The Activity Village For Senior Living

Project idea

This project has a different concept from similar projects for the seniors and is based on creating a new lifestyle for its residents. While the needs and limitations of senior citizens are taken into account in the design of the Activity Village, it is also targeted to create an atmosphere which will give the joy of life for the people who live here, make them to produce various things, to interact with each other and with the social environment; in short, it is aimed at directing them to an active life. For this purpose, the space requirement program regarding the details of which are provided for the living environment for the elderly, include significant differences compared to its counterparts. It is expected that the detailed design of the spaces included in the space requirement program will serve the concept of the living environment proposed for the active senior citizens.

Project description

It is envisaged that this village will be established as an organization based largely on self -management of the inhabitants, with an administration policy showing the utmost respect for individual preferences. Therefore, creating a social and individual living environment that will not lead to anonymity and respond to individual preferences is a primary goal in the design of this village.
Establishing the ecological based individual-environment relations is also an important goal in the design of this village. Within the framework of this purpose in the space requirement program is constructed for the villagers to live together with nature and to present activities that produce, not only consume nature and other resources. Because it is predicted that living by producing will increase the commitment of senior people to life, keep them fit and happy, as all people do.
Another goal is that the social relations that this village will maintain with the world outside of it form an important part of daily life. This goal is for the residents of the village to establish effective and meaningful relationships not only with their relatives and friends, but also with the neighbors of the village, visitors from different environments and age groups due to the proposed concept, thus increasing their commitment to life.

Technical information

The Construction idea is to have sculpture building as many parts, such as pieces of wood, Reinforced concrete, or steel. Both these forms of sculpture are additive as in forms that are built up. This is in contrast to form of sculpture that is subtractive, as a carving would be and in this project i try to generate energetic fluid between wind, solar radiation and salty water as ahole to have some transmission between the both, therefore to be able to substain the building.
