International Architectural and Urban Design Workshop Intergenerational Centre

In the municipal seat of iri, one in six residents is over 65. There is little daily commuting in iri because of its well-developed industry. Changes in living conditions, such as place of residence, are more difficult for people in vulnerable periods such as old age if they are used to a particular domicile. An intergenerational centre in iri would make it possible for people to live in their home environment longer, and also improve their quality of life because of contact with the activity of younger generations. To this end, four scenarios have been proposed for intergenerational centres at four selected locations in the Municipality of iri. The scenarios envisage centres of different sizes, with appropriate functional units for care for the elderly, connected with an additional programme to strengthen intergenerational solidarity and coexistence. Creating a regional intergenerational centre would introduce the most modern spatial and social concepts of life for the elderly into the area. The scenarios include urban design and architectural proposals for four selected locations.
