 Design for
Aging Review, a biannual competition, showcases facilities that
improve quality of life for the aging while exhibiting innovation
in their design and execution.
The Design for Aging Review program, a joint effort of the AIA and
the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging,
includes a juried exhibition, a companion book, and education
programs. The program encompasses a broad view of facilities
designed for senior citizens, including nursing homes, dementia
care, assisted living, and continuing care retirement communities.
This year's program included three new subcategories: special
features, research projects, and sustainable building solutions.
The projects are chosen for inclusion by a panel of jurors, which
included architects, facility managers, and care
providers.
The Design for Aging Review seeks not only to demonstrate
architectural design trends and recognize excellence but also to
serve as a reference for providers, developers, users, advocates,
architects, and other design professionals in this growing market.
Since the competition began in 1992, more than 300 facilities,
domestic and international, have participated in the review.
