Abstract

This paper aims to compare the architectural design standards of elderly care facilities in China and Spain, and explore their similarities and differences. By collecting a large amount of literature and using comparative analysis method, the development process, content characteristics, staffing, functional configuration, and area indicators of elderly care facilities in China and Spain are compared. Significant differences in the architectural design standards of elderly care facilities between China and Spain were found. Therefore, this study summarizes the conclusions and experiences of comparative research, in order to provide reference for the future development, improvement, updating, and direction of Chinese architectural design standards and related specifications for elderly care facilities.
