Abstract

Under the environment of aging problem, the Chinese government attaches importance to the adaptive design of infrastructure and built environment for the aging population. Among them, the architectural space, as the benchmark element of the society at the material level, has become the mainstream place for ageing-adapted design and renovation, and the design and renovation of the internal guidance system of the space has become the key point, which reflects the humanistic care of the society for the elderly population. Through the investigation of the existing design of the visual guide system in Chinese urban architectural space, it can be found that there are such undesirable situations as cumbersome content, serious symbolisation, poor visual rationality and neglect of the psychological needs of the elderly population. Therefore, this study explores the design of ageing visual guide systems in Chinese urban architectural spaces under the guidance of the ageing-friendly design approach, starting from the principles of rationality, artistry and popularity.
