Yarışma BilgileriAs people grow old they become less independent due to physical, physiological and mental changes which create disabilities. There is of course no set sequence or programme for this, but as life expectancy increases, dependency of older people on others increases.

Most of us would wish to spend our old age in familiar surroundings and therefore remain living in our own home, but dependency levels will, possibly at some stage, render this impractical.

For some time, therefore, residential homes have expected to provide accommodation for older people who cannot manage at home or with family or friends, and now, due to the general re-structuring of the NHS, private care homes provide residential accommodation but also much more care and support for the more frail and disabled.

The objective of this competition is therefore to seek ideas from you as to how you think the care home of the future may look. There are no restrictions, for instance, your submission may consider the larger design issues or maybe the smaller ones, or all of them. It is impossible to rate their individual importance as success is achieved in how they are integrated together.

In the initial briefing document, we raised some relevant issues and here we will pose some others, but these are intended to stimulate your imagine, not to represent a questionnaire. We all have some level of interaction with older people and together with our own likes and dislikes can therefore begin to imagine how design could benefit them, given their various stages of physical, physiological and mental decline.

There are, of course, also many references available to you but how far you involve yourself with this is for you to decide.
