“Futureproofing” Homes
I spent the last couple of days in Omaha, Nebraska at a workshop presented by the University of Nebraska Durham School of Architectural Engineering.

I recently attended the Environments for Aging conference in Atlanta, which in general is a great conference and resource for the work we do here at TPD. The assembled group of architects, interior designers, builders, vendors, senior living operators, technology specialists, medical practitioners and developers is unique, I think, in that it recognizes that everyone needs to be working together to help provide great living spaces and experiences for older adults.
