Rediscovery of Learning for the Elderly<br />
Suzhou's population has been rapidly ageing. The spaces and architecture<br />
that cater to the elderly should give them more self-confidence, social<br />
connections, and vitality. Such designs have been extremely inadequate in<br />
China. Learning plays an important role in active ageing; lifelong learning<br />
enables elderly people to maintain the quality of their lives by enhancing<br />
their self and bettering their physical health and social relationships.<br />
This design studio is primarily concerned with the ageing population, who<br />
prefer to spend most of their time in their own neighbourhoods. At the<br />
same time, students also reflect on how to improve engagement by the<br />
elderly with other age groups, especially with children. In other words,<br />
the studio creates, through learning, more social and generational links<br />
between people who would not otherwise connect with each other.<br />
Learning is a core feature of active ageing. Yet for the elderly living in<br />
in Suzhou and in China, participation in and engagement with learning<br />
activities is difficult. The studio design project aims to reflect and create<br />
optimal conditions for learning activities with small scale spaces that<br />
address the primary concerns of the elderly and also invite users of all<br />
ages to learn, exercise, play, and meditate.<br />
