Public Familiarity
Architectural Strategies for Social Inclusion in Assisted Living
This graduation project explores how assisted living for
people with an intellectual disability can become more
socially inclusive as part of the future transformation of the
Spaanse Polder. Instead of seeing care housing as an isolated,
protected facility, the project looks at how architecture can
promote public familiarity and everyday participation.
The design combines care housing with public spaces such
as a café and library, allowing for low-threshold encounters
between residents and the neighbourhood. The different
needs of residents are reflected in two living environments:
the Sanctuary group, which is focused on a less stimulating
environment, and the Social Hub group, which is focused
on a more social environment.
The project shows that inclusive assisted living requires more
than just making things accessible; dignity, visibility and so
cial infrastructure are also important, as is the possibility for
residents to participate in everyday life at their own speed. ...
