Poor design for the "benefit" of the elderly

The Discomforts of Home: Reversible-Destiny Lofts by Arakawa and Gins: new architecture in Japan intentionally creates a poorly-designed experience to keep elderly residents on their toes. Bizarre.

(P.S. What's really poorly designed is the gray-on-white text on that article page!)
