Architecture dementia wandering architecture visual perception cognitive mapping Dementia is a term for a loss of memory and mental processes and is a condition most associated with the elderly. As dementia progresses and the brain deteriorates, a behavioral phenomenon known as wandering often occurs. Memories and mental thought may fade but movement through space remains. Analysis of how we cognitively map our environment and perceive the world is investigated to better understand how a person who can not create a mental map on their own may function and react to the space around them. The architecture of a place can influence these reactions and inspire pause and re-direction . This project explores environmental cues and employs principles associated with sensory perception to create a desire to travel rather than a stressful compulsion. A special care center for the persistent wanderer will utilize these findings to assist in navigating and transitioning through space with the intent to help ease transition of the mind. 2017-09-29 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1491313542985107 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1491313542985107 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
