  • DESIGN AS THERAPY: FACILITATING THE LIVES OF THOSE WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN Jenny Willatt Arquitectura design dementia Alzheimer's environment The aim of this research was to combine research methods with the architectural design process in order to put forward a current and relevant proposal for a supportive environment for people with Alzheimer¿s disease, their family and carers. A review of the literature identified the environmental design features considered most relevant to the topic. Visits to and analysis of three 'exemplary' London-based dementia facilities revealed further design issues first-hand, whilst testing how successfully the features identified in the literature review are integrated into these designs. User preferences were identified through first-hand conversations with patients' relatives and nursing staff and by consulting conversation threads in Alzheimer's forums. 2011 artículo científico 0718-204X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=281722876002 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2817 Revista AUS application/pdf Universidad Austral de Chile Revista AUS (Chile) Num.9
