Quality living in old age is one of the key topics of our time. Architecture and the building industry contribute innovative forms of living, intelligent concepts and individual solutions for people with physical or cognitive limitations. Integrative forms of housing and living emerge from sophisticated design solutions, transcending the boundaries between individual, collective and assisted forms of living. This updated new edition includes an additional introductory article on programming and six new and current international case studies in the chapter on integrated housing and neighbourhood concepts.
