The brief
The question behind the work.
Subin Philipose Mathew’s thesis, *Alzheimer’s Day Care Center: Fostering Patient Independence*, explores how design can enhance autonomy for individuals with Alzheimer’s. The project focuses on clear wayfinding, sensory engagement, and a homely atmosphere to reduce confusion and anxiety. Thoughtful material selection, including **parquet laminate flooring**, ensures safety and warmth, while biophilic elements like courtyards and natural light promote well-being. The design also accommodates caregivers with dedicated respite areas. By showcasing this work on LinkedIn, Subin aims to highlight the role of interior design in dementia care and position himself for new opportunities in the industry.
