The Wellness Path

To foster a relationship with biophilia and encourage walking for both physical and mental well-being in order to enhance the health and wellness of the elderly. The design focuses on landscape and connect with nature as elderly seem to have a connect with biophilia. It also fosters to inclusive design, age friendly spaces and interaction with other age groups. In integrating biophilic design elements within the landscape, the focus extends beyond aesthetics to encompass sensory experiences. Engaging the elderly through textured pathways, aromatic gardens, and interactive installations promotes a multi-sensory journey, fostering a deeper connection with nature. Incorporating seating areas encourages social interaction among different age groups, creating a vibrant community space where shared experiences and knowledge exchange thrive. Embracing inclusive design principles ensures accessibility for all, enabling everyone to partake in the rejuvenating and enriching benefits of this harmonious natural environment.
