NORD Architects is a creative office in Copenhagen, Denmark We call it process design.

NORD Architects is known by the ability to develop and innovate content and engage with the clients and users relating to a project. Our work is often characterized by a high level of complexity that is organized and embodied in a specific design. We consider every project we undertake as a process of change
Therefore we focus on how to design the process itself. This method has resulted in the realization of several prizewinning projects spanning from the development of new types of institutions, urban spaces, urban development strategies and learning environments. NORD Architects was established in 2003 by founding partners Johannes Molander Pedersen and Morten Rask Gregersen (both b. 1974).During the years we have employed a multidisciplinary staff of urban planners, architects, landscape architects, process consultants, art historians, academics within social and cultural studies along with our technical staff. Besides realizing various projects, we are often asked to lecture and have been taking part in exhibitions and publications on several occasions. NORD Architects operates as total advisors, collaborators and client advisors on projects within the public and private sector.

Marlin and Doris Thomas Memory Center: Just like home

One critical aspect of the Memory Center will be providing residents with a sense of normalcy, the feeling of being at home within a secure environment. To feel at home, everything that reminds one of an institution is avoided.

Fourteen households, each with 10 private bedrooms and the amenities of a typical home, will be centered around a common building.

Various offers and activities make it easy to find a place where you can feel at home and maintain everyday activities, such as going to a cafe, to the hairdresser and to the gym. Individual wishes and needs are handled with respect for the individual resident. Relatives and other visitors must feel welcome too and be able to participate in activities and meals.

In collaboration with Willow Valley Communities

Marlin and Doris Thomas Memory Center: A centre of excellence

There is still a lot we do not know about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Yet more people globally are affected by the neurodegenerative disease. There are currently estimated to be over 55 million people worldwide living with dementia. The number of people affected is set to rise to 139 million by 2050 (Alzheimer’s Disease International).

The new Memory Center in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a specialized dementia care facility with 140 dementia units for individual care and also acts as a center of excellence: A resource center for volunteers as well as a research- and knowledge center for neurologists, neuropsychologists and other research personnel.

Within the Memory Center an Assessment and Treatment Center will offer essential components for memory loss prevention, early diagnosis, assessment, treatment and support. The Brain Tech Center will further research.

NORD Architects is designing the Memory Center for Valley Communities. A driven developer and health care advocate with ambitions to push the boundaries for dementia care and enhance the quality of life for people affected directly or indirectly by dementia.
