Where will you live once you grow older? Will your city take care of you? How to design for the elderly, and for those who care for them?
The documentary Where We Grow Older (CCA, 2023, 30 min) looks at how the growing aging population is reshaping architectural and social constructs and questions the role of urban design and politics in facing these challenges. The film investigates two models of how care and housing can be reconceived in light of longer lifespans: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructure—where the city is the caretaker—, and a new architectural type that offers care to the elderly as well as their caretakers in a single building managed by private entities —where the building becomes the city.
On 26 September, join us in New York City for a screening of the film at the Architecture & Design Film Festival, alongside Living Together: The Story of De Warren. Purchase tickets here
