AGING IN PLACE (AIP)HOME DESIGN &AGINGCANADIAN PERSPECTIVES AND GLOBAL TRENDSCOLLABORATIVE DESIGN IN AN AGING WORLD
aging in placeReading from Cambridge Handbook of Age and Ageing, Malcolm Lewis Johnson
Background / overview of aging in place as well as traditional and current care options from a global perspective
•Challenges•Variations•Historical evolution•Gendered patterns
CHALLENGES:• Rapid growth of older populations in most nations•People are living longer•Baby Boomers are less willing to leave their familial homes• Services (in general) available to create healthy, safe, quality of life experiences•Responsibility of family members•Maintaining independence
aging in placeVARIATIONS•Social, political, economic implications that vary by country (province / state)•Geography – location, neighborhood programs and proximity / accessibility to care outside of the home•Health of the individual – careful consideration given to needs assessment•Economics – financial assistance, government or state subsidized programs•The role architects and designers can play – integration of local codes, regulations, social norms, family structures
aging in placeHISTORIC AL EVOLUTION•Cultural norms, traditions, religious practice – examples - China, and India•Responsibility of the family to support and foster the aging process•Evolution of home services
GENDERED PATTERNS•Role of the female in the home•Females (statistically) living longer•Females account for the highest population of dementia and Alzheimer's disease
home design & aging•Interplay between aging and home design•Differences between the seven most rapidly aging nations in the world(Brazil, China, India, Israel, Japan, Sweden and the United States) – sharing and learning from each other while preserving cultural integrity•The role of technology •The importance of support and human interaction (and the variety of senior housing options)•What constitutes ‘good’ options for geriatric-appropriate housing – design driven care options and solutions

residential dwelling

How can design impact each of these spaces?How can design preserve culture and tradition?How can design best utilize technology in residential spaces?
canadian perspectives & global trends
STATISTICS AND FACTS•We live in an aging world•According to the United Nations in 1950 older people (over 65 years of age) made up 8% of the world’s population by
2050 that number is estimated to rise to 21%That means an estimated two billion people
• Is Canada prepared for this?•Will the elderly population in this country be well cared for?•The aging population is migrating toward urban centers•There is a strong desire for independence•More women working professionals•Retirement age – people are working later in life
canadian perspectives & global trends
STATISTICS AND FACTSCare facilities in Canada are (retirement living, assisted living, adult care facilities, etc.):•Costly•Not always available (more bodies than beds)•Designed to meet the individual and specific needs of the patient? •Growing education and research into aging •As Canadians age – many wish to AGE IN PLACE
There are obvious pros and cons to this growing trend – interior design can be a catalyst for safe and healthy environments
Healthcare design is a growing field
collaborative design in an aging world
•Products, ideas and information is being created and shared on a global level•Architects and designers have greater access to developing trends•Australia and Scotland are leading the way in research and design innovations for the aging population•Technology will continue to be a factor in innovative modern aging environments•Seniors across the world are getting involved and sharing information through email, websites and blogs – driven by a ‘quest for community’ (peer produced groups are producing suggestions and new ideas for standards and blueprints for optimal aging solutions)•A new hybrid – Local / Global solutions for aging
