RETHINK AGEING Ageing is not a pleasant subject. In many cases, it turns out to be the most challenging period of our lives. With population around the world is ageing rapidly, we cannot escape the fact that Malaysia population is ageing as well. However, currently elderly are not prepared for ageing, struggling with loss of independence, health problems and often loneliness and isolation. These scenarios are worsened by stereotype from society referring elderly as a burden member. Hence, there is a need to empower elderly and instill awareness in public through intergenerational facilities. Developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age to reduce dependency is crucial pertaining to this issue. Elderly have to regain autonomy and not to be limit by anyone to make own decision, to be mobile, to learn, to build and maintain relationship and to contribute to society. Elderly should get prepared to be independent as long as they could to avoid being a burden to the society. Furthermore, stereotype faced by elderly could be reduced by instilling awareness in public. This will encourage healthy ageing among elderly and also modify negative attitudes that younger person have towards elderly. However, in Malaysia, ageing is often overlooked. Current facilities provided as a response measure on ageing should be reviewed. Infrastructure, work opportunities, mobility, finances, family support and healthcare facilities are among some of the important areas that require changes to help in meeting expected needs of a growing ageing population. This project aims to prepare elderly for ageing, gaining back autonomy and empowered through healthy physical and mental. Various physical activities on endurance, balance, strength and flexibility are integrated to challenge elderly on physical skills and encourage movement to support better health. Whilst, getting physical challenged, life-long learning and vocational training help in keeping mind active and engaged, concurrently keeping both body and mind stimulated. Integration of intergenerational facilities will encourage intergenerational engagement, providing opportunities to learn from respective generations. Senior LEA-park will be an age friendly environment allowing healthy ageing, where elderly can foster health and well being, participation in learning and training, build and maintain relationship and to contribute to society.
01 INTRODUCTION Background . Problem statement
WHAT IS AGEING ? Ageing is not a pleasant subject. In many cases it turns out to be the most challenging period of our lives as we struggle with loss of independence, health problems and often loneliness and isolation. Ageing is an inevitable, irreversible process, but it is possible to age healthily.
BACKGROUND
Globally, the number of people aged 60 years or older will rise from 900million to 2 billion between 2015 and 2050, nearly double from 12% - 22% of the total global population. Every older person is different; some have the level of functioning of a 30year old, where some require full time assistance for basic everyday task.
Malaysia is also expected to become an ageing society by 2030 when people aged 60 and above make up 15.3% of total population. Seniors who aged 65 in 2019 is expected to live for another 15 – 17 yr. With Malaysia mandatory retirement age at 60, this make up of 2022 years of retirement life. For the 20 years, the top 3 things pre-retirees look forwards in retirement life are family bonding, travelling and having own free time. But the questions are who is there for you when children have their own life, are you financially prepared for the 20years and is it leading to a quality life.
PROBLEM STATEMENT Unpreparedness of elderly towards ageing resulting diminished independence and self care worsen by stereotype from society.
PHYSICAL Live longer in ill health, living longer doesn’t mean living healthier life. The longer life expectancy is accompanied by non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, stroke and heart diseases increased susceptibility to disabilities, prevent an ageing person from living an active and productive life.
MENTAL Prevalence to mental health problem, Bereavement or drop in socioeconomic status with retirement can result in isolation, loneliness or psychological distress in older people increasing risk of depression and dementia, which they may require long term care.
FINANCIAL Insufficient Savings, More than 50% cannot meet the minimum saving for retirement. 70% of EPF members who withdraw their funds at age 55 will use up their savings less than a decade after retiring, insufficient to stay out of poverty after retirement.
SOCIAL Dependence on children, In Asian countries, family has always been the fundamental source of support for the elderly where younger family members care for the older ones however is gradually fizzling out in Malaysia. With declining fertility rates, smaller families, longer life expectancy, and special care needs for the elderly, it is becoming untenable for families to provide support for the older ones. In 2010, a survey conducted by the National Population and Family Development Board found that one in three elderly people aged 60 and above were abandoned and devoid of financial support from their children.
ENVIRONMENT
STEREOTYPE
Lack of Age friendly Environment, limited accessible, inclusive, and safe and secure environment for elderly to foster their health and well-being and participation to combat ageism, enable autonomy and support healthy ageing.
Perception of elderly, Typical image of elderly where younger generation see them as more of a burden to society rather than a contributing member created barrier between them resulting lack of understanding and appreciation towards elderly
CURRENT FACILITIES
In Malaysia, ageing is often overlooked. Infrastructure, work opportunities, mobility, finances, family support and healthcare facilities are among some of the important areas that require change to help meet the expected needs of a growing ageing population. PAWE Community centre, therapy & rehabilitation, training, recreation U3A University for elderly , Life long learning Nursing Home & Old Folks Home - Facilities for ill-mobile elderly , facilities for bed –ridden elderly - Nursing and specialized care GAPS - Facilities for Healthy elderly ( Healthy Ageing ) - Platform for elderly to learn and contribute - Intergenerational facilities to foster engagement of elderly & public and educate the younger generation
RELEVANT NEWS Spending time with our elderly can extend their lives and enrich ours ( The Star Online ) “ Perception towards each other changed” “ Teen learned how to respect us and seniors learnt how to respect them too” “ Breaking stereotypes about inter-generational relationships which can be achieved by spending time with out elders”
Expert says the young can help the elderly to age gracefully ( FMT news ) “ Elderly in Malaysia were not financially independent & often had to rely on their children & family member” “ Elderly & children should be taught to take care of themselves; grow up to become independent elderly”
Staying young-at-heart ( The Star Online ) “ Encourage elderly to stay active, healthy and happy” “ Essentially, it’s about staying healthy and alert as we age” “Instead of idling time away at home, senior citizens should get out of the house, make new friends, sign up to learn new skills and participate in activities to keep them active”
60’s still working hard ( BHarian Online ) “ Elderly begining to suffer due to insufficient savings” “ For professionals, this issue may not arise compared to ordinary workers” “Even at 60, many are still healthy and looking for a good job, but rarely do employers want to hire senior citizens, resulting many lose income, rely on other”
Hairstyling doyen Datin Winnie Loo, 63, goes back to college ( The Star Online ) “ Age is just a number. It’s never too late to study” “ It’s important to keep mind active and keep up to date with technology and social media” “Keeping mind active also keep problems like Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease at bay”
02 THEMATIC DEVELOPMENT
RETHINK AGEING Rethink Ageing argues on stereotype faced by elderly could be reduced by empowering elderly and instilling awareness in public through intergenerational facilities.
How can intergenerational facilities & age friendly environment empower elderly & educate public to achieve healthy ageing?
To achieve healthy ageing among elderly through empowerment
To study how age friendly environment can empower elderly & To explore on intergenerational facilities that encourage intergenerational engagement.
Healthy ageing is the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age to decrease dependency. Functional ability includes meeting basic needs; to learn, grow and make decision; to be mobile; to build and maintain relationship; and to contribute to society.
AGE FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT Foster health and well being and participation of people as they age; accessible, equitable, inclusive, safe, secure and supportive; provide people centered service and support to enable recovery so that people can continue to do things that are important to them.

DESIGN STRATEGIES
WAYFINDING Older adults experience difficulties with navigating their environment. Floor plan designs significantly support the spatial orientation and wayfinding.
Simple clear layout - a simple clear layout of the floor plan and welldefinied, geomatrically simple rooms are strcutural prerequisites to sucessful orientation and wayfinding. Visual access - all places relevant to them should allow for visual access, making it possible for them to oversee their entire immediate living environment Node Area - located at turning points / landing area where the choices are made available to continue the ramp or side track to other spaces. The nodes serve as spatial wayfinding tools.
RAMP STUDY Ramp design for this building will aid in promotion of walking as a leisure activity. By providing standardised level of difficulty or track grading, user are able to gauge whether a particular track is suitable for them. In Senior LEA-park, ramps are provided at each floor to promote walking. The ramps circulating active zone is mimicking a natural hill with ramp circulating the building with 3 different gradient of ramps. The ramps goes steeper going higher challenging user of different difficulty on walking / hiking.
EXPLODED AXONOMETRIC - SENIOR LEA-PARK
SENSORY STIMULATION DESIGN Sensory stimulation design is a non-pharmacologically treatment for dementia patient. Sensory stimulation refers to different techniques used to stimulate the senses according to Strøm, Ytrehus and Grov (2016). Referring to Sensiks (2017), stimulation of the senses includes sight, touch, taste, smell, sound and movement. The sensory stimulation design should be comfortable, safe, multisensory experience and easily accessible according to Jakob and Collier (2017)
Sensory stimulation care according to Kwong (2017) can be integrated into daily practice fulfilling the needs for environmental stimulation, daily social interaction for a longer-lasting effect on dementia patient. Sensory stimulations can be also obtained through daily life According to Kwong (2017), playing games, and watching movie can stimulate vision and hearing; visiting market can stimulate vision, olfactory and hearing, eating ( yum cha ) with friends can stimulate vision, hearing and taste and massage and grooming can stimulate smell and touch. These activities can directly and indirectly stimulate all senses in our daily life. Sensory Stimulation design provided in Senior LEA-park are walking( movement ) ; sensory garden ( visual, touch, smell, sound& taste); Aroma Therapy ( smell); Art & craft ( sight, touch & movement ) ; Physitherapy ( touch & movement); Library ( sight, perception & memory ); dance studio ( sight, touch, sound & movement ); music therapy ( sound ); Games ( visual, sound, touch ); VR ( perception, memory)
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Older adults should do some type of physical activity every day. Any type of activity is good for you. The more you do the better. Adults aged 65 and over should: - aim to be phyically active every day. Any activity is better than none. The more you do the better, even if it’s just light activity - do activities that improve strength, balance and flexibility on at least 2 days a week - do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity if you are already active, or a combination of both - reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity
Light activity Light activity is moving rather than sitting or lying down. Example : Walking at slow pace, standing up, moving around Moderate Intensity activity Moderate intensity acitvity will raise your heart rate, and make you breathe faster and feel warmer. One wal to tell if you’re working at a moderate intensity level is if you can still talk but not sing Example : Brisk walking, water aerobics, riding a bike, dancing, hiking Implemented : Brisk walking & hiking( ramps ); water aerobic ( pool & aquatherapy ) , Dancing ( dance studio ) Vigorous Intensity activity Vigorous Intensity activity makes you breathe hard and fast. You will not be able to say more than a few words without pausing for breathe. 75 minutes od vigorous intensity activity can give similar health benefits to 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity. Most moderate intensity activities can become vigorous if you increase your effort. Example : Jogging/ running, aerobics, swimming, hiking uphills, martial arts, energetic dancing Implemented : Jogging / running & hiking uphills ( ramps ); swimming ( pool ); martial art ( outdoor exercise area ); energetic dancing ( dance studio ) Strength There are many ways to strengthen muscles, at home or in a gym. Example : Yoga, Pilates, Taichi , weight lifting, own body weight Implemented : Yoga & pilates, Taichi, weight lifting ( gym ) Rehabilitation Rehabilitation is a set of interventions needed when a person is experiencing or is likely to experience limitations in everyday functioning due to ageing or a health condition, including chronic diseases or disorders, injuries or traumas. Rehabilitation can also help to minimize or slow down the disabling effects of chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes by equipping people with self-management strategies and the assistive products they require, or by addressing pain or other complications. 3 main types of rehabilitation therapy, occupational, physical and speech. Physical therapy is commonly used to relieve pain, and improve movement.
Test on Exercise Intensity When being active, just try talking: if your’re breathing hard but still can have a conversation easily, it is moderate-intensity activity. If you can only say a few words before having to take a breath, it’s vigorous-intensity activity.
TYPE OF EXERCISE Most people tend to focus on one type of exercise or activity and think they’re doing enough. Research has shown that it is important to get all 4 types of exercise : Endurance, Strength , Balance and Flexibility. Each one has different benefits. Endurance Endurance activity, often referred as aerobic, increase breathing and heart rates. Endurance exercise improves the health of heart, lungs, and circulatory system. They can also prevent diseases such as diabetes, colon and breast cancer, heart disease. Physical activities that build endurance are: - Brisk Walking ; Dancing ; Swimming ; Biking ; Climbing Stairs or hills - Implementation : Ramps , feature stairs at visible area , dancing studio Strength Strong muscle can help in staying independent, making everday activities feel easier, such as getting up from chair, climbing stairs. Keeping muscle strong can help with balance and prevent falling. Strength exercise include lifting weights, even own body weight and using resisitance band. - Implementation : Gym, HYBRID PLAy-ground, Pocket garden Balance Balance exercise help prevent falls, a common problems in older adults. Many lower-body strength exercises will improve balance. Exercise to improve balance include Taichi, a “ moving meditation� that involves shifting body slowly , gently and percisely. Chair exercise is also a form of balance exercise. - Implementation : Taichi / outdoor activity area , any sittings , pocket garden Flexibility Stretching can improve flexibility. Example or stretching exercise, calf stretch exercise, ankle stretch exercise. - Implementation : Any sittings in Senior LAE-park , pocket garden
DIGITAL LEISURE The incorporation of the elderly into digital leisure has been especially driven by the development of games and applications that link the experience of play with beneficial effects for the user. Some of these benefits arise at a cognitive level, fostering intellectual activity of adults through playful experiences that combine audio-visual entertainment with brain training. Seniors are also engaged by active video games that use control interfaces to perform physical actions or activities, encouraging motor play. Active video games can be an attractive way to introduce healthy life styles in the lives of older people, because they have the physical and cognitive benefits of traditional physical activity and also the intrinsic appeal of video games. With the advances of virtual-reality interaction technology, somatosensory digital games that combine traditional digital games and physical activities become an innovation of providing alternative leisure opportunities for older adults.

A day @ Senior LEA-park So how do elderly learn, empower and stay active through this project? Let explore on how elderly can use this place. This is an overview of elderly a day @ senior leapark. Starting in the morning, senior can have their usual outdoor exercise such as running, cycling around the building, taichi @ mini plaza , square dance @ amphitheatre. After exercising, senior can enjoy breakfast at kopitiam as a bright start @ senior leapark. During weekend, senior can also assist in ageing workshop and gallery to get more public to understand more about senior. During normal weekdays, after breakfast, seniors can opt for classes ranging from educational, artistic or physical activity classes. Taking classes can be a great way to engage in hobbies, learn something new and meet people who have similar interests. For example art & craft classes at art studio, It or language classes @ library, yoga and pilates classes @ wellness studio or get some meditation & therapy. After taking classes, senior can take a rest or having leisure activity and chat @ lounge to get recharged. Mobility is the biggest challenge in senior life on independency. Senior Leapark also provide rehabilitation and physiotherapy for seniors with less mobility. Seniors which are more active can also challenge themselves on their strength, flexibility, endurance and balancing @ gym. Senior LEA-park will be an age friendly environment allowing healthy ageing, where elderly can foster health and well being, participation in learning and training, build and maintain relationship and to contribute to society.
