Choreographing care and restraint: Managing acute distress in recovery-oriented psychiatric inpatient wards
Moving Beyond Clinical Imaginaries: Technogeographies of the Everyday Urban
In this paper, we analyse the intersections between care and place in mundane spaces not explicitly designed for the provision of care, and where digital technologies are used to mediate ecologies of distress in the city. We locate our analysis alongside studies of how digital technologies impact the experience of care within non-clinical spaces, whilst noting that much research on the use of technologies for care remains haunted by clinical imag…
Vitality and nature in psychiatric spaces: Challenges and prospects for ‘healing architecture’ in the design of inpatient mental health environments
Immersive imaginaries: Digital spaces as post place care
With the spread of digitalization, the spaces and imaginaries of healthcare are fundamentally changing, due, in part, to an increasing uptake of immersive technologies. Building on previous ethnographic work on the nature of placed care (Ivanova, 2020a; Simonsen, 2020) this paper explores two cases of immersive technology advances in the Netherlands and Denmark to better understand contemporary developments in digital healthcare, the virtual envi…
The Urban Belonging Photo App: A toolkit for studying place attachments with digital and participatory methods
This paper introduces the open-source Urban Belonging (UB) toolkit, designed to study place attachments through a combined digital, visual and participatory methodology that foregrounds lived experience. The core of the toolkit is the photovoice UB App, which prompts participants to document urban experiences as digital data by taking pictures of the city, annotating them, and reacting to others' photos. The toolkit also includes an API interface…
Mutual visibility and interaction: Staff reactions to the ‘healing architecture’ of psychiatric inpatient wards in Denmark
Healing architecture and psychiatric practice: (Re)ordering work and space in an in-patient ward in Denmark
Healing architecture is a defining feature of contemporary hospital design in many parts of the world, with psychiatric in-patient facilities in Denmark at the forefront of this innovation. The approach rests on the contention that designed clinical spaces and the particular dispositions they express may promote patient recovery. Although the idea that health may be spatially mediated is well-established, the means of this mediation are far from …
