Fragile memory

Alzheimer’s is a disease whose subtleties are difficult to understand. While we know that the disease has an impact on memory and language, we have also become aware of its influence on the perception and understanding of spaces. The difficulties brought about by the disease cause upheavals in the daily lives of those affected. As spatial designers, we are constantly considering this relationship between space and the individuals who occupy it.But what can Alzheimer’s disease reveal to us and how can it teach us about designing the healthcare spaces allocated to it?
