The Age Friendly City project consists of an interactive website and two journalistic articles on the topics; making intergenerational spaces for ageing cities and how Seoul can improve its play provision. Gathering professional opinions from academia and the social care sector, as well as personal stories from parents, I planned and modelled an age friendly city where both over-60s and children can playfully grow in. The model is integrated into a website that I coded using javascript, html/css, with separate webpages built using Unity game engine. Visitors can freely navigate and explore the models while reading the accompanying texts to understand how different elements can act as age friendly interventions. Access to full website: https://liveplaycity.com/

Final work

What makes a city age friendly? 15-minute-cities can be a starting point, but to accommodate our elderly and underage residents, small and big interventions for play, healthcare, social care, education, are needed in urban space. (GLB model for web integration.)

Research and process

A digital cartography of concepts for planning an age friendly city. Some inspirations include Le Corbusier's Domino house, Archigram, and Deleuze and Guattari's discourse on rhizome and deterritorialisation. Cities can be flexible, generative and a continuing process.
