The elderly are a group of people who would say that they are marginalized by society. They are considered to be unproductive individuals who have reached the end of their lives and cannot contribute to society. The lack of adequate infrastructure for their accommodation and care is another factor that gives older people the feeling that they are isolated from their society.
The purpose of this thesis is therefore to create a housing complex for self-serving elderly people in the city of Volos with the aim of enhancing the connection between elderly people and the city, activating it, socializing it and offering a warm and intimate space of accommodation. In addition to the residences, the complex has communal facilities for themselves and the city, as well as a building providing health, wellness and fitness services.
A program like the one above, which incorporates at the same time a stable residential structure for the elderly and various functions with the city, can help make the first feel active members of society. In addition to that it is accepted by the city that the elderly still have the same needs with the others.
