It is clean\, uncluttered\, and manageabl e\, reducing risk of disease and injury and offering restoration when the inevitable occurs. It regenerates on a daily basis\, supports good sleep\, encourages exercise\, and makes healthy cooking fun. This program has a d ifferent perspective on universal design\; emphasizing elements really wan ted in a home and a proactive approach to home design that supports and st imulates healthy living and wellness as a prime driver. Universal design s hould be an inherent part of all residential projects\, not just those for older and disabled people. It goes beyond just accommodating physical dif ferences\; it offers the promise of doing what you want to do-- --and actu ally eliminates disability by design.\n\nRegeneration\, prevention\, motiv ation\, and elimination of disability—that’s a lot to ask of a house\, but it can be done. In the past thirty years\, Cynthia Leibrock and Mary Jo Peterson have designed hundreds of projects\, presented their work inte rnationally and produced seven books on universal and health design. Drawi ng from this experience\, this program offers the best of universal design \, the most applicable\, exciting\, and innovative products\, concepts\, a nd projects and the latest research on aging in place from the U.S.\, Cana da\, Northern Europe\, and Japan--countries with an aging demographic and increased consumer demand for universal design. Universal design encompass es confusing realities. Even though clients of all ages\, sizes\, and abil ities need housing and accommodations to meet their needs\, many designers struggle with marketing universal design services. Although multi-unit ho using projects of all types are required by U.S. law to accommodate the gr owing population of residents with disabilities\, compliance with codes an d standards merely scratches the surface of universal design. Patients are being discharged from hospitals “sicker and quicker\,” but they are s ent home to housing which either further disables or reinjures them.\n\nAs we age\, many of us wish to stay in our homes\, but our homes may not hav e been designed to support this. Others plan to sell their homes and move into accessible housing\, but there is little affordable accessible housin g available in the U.S. . We may all occupy assisted living or skilled nur sing eventually but no one truly wants to live in a healthcare facility. M any of us will have multiple relocations in our “golden” years during this confusing and segregating continuum of care. This program addresses t hese issues and highlights alternatives that suggest you can truly age wel l in place without moving\, and without turning home into a hospital.\n\nF or the last eight years Cynthia has literally been living with contractors to demonstrate the best of universal design--in her own home. This progra m includes a virtual tour of this project which integrates over 200 univer sal and green design elements. Many of these elements have been improved s everal times. While about half of these ideas cost less than $50\, some ar e expensive. Soak in a bathtub inside a bathtub while experimenting with c hroma-therapy\, using color to heal. Access this tub from a disappearing\, overhead lift. Reset your body clock with lighting and shade controls aut omated to help restore circadian rhythm. Rehydrate in a steam shower after a long flight or to recover from a cold. Discover induction cooking--safe r\, faster\, and more energy efficient. Seal in nutrients with a steam ove n or countertop steamer. Keep veggies fresh for weeks using dual refrigera tion. Exercise in the most beautiful part of the house\, not the basement. Enjoy the adjacent hot tub as a post-workout reward. Notice relaxing view s\, clean lines\, and the green design--not the grab bars\, gurney accessi ble bathroom\, ceiling track lift\, or accessible route through the house. They are all there\, but invisible. The best of universal design is visua lly exciting.\n\nCynthia’s home became a necessity\, not a demo. Shortly after remodeling\, her husband tore his Achilles tendon and she had unexp ected hip surgery. He was on a scooter and she was using a walker. No one else was there to help. They couldn’t help each other. The hospital reco mmended a “rehab Facility.” In other words\, they were heading for THE HOME. Instead they headed for THEIR home\, a safe and comfortable place. Theirs’ is a home for regeneration\, a home for life.\n\nIn addition to Cynthia’s home\, this course explores best practices in remodeled and ne w single family custom residential\, s well as production building\, both single family and multifamily\, providing an opportunity to consider the v arious models from which one can choose in creating the proactive universa lly designed home.\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nThis new program showcases the best universal products and projects and also examines the latest internat ional design research on design for aging with a focus on health and longe vity. It is designed for specialists in kitchen and bath design\, resident ial architects\, universal designers\, physical and occupational therapist s\, independent living and home healthcare providers\, and all residential interior designers. We are especially interested in attracting educators who train those offering universal design to future generations.\n\n\n \n Residential architects\n \n \n Universal designers\n \n \n Kitchen and bat h designers\n \n \n Physical and occupational therapists\n \n \n Independe nt living and home healthcare providers\n \n \n Residential interior desig ners\n \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n \n With emphasis on class discussio n\, demonstrate how regeneration\, home health care\, prevention\, motivat ion\, and elimination of disability can be accomplished through interior d esign\n \n \n Analyze the latest research on aging in place from the U.S.\ , Northern Europe\, and Japan\n \n \n Apply the best universal products to design for aging in place and home healthcare\n \n \n Offer techniques fo r marketing universal design on all projects\, not just select projects fo r select populations\n \n\n SUMMARY:Residential Design for Health and Longevity - Harvard University Gr aduate School of Design - August 2017 BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER:-P6D SUMMARY:Alarm notification END:VALARM BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:DISPLAY TRIGGER:-P SUMMARY:Alarm notification END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
