Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities confronts
urgent architectural design challenges within residential innovation,
ageing communities and healthcare environments. The increasing and
diversified demands on the housing market today call for alterability
and adaptability in long term solutions for new integrated ways of
residing. Meanwhile, an accentuated ageing society requires new
residential ways of living, combining dignity, independence and
appropriate care. Concurrently, profound changes in technical
conditions for home healthcare require rethinking healing
environments. This edited collection explores the dynamics between
these integrated architectural and caring developments and intends to
envision reconfigured environmental design patterns that can
significantly enhance new forms of welfare and ultimately, an improved
quality of life. This book identifies, presents, and articulates new
qualities in designs, in caring processes, and healing atmospheres,
thereby providing operational knowledge developed in close
collaboration with academics, actors and stakeholders in architecture,
design, and healthcare. This is an ideal read for those interested in
health promotive situations of dwelling, ageing and caring.
