| 4 Robin Blanchard/Architecture Interiors relationshipping The paradox that senior citizens face is that as physical capabilities diminish, new networks that are aimed at bringing people together remain largely inaccessible. Geriatric ghettoising is often seen as a solution. This architectural study proposes the introduction of concentrated local space acting as the interface between pensioner and city, allowing older people the choice to remain as participating members of their communities for longer. Segregation is parallel to imprisonment whereas demographic diversity creates a group of dependables ... | |
| 5 Mike Bond Martin Coyne/ Communication Art Design shifting the focus When people enter a museum they will be stepping out of one environment into another. If their frame of mind is not entirely synchronised with this change, it could lead to a misinterpretation of what they are seeing. Does coming in off the high street mean that people continue to ewindow shopf? Shifting the Focus is a printed communication aimed at museum curator and visitor alike. Its objective: to show that regardless of age, the preparation of a visitorfs mindset can help to ensure that they fully benefit from their ... | |
| 12 Large communities of older people live ghettoised lives in a media-driven city that caters for a population that never seems to exceed the age of 54. This project aims to achieve social inclusiveness for third age users in the public sphere by overlapping the activities of the University of the Third Age (U3A) with the functionality and physical space of Liverpool Street Station. The concourse of the station becomes the campus ground for learning, education and sociability; a performance space for members lessons and activities. Interrelationships form between the commuters and U3A members, ... | |

The project aims to bridge generation gaps, so older people are not seen as a separate group, and younger people are prompted to think about ageing and ageism. Jo Taylor/Communication ... | |
