Consisting of community interface, intensive collaborative design sessions, and element prototyping followed by on-site construction and fabrication; the process included receiving advice from Drexel biomedical engineering students on designing for the elderly. Residents took part in user-driven charrettes to identify working solutions for the space. Project methodology involved engaging with community members, prototyping solutions, and user-centered resolutions. In considering a space for residents to come together, the clients requested gathering, gardening, and relaxation spaces. Considerations for accessibility, such as safe paving and maintenance were also incorporated. The garden paths designed are a“loop” that the residents can repeatedly stroll to increase outdoor time and movement-their “life space”. Post Occupancy was undertaken in collaboration with public health students and faculty. With Kieran Timberlake’s Andrew Cronin.
