Design for elderly people in Albania

This article documents an experience of research and teaching on Social Design and Inclusive Design developed through a cooperation between Polis University and the Department of Architecture of the University of Ferrara. A workshop about ''Design for elderly people in Albania'' has been coordinated by a team of Professors from both Universities. Keeping in mind that the number of older people all over the world and, specifically in Europe, is growing constantly, and that the social structure and behavior is changing, this workshop tried to explore design solutions and models that are proposing improved schemes of lifestyle by promoting independent, safe, usable and attractive design for elderly people.
