Dementia Day Care Design: Solutions from an Interprofessional Student Practicum: A Report of Research

Abstract

This monograph presents discrete design interventions developed by architecture, interior design and landscape architecture students in an inter-professional practicum. Students developed an understanding of the context of adult day care settings. Each student developed a discrete design intervention that could be utilized to enhance the therapeutic milieu of large open spaces endemic to adult day care. These interventions are categorized in one of three types: spatial organization, partitions and activity-oriented furniture.
