| dc.description.abstract | This thesis project focuses on providing a unique
sensory expereince for residents, employees, and
visitors at Touchmark at Harwood Groves, a
local senior living community. This is a large
complex that houses independent and assisted
living, as well as a memory care unit. The full site
is approximately 14 acres but this project will
focus on a 2 acre portion that is currently open
for developement.
There is a growing need for accessible outdoor
spaces within senior living communities. Many of
these facilities lack proper outdoor amenities for
active ageing and healing. The aging population
is consistantly growing, but accessable and
engaging outdoor accomodations for them are
falling behind in growth.
The goal for this project is to create an outdoor
space that encourages residents to spend more
time outside and to lead a healthy avtice lifestyle
surroudned by nature. This setting also promotes
visitation by family and friends. By reimagining
the vacant space at Touchmark, a large interactive
sensory garden will enhance the experience
of residents at touchmark. | en_US |
