    I’m a recent graduate in landscape architecture currently undertaking a research project into how design can make a difference to the treatment of people with Alzheimer’s Disease.
    Does anyone know of any projects or studies that relate to this area. I’ve found quite a lot of information but the more the better,
    thanks,

    An architecture project currently underway that you can look at is The Lou Ruvo Brain Institute designed by Frank Gehry. You should be able to find some of their research criteria. It looks pretty cool but I question whether his wacky design helps or aggravates brain disorders.

    Here is an article on it.
