Serinity Village: Alzheimer’s Care Facility
This project is a focus on designing a suitable care facility for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Over the past century scientists and researchers have been looking for a cure for this degenerative neurological disease. Still we are far from a permanent answer, so some of the studies have focused on how to slow it down once it is dianosed. Among those solutions we find phenomenology integrated into architecture. There are many examples of how the stimulus of senses throughout the space designed is helpful for people in memory care facilities.
Most of these methods help with anxiety and stress reduction which, if elevated, are both factors that only accelerate the disease in the patient For this reason the project builds on the possibility that the integration of natural lighting, constant contact with nature and the reduction of “dead ends” in the patients’ daily environment could allow them to prolong the time in their lucidity from the initial diagnosis to their state of most dependency.

HABITAT: SOCIAL HOUSING FOR ARTISTS AND SINGLE MOTHERS
The obejctive of this project was to design social housing for artists and single mothers by re-using pre-fabricated concrete modules of an unfinished housing project in Puerto Rico. The modules were believed to have been part of a design left behind by Architect Moshe Safdie in the late 1960s and early 1970s. After visiting the site it was evident that the structures were unlikely to be re-used, but the project focus then turned to restructuring and organizing the dimensions that made up these pre-fabricated modules and designing housing units fit for the users.
