ABSTRACT

With the arrival of China's aging society, the demand for old-age care facilities construction is becoming increasingly prominent. Aging building facilities and elderly care services have become research hotspots. The aging building is the elderly building, the residential buildings and public buildings for the elderly, should provide convenient facilities and services for the elderly. The skin design in the aging building is very important to create a living environment suitable for the elderly. Through the study of the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly, the paper extracts eight environmental influencing factors. The skin design of aging buildings is related to eight influencing factors, such as man-machine interface interaction, indoor thermal environment, light environment, acoustic environment, air environment, wet environment, color environment, color environment, and inner skin hygiene and cleanliness. This paper discusses the association between eight influencing factors and epidermis design in aging buildings, and gives detailed design suggestions.
