| dc.description.abstract | As the population in Sweden is aging, age related diseases are on the rise. The environment that we are commonly surrounded by is more often than not unsuitable, or in some cases hostile, to older people. In this project, the focus is set upon people with advanced symptoms of dementia. For them, the way the environment is designed can make a real difference. It could be a source of stress, dizziness and fear if not accommodating to their condition. Dead ends, reflections, inaccessible paths and the lack of contrast, are sources of confusion and could get in the way of understanding their surroundings. However if done correctly, the environment can also be a source of comfort and stimulation. The goal of this design is to create assisted living facilities in Utby, Gothenburg, that can be considered as a home. It needs to transpire a sense of safety and bring comfort to its inhabitants. Three concepts are applied throughout the site: to create a neighborhood, to build a diverse and complex environment, to design with the local natural qualities. These guidelines will support a dementia village design enabling choice, flexibility, but also bring a sense of calm to its inhabitants. | |
