NAZUZA is an activity area designed for public gardens aimed at encouraging the elderly to get out of the house and keep up with posture improving exercises. Balance is crucial, particularly for senior citizens, and posture exercises reduce the risk of falling and promote healthy aging. The project stemmed from the belief that posture and human interaction in public gardens is important to the health and general wellbeing of the elderly. NAZUZA addresses these issues and was motivated by the hope of preventing the exclusion of the elderly from the public sphere while promoting the welfare and quality of life of this population.
This exercise device is designed for posture exercises. Working with professionals, I focused on three simple and easy-to-complete exercises that do not include scoring or competition but instead focus on increasing the repertoire of possible actions in the future.
