My graduation project is about how elderly can continue to live independently for as long as possible, even when the demand for care eventually increases.
During the research, the following questions were adressed:
- Which (design) criteria make sure that people do not know when they have to go out for life?
- How can dwellings, that are especially designed for people of the third and fourth stages of life in the future, when the growth of people in the Netherlands is stagnates in the Netherlands?
These questions were answered by literature study into the design criteria and the analysis of 4 case studies. These case studies gave me insight into how the design criteria can be interwoven with the design. The research has been of great importance as input for my design, together with a location analysis.
