Intergenerational Architecture

Projects were located across the globe including Southwark, Rotherham, Exeter and Shanghai.

Themes were developed through a series of personal exploratory tasks, including reflecting on heritage, replicating impairments and investigating individual locations.

Subsequently these were used to reveal how an attention to the intergenerational demographic can materialise at all scales leading to architectural projects that have an enjoyable and rigorous legacy.

Particular passions emerged for celebrating intergenerational and cultural relationships, reimagining elderly care as well as working within the scale and density of a varied metropolitan setting.

Adopting a collaborative working method via a Peer Support Group (PSG), the students took an active role in reviewing each project throughout the course of the year. This allowed for an open dialogue about the relationship between what we do and how we ensure individual and collective wellbeing.

The outputs exemplify a thoughtful, appropriate and relevant set of architectural responses which are the culmination of an engaged, productive and supportive cohort.
