At next week’s Community Meeting
<https://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Community+workshops+and+design+crits>
( Dec 13, 2023 ), Jenna Mikes will be talking about Eudaemonic Design as a
Co-created Approach to Health and Well-being: An Exemplar Case with Older
Adults at Home.
Description:
Home is central to who we are as humans. It shapes us. At a time when
COVID-19-related physical distancing has prompted a global live/work/play from
home pervasiveness, there is a growing demand to conceptualize how homes can
encourage flourishing health and well-being. Developing this understanding is
especially necessary when contemplating the impact on vulnerable demographics,
such as the rapidly growing older adult population who desire to age-in-place
but do not necessarily have the infrastructure and support needed to do so.
Based on co-designed futuring activities conducted with older adults and
designers, this research focuses on understanding what a flourishing home could
look and feel like when building on the neo-Aristotelian concept of eudaemonia
(literally defined as eu (good or health) + daimon (true self)), which
correlates to people being the best versions of themselves. Eudaemonic
well-being has evolved in the field of psychology as a means of proactively
designing for flourishing health and well-being via Self Determination Theory,
but it has yet to be explored in a built environment context. By considering
eudaemonia as a worldview, this research examines how home-based design can
prompt optimal health and well-being—not only by applying the resulting
Eudaemonic Design model and principles to the home environment but also by
following a respectful design approach to precipitate virtually-engaged
participants to feel empowered, experience agency, and act as their best
eudaemonic selves.
