Elderly Peoples Home
An old age home is usually the place, a home for those
old people who have no one to look after them or
those who have been thrown out of their homes by
their children. The place is of course like home where
the inmates get all the facilities for a routine living, like
food, clothing, medicine and shelter.

Who are elderly peoples?
Old age comprises "the later part of life; the period of life after youth and middle age.
usually with reference to deterioration". At what age old age begins cannot be
universally defined because it differs according to the context. The United Nations has
agreed that 65+ years may be usually denoted as old age and this is the first attempt
at an international definition of old age. However, for its study of old age in Africa,
the World Health Organization (WHO) set 55 as the beginning of old age. At the
same time, the WHO recognized that the developing world often defines old age, not
by years, but by new roles, loss of previous roles, or inability to make active
contributions to society.
Most developed Western countries set the age of 60 to 65 for retirement. In
Bangladesh For men, the minimum age is 65 years and the minimum age for women is
62 years as the beginning of old age.

The exterior is abstract and hard, as the
environment. A seemingly insurmountable
barrier, a shell to protect the interior that
becomes kind, warm and complex. The
external severe geometry contrasts with the
inner complexity. The rooms are generated as
small cells that clump together organically
around the courtyard, creating interstitials
and areas of relation, both to the courtyard
itself as the interior.
