This mini-dissertation highlights the lack of age-inclusive interventions in public and social environments, specifically pertaining to the growing elderly demographic. A further critique of geriatric care architecture provides insight into the gaps in the discourse of which our failure to consider cognitive dependencies is the biggest shortcoming. The world is going through a seismic demographic shift and as curators of spatial interactions we need to step back into the driving seat for social change. A more holistic research and design approach yielded spatial implementation strategies tested and iterated on the project site in Danville, Pretoria West. The intangibles of cognitive changes had tangible triggers which allowed for physical implementation. The results of this mini-dissertation can serve as a guideline for future projects advocating against our ageist urban environments, contributing to a knowledge source that we will soon not be able to design without. mi2026 Architecture MArch (Prof) Unrestricted SDG-03: Good health and well-being SDG-04: Quality education SDG-10: Reduced inequalities SDG-11: Sustainable cities and communities 2023-02-06T08:52:42Z 2023-02-06T08:52:42Z 2023-05-03 2022 Mini Dissertation * A2023 https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/89158 en © 2022 University of Pretoria.
