L’envelliment a casa és una de les modalitats més explorada en estudis d’habitatge i gerontologia, però la viabilitat depèn de la configuració espacial, i hi ha tipologies d’habitatges que poden respondre adequadament a necessitats d’autonomia i contacte social. Un parell d’habitatges superposats, per exemple, poden oferir suport sòcio-funcional a prop d’un familiar o veí conegut. Però d’altres dificulten l’envelliment en aquesta modalitat, com ara una casa unifamiliar de dos pisos, que sol tenir estretes escales que obstaculitzen la connexió amb la zona íntima de la planta superior. Al llarg del treball s’observen 18 casos d’habitatges i els seus residents adults grans, documentats amb fotografies, registre espacial amb plànols sintètics, entrevista a la persona i càlcul d’índexs gerontològics. L’aixecament ofereix un conjunt de dades que permet observar la simbiosi persona i ambient domèstic, facilitant la identificació de desafiaments que els espais solen imposen als usuaris quan arriben a edat avançada. Com a resultat es té una exploració tipològica d’habitatge des de la perspectiva gerontològica, reconeixent estructures espacials d’acord amb el tipus de resposta davant noves demandes específiques dels seus usuaris, recollida en una proposta de nomenclatura. En conclusió, ofereix una mirada qualitativa a la possible adaptabilitat del parc actual d’habitatge de Guadalajara, a Mèxic. Aging at home is one of the most explored modalities in housing and gerontology studies. Still, its viability depends on spatial configuration, and there are housing typologies that can adequately respond to needs for autonomy and social contact. A pair of overlapping dwellings, for example, can offer socio-functional support near a family member or known neighbor. However, others make aging difficult in this modality, such as a two-story single-family house, which often has narrow stairways that hinder connection to the intimate area on the upper floor. Throughout the work, 18 cases of dwellings and their elderly residents are observed, and documented with photographs, spatial registration with synthetic plans, interviews with the person, and calculation of gerontological indexes. The survey yields a set of data that allows observing the symbiosis between the person and the domestic environment, facilitating the identification of the challenges that spaces usually impose on their users when they reach advanced age. The result is a typological exploration of housing from a gerontological perspective, recognizing spatial structures according to the type of response to new specific demands of its users, collected in a nomenclature proposal. In conclusion, we offer a qualitative look at the possible adaptability of the current housing stock in Guadalajara, Mexico. El envejecimiento en casa es una de las modalidades más explorada en estudios de vivienda y gerontología, pero su viabilidad depende de la configuración espacial, y hay tipologías habitacionales que pueden responder adecuadamente a necesidades de autonomía y contacto social. Un par de viviendas superpuestas, por ejemplo, puede ofrecer apoyo socio-funcional en cercanía de un familiar o vecino conocido. Pero otras dificultan el envejecimiento en esta modalidad, como una casa unifamiliar de dos pisos, que suele tener estrechas escaleras que obstaculizan la conexión con la zona íntima de la planta superior. A lo largo del trabajo se observan 18 casos de viviendas y sus residentes adultos mayores, siendo documentadas con fotografías, registro espacial con planos sintéticos, entrevista a la persona y cálculo de índices gerontológicos.

ACE Arquitectura Ciudad y Entorno

"Architecture, City and Environment" is the name, whose three words reflect the open spirit of this journal dedicated to the study, from the broadest perspective of human habitat, both in its macro and micro levels, as well in its technological and social sense. ACE is a window for the diffusion of the different disciplines that carry out the architectural, urbanistic and territorial investigations. It is open to new study approaches and designed to disseminate the results in the languages that are familiar to us and that, without forgetting English, we must strengthen.   ACE will be spreaded by especialized media diffusion (Universities, Investigation centers, I+D enterprise departments, etc.) of advanced investigations in the following fields:    Architectonic and urban heritage: Restoration, rehabilitation and intervention of architectonic and urban heritage.  Urban History: Historical evolution analysis of cities, of its physical, economic, social, cultural transformations. Principles and methods evolution for urban planning and land and urban management.  Urban and land studies: Urban and land structure analysis. Cities system and metropolitan areas. Urbanization and building models and morphologies.  Planning and land and city management: Land and urban planning, urban management and planning execution.  Land politics and housing: Landuse, generation and recovering of plusvalues, housing planning and social integral housing, etc.
