In my thesis Urban design of an Intergenerational Community in the area of Dolnice I wanted to design a neighbourhood with different age groups. The thesis is a upgrade of the project made in the course Urban Planning 3 under the mentor of doc. dr. Matevž Juvančič. The aim is to design a community that brings together different generations. So I designed assisted living apartments with housing for families. I planned a day centre with activities for all generations. I’ve included a kindergarten for a lively bustle and added a shop to keep essentials close at hand. I have connected the environment with greenery, with gardens and garden beds. I added a trim trail to keep residents and visitors in good shape, and pastures for a relaxed, homely atmosphere.
By designing an Intergenerational Community, I want to create an environment where the elderly actively enjoy their old age and the younger generations are enriched by the wisdom of the elderly.
