New Aging Award 2010

The University of Pennsylvania is launching the New Aging Award 2010 in a search for progressive architectural designs (realized or conceptual) for the elderly. With a concern that banal architecture has can become a barrier exacerbating physical limitations, social isolation, and dependency, the New Aging Award is looking for designs that break these trends and offers a design quality that enables the elderly to lead a life of dignity. Entries are uploaded to Architizer.com with no submission fee. The requirements for submission are a minimum of three images, a 150-250 word description, and credit for the entire team. The New Aging Award is open to any architectural project designed for, or including, a single person or a group of people who are 55 and older. The designs may range from a private house to an assisted living facility, nursing home, or continuing care retirement facility. The registered projects are available for public viewing by searching the Architizer database. Entries for the award are due by May 3, 2010. www.new-aging.com www.architizer.com/en_us/projects/view/new-aging-award-2010/6385/
