| dc.description.abstract | With the rise of the ageing population and the increasing prevalence of dementia, day care centres play an essential role in supporting those affected during the day. This thesis examines the importance of establishing atmospheric permanency in dementia day care centres, which are naturally temporary in their spatial nature. By framing domesticity as an anchor for stability and comfort, it is explored how spatial familiarity, memorabilia objects, comfort, and orientation cues are essential to contributing to a feeling of belonging. Specifically, the key domestic zones of transition areas, gardens, living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas are analysed to understand the significance of fostering a “homelike” environment within dementia day care centres. | en |
