With Gen Z creatives entering the industry, Millennials driving design innovation, and Gen X leaders managing communities, a cultural shift is underway—one that prioritizes comfort, creativity, connection, and independence. This session will showcase how universal human desires—like socialization, learning, and beauty—transcend age, and how designing for older adults is no longer about limitation, but about enabling thriving lifestyles. We must empower this population to continue to grow and thrive; to live meaningful lives. It’s time to redefine the living of senior living. Speakers will share real-world examples, including rooftop breweries and multi-use public spaces, that illustrate how to engage multiple generations under one roof successfully. Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
