According to a recent Gensler forecast report, the design of living spaces ranging from retirement communities to multigenerational urban high rises are evolving to offer more choice and physical-digital integration for seniors, and that ageism can be eliminated through design. In this episode, JSR Associates' Jane Rohde sits down with i+s Chief Content Director Robert Nieminen to discuss an innovative model for senior living communities that not only better caters to the needs of elderly populations but also brings at-risk youth into the picture to further break down barriers to community. In this lively conversation, you’ll discover not only how the Live Together model works, but be inspired and equipped to re-envision the way you think about how to design for senior living in the future.
