Enhance Dignity: A different housing thought on Elderly care
Discover the projectBehind the distinction.
“De Gamle By” (the Elderly City), on the outskirts of the central district, was historically a cohabitation area for neglected elderly. The government concentrates the management of the elderly and mentally ill, lacking a focus on human rights. Evolving with an emphasis on elderly rights, it transformed into a city for seniors. However, its isolated atmosphere led to a disconnect with the surrounding city, unintentionally sequestering the elderly. Government attempts to introduce younger demographics faced challenges.
I am trying to blur the fixed labels of “vulnerable groups” for those residing here. Employing a plethora of implicit designs to maximize the attenuation of the aging sense in the elderly. Simultaneously, weakening the sense of disconnection between the elderly and society through intergenerational living.
