Nowhere is this demographic shift being felt more seismically than in the healthcare and living environments serving our aging population. Yes, it’s a challenge, but it’s also a tremendous opportunity – to re-envision, design and build a new generation of “age-friendly” care and living environments. Now in its seventh year, our Design for Healthy Aging workshop will provide you with not just a glimpse into that future, but the research, resources, tools and best practices to help get you there.

Design can promote healing in healthcare environments, contribute to good mental health, reduce gun violence, and positively impact health and racial equity, all of which contribute to providing a more peaceful world. In her new book, Peace by Design, design thought-leader Mardelle Shepley discusses the definition of design and design thinking, and evidence regarding the direct and indirect contributions of design to peace. This webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear from Mardelle and three of the book’s contributing authors, Troy Savage of Mazzetti, Erin K. Peavey of HKS, Inc. architects and The Center's Rosalyn Cama, for a thoughtful and multi-faceted discussion on the role that designers, academics, and practitioners can have to achieve maximum societal contribution.
