INTERGENERATIONAL INTEGRATION CENTER

Silesian University of Technology, (Politechnika Śląska), Faculty of Architecture, Gliwice

Idea projektu

The Center for Intergenerational Integration was designed to keep the youngest together with seniors, they could actively spend their free time together. This type of combination of two target user groups, on the one hand, teaches children to respect the elderly, and on the other, allows seniors to "feel needed". The function was chosen due to the proximity of the housing development and the hospital, from where children and elderly patients could come. In addition, the close proximity of the city library makes it possible to organize joint cultural and recreational events.

Popis projektu

The facility has been divided into three main zones: for children, seniors and the common one. Individual functions are closed in modules, arranged in two different ways. Free on the ground floor, thanks to which the corridor meanders like a river, thanks to which children cannot accelerate while running. There are classrooms for children, a small gastronomy and an internal courtyard. On the first floor, the modules are arranged in a simple and legible way for seniors to receive. There will be rehabilitation and training rooms as well as a terrace on the roof - above the gastronomy. On the roof above the first floor there is a roof with vegetation, like honey plants, technical devices and hives. Only employees of the center, shepherds and participants of beekeeping or garden workshops have access to the roof.
