About this ebook
The Architectures of Ageing in Place (1st Edition), edited by Anuradha Chatterjee, focuses on design and policy innovations that allow older adults to live independently and safely within integrated, urban high-rise and medium-rise communities. [1, 2, 3]
The book moves away from age-segregated housing models to examine how purpose-built or retrofitted buildings support the well-being, quality of life, intergenerational exchange, and social citizenship of senior citizens. The core topics covered are organized into three primary sections: [1, 2]
Part 1: Present Ecosystems
This section explores existing urban architectures and how they adapt to support aging demographics. [1]
  • Retrofitting Modern Architecture: Examines the challenges and methods of upgrading existing modern housing stock to support aging in place, with a specific case study on Lisbon, Portugal. [1]
  • Spatial Justice in NORCs: Focuses on co-creating equitable spaces in high-rise "Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities" (NORCs), featuring field research from Manchester, UK. [1]
  • Spatial Agency and Flexibility: Looks at how older adults dynamically utilize and adapt their existing housing spaces in Sweden. [1]
Part 2: Novel Structures
This part evaluates new, purpose-built housing types and their social performance across diverse global landscapes. [1, 2]
  • Integrated Community Housing: Explores high-rise public and private sector community models designed for senior citizens in Singapore.
  • Post-Occupancy Evaluation: Uses primary data to assess how senior housing developments in India perform relative to their occupants' everyday needs.
  • High-Rise Apartment Living: Compares case studies of older adults navigating vertical living spaces in New Zealand.
  • Modern Almshousing and Homemaking: Features ethnographic studies on how senior residents establish a sense of home within newly built almshouses in Central London. [1, 2]
Part 3: Futures Reimagined
The final segment looks forward to upcoming design frameworks, systemic updates, and changing needs. [1]
  • Residential Experiences and Projections: Analyzes the physical choices, adjustments, and expectations of future aging populations as they look to modify their environments. [1]
  • Systemic Interventions: Explores alternative, anti-institutional architectural movements and models (such as "Aging Against the Machine") to challenge standard senior-care infrastructure. [1]
