SOCIAL FAMILY An “Aging in Place” Solution for Elderly [Yu Sun, 2015]
Responding to the global phenomenon of population ageing, this thesis explores alternative housing strategies for elderly people in Milan. The project addresses the social, spatial, and demographic implications of longer life expectancy and declining fertility, proposing an “aging in place” model that supports autonomy, everyday life, and social inclusion. Housing is conceived as an adaptive environment capable of meeting the physical and social needs of an aging population while remaining integrated within the urban fabric.
