A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COM A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY 2 0 2 2 • Professor Edward Glaeser, Professor of Economics at Harvard University and the Director for the Cities Research Programme at the International Growth Centre, discussed the future of developing cities depending on five lessons for urban policy “Infrastructure - Housing - Urban Land - Employment and Education - City finances.” “The preschool inside an older adults residential community” research shows how the mentioned aspects can help the city’s future development by highlighting three aspects. A) Housing: Boosting the supply for retirement communities to keep up with the demographic changes and housing challenges for the future. B) Urban Land: Promoting regulations that require better land use and strategic density while accommodating assessed needs for users to develop inclusive growth. C) Education: Increasing the supply and quality of early childhood education and care to foster economic growth and development. #research #design #architecture #urban #housing #cities #infrastructure #urbanland #intergenerationalliving #children #elderly #olderadults #seniorhousing #design #humancentereddesign #peoplearchitecture #architecturepeople #urbancommunity #london #uk #seniorhousing
A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COM A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY 2 0 2 2 • The “Human-centered academic field of spatial research”. The necessity to combine the social (needs wants, issues, aspirations of people) and the psychological dimension (mental and emotional aspect, feeling of comfort) with the physical dimension (The physical form, built environment, and features and elements of a space). The research aims to propose an intergenerational model that develops a spatial pattern to enhance children’s social interaction and cognitive performance and solves the problems of loneliness and social isolation for the elderly. This is done by integrating urban sociology and urban policy to propose an integrated urban community that would socially impact human interactions and develop a transformation for the compact city of London’s urban growth. #london #research #intergenerational #intergenerationalliving #design #archi #archidaily #architecturedesign #urban #urbansociology #urbanpolicy #urbanplanning #healthyurbanliving #humancentereddesign #paper
A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COM A PRESCHOOL INSIDE AN OLDER ADULTS RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY 2 0 2 2 • I asked 104 older adults “What makes you feel Home?” Answers were classified under four main topics: Identity – Privacy – Family - Sociability. More than half of older adults (58%) think that home is a self-expression aspect; Being themselves, doing their own things and practicing their hobbies, a part of their identity. (45%) think home is a feeling of comfort through warmth, coziness or security. (45%) declared that home is where privacy occurs, whether being naked emotionally or physically or having their own bed. (17%) specified that home is about family connections which is a sociability aspect. Home is a psychological need or a feeling, a place where they do the things they love and feel comfortable as the majority stated not a sociability aspect as most of them are living alone. . . . #design #home #humancentereddesign #architecture #arch #space #psychological #needs #people #research #feelhome #paper #survey #london #uk #london
R E S E A R C H • Encouraging positive interact R E S E A R C H • Encouraging positive interactions between humans in spatial contexts. Our recent research creates solutions and opportunities for problems by focusing on the needs, contexts, behaviors, and emotions of people. Our research addresses how architecture and sociology are integrated, and to what extent do their neighboring subdisciplines, such as urban planning, urban sociology, and urban policy, accompany and shape their relationships with one another? . . . #architecture #research #urbanpolicy #urbanspciology #sociology #paper #humancentereddesign #people #architectureresearch #architecturepeople #spatial #humaninteraction #hayaarafa #humancentered #humancenteredarchitecture #humancentereddesign #designthinking
