Aging in place has been the developmental trend of housing performance. To consider the needs of caring facilities and the space for caregivers’ operations and to improve home environment reaching mobility safety and accessibility for the aged are requirements of housing. Nevertheless, communities have the problem of aging in place when the aged face independent living, assisted living and skilled-nursing phase because of the limitation of housing renew. Therefore, this research focused on housing in the existing community, and produced experimental housing refurnishing designs to improve the function of housing for aging in place. On the other hand, this research studied the possibility of using participatory designs in refurnishing on a community basis. The results show that although change in the structure of existing housing was limited, it was still possible to find adaptable modules and develop suitable infill through zoning analysis to match the changing requirements regarding living spaces during the different phases of aging in place. Regarding the application of open building design, assembly and adaption designs were easier than elasticity design, in both traditional court housing and row housing. Regarding the operation of participatory design, the assistance of key persons with long-term participation in community affairs, community residents have common notions, and communication with residents via multi-technique, as well as resident cognition and attitude were major influences on the operating possibilities. |
