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.

Profound transformations in residential practices are emerging in
Europe as well as throughout the urban world. They can be observed
in the unfolding diversity of residential architecture and
spatially restructured cities. The complexity of urban and societal
processes behind these changes requires new research approaches in
order to fully grasp the significant changes in citizens
lifestyles, their residential preferences, capacities and future
opportunities for implementing resilient residential practices. The
international case studies in this book examine why ways of
residing have changed as well as the meaning and the significance
of the social, economic, political, cultural and symbolic contexts.
The volume brings together an interdisciplinary range of
perspectives to reflect specifically upon the dynamic exchange
between evolving ways of residing and professional practices in the
fields of architecture and design, planning, policy-making,
facilities management, property and market. In doing so, it
provides a resourceful basis for further inquiries seeking an
understanding of ways of residing in transformation as a reflection
of diversifying residential cultures. This book will offer insights
of interest to academics, policy-makers and professionals as well
as students of urban studies, sociology, architecture, housing,
planning, business and economics, engineering and facilities
management.
