Project 1

Personal space

Elderly needs extra care due to physical deterioration. The furniture is required to be flexible, lightweight, and easy to be operated. A visit to the nursing homhas given us an opportunity to approach the aged group and understand their basic needs. Later, we are required to choose a client and design a furniture for him/her based on their daily as well as emotional needs.

Project 2B

Upon completing the site analysis, it helps us to gain a basic understanding on site and derived the concept as well as poetic quality in respond to the site context. One of the idea is to strengthen the bonding between aged group and youngster together by utilizing the existing space for related activities and make them interact together.  I have studied on a few nursing home from different countries and tried to applied the related concept into my building. The floor plans and the approaches are satisfying but i think there are so much room of improvements in term of building elevations and overall relationship with the site. The feedback on the judgement day are very helpful and have given me more idea to achieve my concept. Interesting landscapes and the public gathering space should be more well thought and designed in order to make the elderly home integrate more with the site. I understand that there are more space for improvement and will definitely work harder for the coming assignments.
