The fourth edition of the yearbook of the Department of Architecture at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University presents student works created during the academic year 2016 - 2017.

It is thus also a showcase of the creative culture that has guided our students in taking first steps to successful international careers as responsible and creative architectural designers. XJTLU offers RIBA Part 1, 2 and 3.

BRIEF A<br />
Active Ageing in an island of Suzhou<br />
<strong>2016</strong>-<strong>2017</strong> <strong>YEARBOOK</strong> Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University Department of Architecture 西 交 利 物 浦 大 学 建 筑 系<br />
What is Active Ageing? Active ageing is the process of optimizing<br />
opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance<br />
quality of life as people age. The burning question to be addressed in this<br />
studio is: can architecture support the elderly to participate in all aspects<br />
of community life in contemporary China?<br />
Students are required to investigate the possibilities and potentials of<br />
shared space in terms of typologies and public space in fostering friendly<br />
communities for all generations: shared living space between the old and<br />
the young; shared living space between young adults and their parents<br />
who temporarily visit them; shared space between caregivers and those<br />
who are ill; shared space for recreation between young adults and older<br />
people with disabilities; shared space for preparing group meals, hosting<br />
visitors and facilitating group meetings; and shared space for various<br />
religious rituals, etc.<br />
