Physical settings are of great importance. This applies not least to vulnerable groups, where the right choices in relation to interior design, light incidence and location of a building's various functions can be of great importance.

It is important for the building of knowledge that the Church of the Cross also has the courage to measure whether the users get better well-being and hope for the future. The project is a perfect match for Den A.P. Møllerske Støttefond's focus area "Social construction with measurable effect", which is specifically targeted at the potential of architecture in the social area - construction, where the starting point is the life situation of vulnerable citizens.Physical settings are of great importance.
