Idejna zasnova stanovanjske skupnosti za starejše v Štepanjskem naselju v Ljubljani

Stražišar, Marjeta (author), Gregorski, Mojca (mentor)

Magistrska naloga se ukvarja z vprašanjem zasnove primarnega okolja za bivanje in delo starejše aktivne populacije. Naslanja se na 3 pomembna izhodišča: 1. Pričakovana življenjska doba se podaljšuje in možnost uresničevanja individualnih potreb se vse bolj dokazuje v kvalitetnem bivanju v skupnosti. 2. V sodobni družbi vse več ostarelih posameznikov ostaja samih v velikih domovanjih. Po vzoru angleške besede, je v slovenskem jeziku nastala beseda samovalec. Naloga družbe je, da starejšim omogoči čim bolj kvalitetno bivanje in občutek, da so tudi oni nepogrešljiv člen družbe. 3. V preteklosti so kulturni in zadružni domovi predstavljali jedro srečevanj, kar se v sodobnem času izgublja. Predlagana skupnost aktivnih starostnikov omogoča medgeneracijsko povezavo med sokrajani. Starostniku se ob prehodu v tretje življenjsko obdobje način življenja močno spremeni. Pogosto to sovpada s selitvijo v domove za starejše, ki pa niso prilagojeni še vedno aktivnemu posamezniku, pač pa lahko celo spominjajo celo na bolnišnično ustanovo, kjer starostnik težko najde smisel in veselje do življenja. Magistrska naloga predstavi nov, alternativen pogled na starostnika in na njegove želje, hobije ter življenjski stil. Želimo ustvariti okolje, ki bo omogočilo bolj naraven prehod v starost in bo tako za starostnika manj stresen, ob enem pa bo v domu lahko še naprej koristen in bo s tem ohranjal vitalnost ter aktivno živel še naprej. Z arhitekturo je potrebno spodbuditi aktivnost in povezanost s skupnostjo, hkrati pa vsakemu posamezniku omogočiti to, da si svoj dom uredi in preoblikuje po svojih željah. Ključno vodilo magistrske naloge je: ‘’Pomagaj mi, da naredim sam!’’

Abstract

The master’s thesis addresses the issue of designing a primary environment for the living and work of the elderly active population. It relies on three important premises: 1. Life expectancy is increasing, and the possibility of fulfilling individual needs is increasingly proven in quality community living. 2. In modern society, more and more elderly individuals remain alone in large homes. Following the English word, the Slovenian language has coined the term “samovalec” to describe such individuals. The task of society is to provide the elderly with the highest quality of living and a sense that they are also an indispensable part of society. 3. In the past, cultural and cooperative centres represented the core of social gatherings, which is disappearing in modern times. The proposed community of active seniors enables intergenerational connections between neighbours. As elderly individuals enter their senior years, their lifestyle undergoes significant changes. This often coincides with moving to nursing homes that are not adapted to still active individuals but can even resemble a hospital where the elderly find it difficult to find meaning and joy in life. The master’s thesis presents a new, alternative view of the elderly and their desires, hobbies, and lifestyle. We aim to create an environment that will allow a more natural transition into old age and will be less stressful for the elderly, while also allowing them to remain useful in their home and maintain their vitality by continuing to live an active life. Through architecture, it is necessary to encourage activity and community involvement while also enabling each individual to decorate and transform their home according to their wishes. The key principle of the master’s thesis is: “Help me do it myself!”
