摘要

This paper presents an account of how older people living in the UK today furnish and use the main 'public' space for daytime activities in their home; the living room. The furniture arrangements in the living rooms of sixty older people living in a wide variety of house types and tenures was examined, to see how household artefacts were used to differentiate each room into areas for different domestic activities. It was found that, when arranging their living room furniture, older people adopted one of two strategies; a centrifugal tendency that pushed all the furniture to the walls leaving the centre of the room clear for circulation, or a sequenced approach that created a series of sub-spaces within the room. Few if any used 'designerly' principles to orientate the room or to arrange their furniture and possessions. Extensive comparison with over three hundred examples of all types of housing in which older people in the UK were living in the late 1990s, led to the identification of two distinct stereotypes, for family homes and 'sheltered' (purpose-built) housing respectively. Configurational analysis of plans using 'space syntax' revealed that family housing in the UK embodied a strong 'privacy gradient' that separated and related social and intimate areas of the home. In the sheltered housing this privacy gradient was eliminated, presumably on the assumption that the older occupant would be living alone. However, most of our older informants did not perceive themselves to be alone, but interdependent with others. They therefore experienced the sheltered housing stereotype as ageist and demeaning. It emerged that the incorporation of a sequence of sub-spaces within the living room was a strategy by which older people were able to reinstate a privacy gradient within their home, so that it continued to reflect their relatedness to others.
