- Older Women's Housing in the Inner West
Bachelors of Architecture Studio 5B Jiawei HUANG 500034125 Tutor：Eddie Ma
CONTENT
The design revolves around creating a stable and secure complex of units for elderly women in need in the INNER WEST. The complex integrates production, residential, commercial and other facilities, focuses on meeting the living needs of the elderly, focuses on sustainable ecology, community awareness and other aspects, and is designed around the community's sustainable vegetable garden. The design is people-oriented and meets the needs of the community and individuals. The design integrates with nature and transforms the existing landscape and its characteristic river into a recreational space, providing a harmonious interaction space for residents

Productive pension means that elderly can properly engage in produtives activities and get a certain reture on income while maintaining good health. In the course of visiting old people's houses, I found that many of local low-income residents spontaneously carry out planting activities, which have changed the quality of their living. So if they can be provided with productive pension communities that bring income supplement whether it can fundamentally change their quality of life
SPONTANEOUS CUITIVATION
In the process of visiting different old people, I found that many old people planted fruits and vegetables in their homes. In urban residential areas, it can be found that some public green areas are reclaimed as vegetable gardens, which not only causes a lot of neighborhood conflicts, but also affects the beauty of the city due to the lack of reasonable planning
SUPPLEMENT
HEALTHY OLD PEOPLE
Melons, fruits and vegetables are the main landscape plant species applied in the appropriate urban public space, creating a new landscape experience mode to give viewers a fresh sense of vision. Urban gardens satisfy urbanites' yearning for nature, while bringing vitality to the community through planting chain, so that the elderly and the community have more connection, no longer out of social
