CRN: 10655
Credits: 3
This seminar explores how global aging is impacting on all aspects of design, but especially on the design of “Home.” This includes renovations, and additions necessary to make “Home” and community more Senior-Friendly. Technology, social media, and social norms all play a part in this process. Case-studies and comparisons are drawn from worldwide examples of design for aging populations. Note: Students enrolled in this seminar will be asked to “Gerontologize” a meaningful slice of their own Senior Project as part of their grade.
