POLYVALANT AGEING

In this thesis I explore how good design can help tackle the issue of loneliness and social isolation in older adults, by paying attention to the characteristics of the user and its location and site with an empathetic approach. Improving social interaction within its surroundings through a 4-step design strategy, thoughtful programming, and laying the grounds for social interaction and various unplanned interactions among different age groups.

A chance of ageing in place, a polyvalent place, that is ever changing and evolving with the community.
