"Young -Old" Community
(2022) AAHM10 20221Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- The term “Young-Old” was introduced in 1974 by Bernice Neugarten, who further subdivided the elderly population. This term also corresponds to the third stage of the life cycle of childhood, adulthood, “Young-Old” and “Old-Old”. According to this quadripartite division, “Young-Old” can be called the “Third Age.” This group is the new and rapidly expanding elderly population of healthy and independent. The thesis focuses on the “Young-Old” group research, including demographic development, Population findings & hypothesis, Pension system & retirement, and relevant cases.
The research sequence starts with socio-demographic background information, moves on to the history of aging communities and case studies of innovative senior...

The research sequence starts with socio-demographic background information, moves on to the history of aging communities and case studies of innovative senior communities, and then to user research to summarize and prepare for the practical sessions through transcription.
The ultimate “Young-Old” community design is based on a site in Helsinki, Finland. The site is located in the north center of Metropolis, near the city hospital, train station, commercial center, and stadium, making it ideal for the “Young-Old” group’s recreational life. The aging community consists of public spaces such as hotels, meeting rooms, gyms, restaurants, offices, and semi-private spaces such as woodworking workshops, metalworking workshops, exhibition spaces, chapels, libraries, and children’s playrooms.
The design concept does not refer to traditional architectural cases of senior communities but rather to the activity level of urban façades, the proportion of building scale related to the urban texture, and the non-hierarchical combination of partial buildings. The aim is to design a space as a community with multiple identities, where the community becomes a “Young-Old” interactive architectural space. (Less)
