Abstract:
This study described design interventions and provided a methodology to guide the design of intergenerational interactive spaces. The study found a correlation between orphaned children's most prevalent psychological issues and architectural and interior design. The study also used literature to identify categories for using design to create a stimulating livable space.”
“
The engaging environment embodies a multi-dimensional collective experience that engages the senses, the brain, and the emotions." These elements are still entangled and intricate. The researcher connected these components to design aspects and features using the proposed scheme. This study looked at how architectural design might help orphaned children deal with psychological issues such as social isolation, despair, and fear as a result of losing their parents and adjusting to a new environment away from home.”
Childhood is a sensitive stage in life when a person requires constant love, care, and nurturing to establish a solid set of values and morals. Our family, for the most part, provide us with the required love and care. Orphans are a group of young people who were not fortunate enough to be given this opportunity. The elderly living in old age homes are in a similar circumstance where they are denied their family's compassion and aid. For the elderly, family is seen as the most important source of support and protection.
The main challenges that the elderly in old age homes encounter are social and personal adjustment; sadness, dejection, financial insufficiency, and familiarisation. A homely and familiar atmosphere with a sense of family and attachment can be established by carefully analysing and embracing the needs of both ages to produce a good effect and bring about better physical and emotional well-being, which is lacking in both age groups.
This blending of living environments for the two generations might be advantageous to both. It has the potential to help aged young and youngsters become wiser.
