Summary/Abstract: The current trend of population ageing leads to a significant increase in age-related conditions, including in the number of people with neurocognitive disorders (NCDs), with Alzheimer’s disease being one of the best known causes of NCDs. In this context, dementia-friendly architecture(DFA)/for people with NCDs is being discussed. The current COVID-19 pandemic brings new challenges in caring for people with NCDs, in maintaining an optimal quality of life and reasonable well-being, challenges to which architecture can respond through specific architectural tools.
