This chapter explores how contemporary process philosophy enables construction of design epistemologies and practices better able produce, ‘a plausible connection between architecture and the social’ (Rem Koolhas).
This chapter sets out key theoretical findings of research into spatial inclusion, articulating philosophical aspects of a Spinoza inspired – ‘expressionist’ - design and research methodology.
This chapter brings to an international audience the underpinning theoretical and methodological approaches to the design and implementation of whole system place-based public health interventions across the life course.
Collected alongside world-leading disability scholars Rob Imrie and Jos Boys, this chapter sets out the key theoretical basis of research into a ‘capability’ model of spatial inclusion that underpins cutting-edge Age Friendly Neighbourhood community-engaged design-research, which in turn contributed to Greater Manchester becoming Europe’s first Age Friendly City Region.
Creating Age-Friendly Developments is a guide for developers, designers and policymakers setting out 62 considerations for ensuring new residential developments and urban regeneration initiatives can better serve the needs and aspirations of older people.
This public facing report curated by Dr Hammond sets out co-produced guidance informed by the DfL Ageing in place Research programme. It extends the Design for Life Manifesto for urban ageing into specific supplementary planning guidance for new developments in Greater Manchester.
This project was commissioned by the Centre for Ageing Better to extend the understanding of how to close the Rightsizing gap that we had theorised and identified in the earlier Rightsizing: reframing the housing offer for older people report.
The rightsizing project responded to the observation that a potentially very large number of older people were living in unsuitable accommodation for later life or had an expressed preference to move home but very few (<4%) every year did actually move house and of those less than half moved into smaller properties i.e it is incorrect to assume that older people seek to ‘downsize’.
