ABSTRACT

With the increase of social population, intergenerational relationship has become a social issue. As a form of space, living space carries an important function of intergenerational communication. Under the perspective of "intergenerational symbiosis", this study takes the living space as the research object, using the methods of architectural typology and case study, divides the living space into "complete cohabitation", "semi- cohabitation" and " complete separation". This paper summarizes the spatial organization of each type and related practical experiences, with a view to providing reference and inspiration for the design of future living spaces.
