Chapter 1 Mindmap
My group is given the topic called 'Collective Living Spaces'. In this chapter 1 mindmap, we define collective living spaces as a shared common space where two or more people who are either related or unrelated stay together. We further define the phrase 'stay together' as not necessarily living under the same house but more of enjoying one another's company by spending time and doing activities together; like sleeping, eating, playing, learning and so on. We also try to find out about the types of housing in Singapore to analyse whether we can possibly use those type of housings for creating our end solution. They are categorized as HDB flat, Public/Private Hybrids and Landed Property.
Our target audience is elderly aged 65 and above. We further categorize the elderly into healthy elderly, disabled/sick elderly, elderly with family but not staying together, elderly without family whether they are single or married. Then, we also search on existing collective living spaces for elderly. They are Old Folks' Home, Nursing Home and 'Group Homes' Concept.
Next, we brainstorm to find the problems the elderly will face when they are staying together in a collective living space. The problems are having no privacy, getting bullied, difficulty in separating rights and responsibility egually and so on.
This is our final chapter 1 mindmap.
