Synopsis

Architectures of Ageing in Place provides curated critical perspectives, from a practice-based research point of view, of buildings that are purpose built and/or refurbished to accommodate housing and care needs of older people aging in place in high rise/medium rise integrated communities.

This book identifies design innovations, in line with policy innovations, that have been made across private and public sectors to accommodate wellbeing and quality of life of older people living in integrated communities, that continue to foster intergenerational dialogue and exchange, and advance social citizenship. Case studies from a diverse range of geographies are examined including Portugal, Singapore, India, New Zealand, UK, Sweden, Belgium and the United States. Chapters are grounded in evidence-based research including substantial primary data and post-occupancy evaluation, specifically the evaluation of architecture's 'social performance'. Projects highlight high-rise / medium-rise as an emerging and successful typology in accommodating residential and care needs of older people.

Taking a broad, interdisciplinary approach, this book will be a helpful reference not only for architects, designers and urban planners but also students and practitioners in health and social care, gerontology/ageing, and medical sociology.
