简述：

“落叶归根”的另一个解是：因为老人们通常对近期事物会很快忘记，但年轻时的经历却相对清晰，所以他们年轻时居住空间的记忆在他们生理衰老的过程中却相对清晰，会令他们在这里倍感亲切。

挑战：

怎样的养老社区形态适合北京本地老人？

应该和他们年轻时居住环境有关，而不是完全照搬美日。因为通常随着人的变老，近期事物会很快忘记，但年轻时的经历却相对清晰，包括曾经居住的环境。

另一方面，即使生活在活力型养老社区，一些老人也很少离开自己房间。不过根据研究，幸福感更多源自积极的社区融入。

解决：

四合院是那些本地老人们年轻时典型的居住空间，本案将多个的四合院组团改造成一个连贯的封闭建筑。连廊和敞开的院子都被幕墙封闭从而加大了活动空间，阳光更多地被引入到室内，从室内又能看到更多老房子的样子。

过去胡同里户外下棋和挑水果摊的场景在室内被营造出来；音乐课室也搬出在院子中间；还有两层楼高的图书馆建在过去的胡同口的前广场

…

这些既室内又室外的空间吸引着长者们来参加各种公共活动，同时也在养老“去机构化”进程中向前迈进了一步。

Puwan CCRC 

Brief statement: 

Puwan Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a specialized design for senior citizens native to Beijing. It is free of an institutional look and is centered around the idea that old people have relatively poor short-term memory, but they can clearly remember things that they experienced when they were young.

Challenge: 

The public area of Puwan Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is a specialized design for Beijing born and bred senior citizens. The space has been contextualized to reflect the area these citizens lived in when they were young. However, the design of almost all CCRCs in China has simply been copied from those in the US or Japan. Often, the elderly have relatively poor short-term memory, but they can clearly remember things that they experienced when they were young, including experiences in their former homes. Some senior citizens prefer to stay in their rooms rather than to engage in the public activities in the retirement community. 

Solution: 

A siheyuan is a historical type of residence in Beijing. This was a basic dwelling used by natives of Beijing when they were young. All the groups of ancient siheyuan buildings, courtyards and pathways have been covered with curtain wall and, as a result, have been fully integrated into one larger building in this project. The spaces have been extended and the deeper buildings have been brightened by the introduction of natural light. From the inside, the residents can better see the ancient roofs and facades of the buildings. Various social spaces, originally outside of the streets, have been created inside, such as an area where the elderly can play chess, a fruit stall and space to engage in conversation with others. In addition, a music room has been moved to a small courtyard and a two-storey library has been constructed in a larger courtyard. The elderly in Beijing have experienced many types of apartments in past decades and are attracted by ‘fresh’ memories within ancient siheyuan buildings full of the stories of their youth. The design for the CCRC stays away from an institutional feel.
