed, providing a clear and structured guide for the co-development process of Shosin with healthcare providers.In conclusion, LooS is a new approach to youth mental health care, focusing on proactive work on mental resilience, accessible support services, and collaborative engagement. By implementing LooS, the aim is to transform the youth mental health care system, reduce waiting times, and provide holistic care for youth. LooS offers a path towards improved outcomes and well-being, ultimately creating a brighter future for the youth of The Netherlands.Strategic Product Desig
L'attualità dei maestri. Schinkel dann Loos und Mies.
No full textLa lezione di Benedetto Gravagnuolo su Adolf Loos è stata importante per varie ragioni che attengono non solo all???architettura, alla disciplina ma anche all???amicizia e alla stima personale. La sua ???naturale eleganza??? come ha scritto Antonio Monestiroli ma anche la profondità della sua riflessione critica che, come sempre più raramente accade, diventa per noi tutti, senza sforzo, un prezioso materiale di condivisione nella ricerca sul progetto. Una condivisione che parte dal costante chiarimento delle idee, dei pensieri e delle opere che sostanziano quest???antico mestiere. La sua lectio, purtroppo per noi l???ultima, che nestorianamente ritorna al suo primo importante lavoro che allora lo fece riconoscere in tutto il mondo come uno dei più promettenti storici dell???architettura, ci sollecita ancora una volta a tornare a riflettere sull???eredità dei maestri come condizione imprescindibile del nostro operare. Un???eredità sempre difficile quella "donata" dal maestro: sempre in bilico da un lato tra una ossequiosa e sterile prosecuzione del suo magistero e dall???altro in una precaria e presuntuosa contrapposizione che in definitiva non sa fare tesoro del suo insegnamento. Un insegnamento che innanzitutto è sul metodo, sul modo di ???stare al mondo??? e di guardare alla realtà e, nel progetto, che sappia trovare le ragioni delle forme, il come, il punto di vista da assumere e non le forme stesse, i linguaggi o gli etimi
Measurability of Loos' rejection of the ornament - Using box-counting as a method for analysing facades
No full textAs evidence from recent years has demonstrated, box-counting provides an objective fractal analytical method to evaluate the visual complexity of architecture. This paper for the first time explores the potential of box-counting with regard to the work of the Viennese architect Adolf Loos (1870-1933). Loos is seen as the pioneer of modern architecture, as someone who anticipated the International Style. This impression derives from his resentments towards the ornament, expressed especially in his texts. However, Loos did not reject ornamentation in general. Thus, the group of smooth plastered facades provides a narrowed view on his overall architectural concept. A more differentiated view on Loos' oeuvre is not new; however, the author further develops the possibilities of describing facades geometrically by using an implementation of the fractal analytical method, especially created for facades. This paper not only focuses on the possibility of grouping facades with similar characteristic values, but considers other aspects of Loos' design such as space as well
Wittgenstein et Loos: le souci de la correction et la dégradation du style", in Implications philosophiques, dossier
No full textNational audience"Si l'on esquisse un bilan de ce qui a été dit des rapports entre Wittgenstein et Loos, on s'aperçoit que trois grandes perspectives ont été adoptées. La première est l'étude du contexte viennois dans lequel Wittgenstein a grandi et dont Loos était une figure importante. B. McGuiness , R. Monk ou encore C. Chauviré ont montré, dans leur biographie respective, quels ont été les liens de Wittgenstein avec Loos, leur parenté intellectuelle et notamment leur admiration pour Kraus...
