Abstract
Design valences can contribute on promoting inclusive environments, especially for elderly people, in the deconstruction of the built environment, through inclusive design and user-centred design, in promoting more senses oriented solutions. Elderly increasing numbers worldwide represent reinforced attentions. There is no specific model for answering to all needs and cases. Each case is a case. So, new approaches and studies need to be raised for responding to this challenge in order to promote inclusivity, that is to say places to be used by all. The integration of design strategies and studies can raise new approaches, a more conscientious view of this latent problem and deliver new visions and concepts, along with an understanding of elderly difficulties and aging impairments. The environment is to what we give meaning, by defining our sensed world. This meaning is how we create our own world.
