| dc.description.abstract | The aging of populations is generating reflection challenges for science and societies. Despite notable efforts in the technical solutions legislation and the population's awareness of the inclusion of the elders, it's easy to notice that in the design of buildings there are still difficulties in integrating the elderly into architecture. Western society is basing itself on young people, even though the elderly population gradually takes over in terms of the number of individuals. The patterns in the architectural design are embedded in dimensions and connections established by norms and regulations for a minimum space of human conformation. The standards that are considered ideal and unrealistic regarding the natural flow of human aging, ask the question of the non-visibility of the old body. What if the ideal body was one that has already crossed the barriers of time? If the core of the representations was in the body which remained alive, which slowly changed, but which still vibrates within a social core which persists in denying its existence? When they are designed to promote well-being, the buildings become fully appropriated by their inhabitants and become instruments of interaction for everyone, from children to the elderly. The building transposes its material function, expressing meaning and meaning to its occupation. Thus, it is necessary to develop more inclusive parameters where the elderly are taken into account, by inserting models of human representation that affect the population more broadly. Through bibliographical research and with a deductive method, this article intends to raise questions that seem ignored in the process of architectural design and evidences an invisibility of the permanence of the body of the eldest in the built environment | pt |
