Space to Place

This study examines the concept of place through the lens of ageism by employing neuroarchitectural approaches to investigate visual complexity. Therefore, it develops a detailed understanding of how older adults perceive visual complexity in urban environments using an instrument called CLARITY. The study utilizes a mixed-methods strategy, analysing the visual complexity of the selected urban environments using CLARITY and conducting semi-structured interviews together with a rating scale. For this purpose, older adults evaluated the visual complexity of selected urban environments and provided information on their overall well-being.
