Castle Park Bristol: Intertwining Generations” is an affordable housing unit built around a market square with amenities that cater to an elderly population.  The project is driven by ‘five stars to happiness’: compassion, food, shelter, stimulation, and interaction.  Each tenet is woven throughout the project to create an inclusive and close knit community.

“City of Crafts is centered around a flexible and people-friendly environment, achieved by means of modules that can easily be extended, added to or modified-similar to a honeycomb.  A four-block public zone in the center would include art, leisure, recreation, and an event space is carved out of an existing low-rise housing structure.

Honorable Mention

 

Academic Island focuses on clusters of elderly communities that exist within the city of Porto.  The goal of the project is to connect these clusters with local universities and bring academic activities to the areas.  These places would become education hubs through formal academic linkages and the interaction of the young and old.

First Prize:

 

“The Elderly Vertical Community” works off the idea that mass urbanization has upset the traditional community balance that used to incorporate the elderly.  To overcome this issue, the project proposes the construction of a ‘vertical city’ which uses elevation to connect all function and accommodations, public spaces, healthcare, and education.  Transportation within the building is designed to weave all groups living in the building together to recreate the sense of community.”

“Set Foot On” works to resolve the misunderstanding between native landlords and immigrant tenants via redesigning living quarters in buildings that create more autonomy between the two groups but also stimulate interaction amongst them as well.  The concept involves creating a spatial design within the home which will allow for more shared event space to improve communication between both residents and landlords.”

Peking University, China

 

Honorable Mention:

 

“The Community Center” acts as a community neighborhood that works to better integrate the elderly more closely socially, culturally, and economically.  It would incorporate seven areas stimulate integration- a space that enhances the transfer of learning, a pond, residential houses, shops, an open plaza, a community hall, a local library, and a children’s playground.”

“We Are Albaicin” uses the strong sense of cultural identity that already exists within the city to help strengthen a redevelopment of the local water front.  Using the prime location of the surrounding foothills, the project creates a new city center which would employ the local elderly population who promote a new understanding of the neighborhood through their unique knowledge and perspective.
