We the students of Pearl Academy, Noida are extremely fortunate as we got an opportunity to research and work on an old age home for our module project. The project focuses on going to a site, analysing the place, identifying problems and developing design solutions for it. Since we got an old age home as our subject, after visiting a numerous homes we finalised St. Mary's Old Aged Home. One of the main reason to select this place was that it is historical and was built in the pre independence period. It is located in Tees Hazari. Most of the women living there have been working in the St. Stephens Hospital since their retirement which is located nearby. The women living there are so interactive and have always been cooperative to us. We are really looking forward to learn a lot from these ladies throughout our project.
The main aim of this project is to create and develop learner's sensitivity as a designer and then encourage them to take the responsibility in identifying issues faced by society and culture in a macro/micro environment. We are gonna use basic research methods to collect information and then apply design process to formulate potential design proposals and solutions.
