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.

This book contributes to the studies on learning processes
occurring outside "traditional" socialization settings such as
family and school, by analysing civic and political participation
and learning experiences. In this perspective, the book delves into
the connections between the concepts of learning and participation
and, in various ways and from different perspectives, critically
interrogates learning and participation as interrelated phenomena,
with the aim of revealing complexities implicated in pathways to
adulthood. Being interdisciplinary in its nature (contributors come
from disciplinary backgrounds such as educational sciences, child
and youth studies, social work, sociology and political science),
the volume provides an up-to date analysis of contemporary issues
connected to youth participation and learning. The work taps into
central areas of everyday life of young people and youth
meaning-making and generates and presents qualitative knowledge
about what it means to be young in Europe today.
