Week 0: Website Development
My original plan was to work with the neighborhood
current and historic analysis and to create a
diagrammatic model with my findings during the break.
When I was going to start with these tasks I realized
that in order to institute the contextualization elements
of my thesis I had to create a medium to document
and express what the thesis represents. Since I like
web design and I know how fast information moves in
the Internet, I decided to create a website.
ArquiTalks.com is a comprehensive website with the
purpose of uniting all the areas of my investigation.
My contextualization includes three main elements (1)
community development power by residents; (2)
positive benefits of intergenerational communities,
and; (3) support systems for accessible housing. In
other words, all these concepts have to be achieved in
order to adequately house the elders.
The website will allow me, as a Norvella Heights
resident, to start a community redevelopment effort.
In which I will investigate the importance of my
involvement in the process. The benefits of the
intergenerational communities will be represented by
the various people accessing the website and
providing their feedback. I have to say that personal
interaction can never be replaced by cyber chatting,
but a metaphor between the two can be established.
That is why the areas in which the personal
interactions occur need to be accessible to all ages.
In the past many have created a diversity of options
for accessible housing, but it is time to integrate those
units to the rest of the community development.
