Theory

In pathophysiology, Alzheimer’s can be simply understand as nutritions and other core elements being blocked by congestion in the brain. In my design, I create forms showing the congestion, to add softness in order to use how Alzheimer’s disease forms to relief their symptoms.

The changes in behavior caused by Alzheimer’s is the most challenging and distressing effect of the disease. People can easily get irritated, anxious and depressed. Therefore, I create an comfortable living space to relief their stress as much as possible, as a treatment to people with Alzheimer’s.
