Propuesta de diseño de un conjunto residencial para adultos mayores

Abstract

It is proposed to a residential unit for adults over 65 years of age, located in a rural area of the municipality of Piedecuesta, on the way to Guatiguara. In the project will be able to reside up to 100 users. It is intended that the housing defined under determinants of universal design and geronto-architecture represents a space of comfort for the user, in which you feel full and can function with autonomy in the extent of their capabilities. Raised 16 housing Type 1 of 40 m2 and 31 Type 2 of 50 m2. Offering in addition the possibility of integrating an attendant or nurse if required. All this is complemented with a variety of support services that are optional and customized for a assisted living, which allow the maximum degree of independence and ensure a great quality of life with support areas, integration, rest and recreation, that addresses the requirements of community life and relationships with the urban environment necessary for the well-being of the older adult. The support services set out are restaurant and laundry facilities which will supply the daily needs of the users who want it. We also found a number of areas for older adults to socialize and interact with others as squares, agora, rooms, recreational workshops, oratory, etc, In the approach to urban planning were taken into account axes of design with which we separate the vehicle to the pedestrian, giving priority to the latter and obtaining as a result a few linear parks that extend throughout the project, creating large green areas that integrate the user with the nature. In this way it seeks to ensure through the project, the autonomy and the quality of life of older adults for as long as possible, prolonging its life and enjoyable.
