Over the course of the semester, this project created fertile ground for the development of intergenerational relationships through design. By fostering a dialogue between children and seniors with Alzheimer's, the project demonstrated how shared creative practices can support connection, care and mutual curiosity.
Its strength lies in a strong connection to context: every design decision emerged from direct observation and engagement with the participants, resulting in a solution closely attuned to their needs and environment. The project highlights design not only as a tool for creating artifacts, but as a process capable of facilitating relationships and meaningful exchange.
Looking ahead, the project opens up possibilities for further development, including new forms of visual and craft-based dialogue, shared activities and the activation of outdoor spaces.
