PUBLICATIONS

Take 6 Beyond Beige The challenges involved in improving architecture for the growing population of older Australians and those with disabilities form the basis of this new book published by the Australian Institute of Architects.

Edited by architects Beverley Garlick, Diane Jones and Guy Luscombe, Take 6 Beyond Beige: improving architecture for older people and people with disabilities looks at key issues such as: planning communities for an ageing population; housing baby boomers; and designing new buildings for the mentally challenged.

The book also questions 'is the design of assisted aged care housing in Australia good enough?', and offers inspiring examples of seniors-friendly projects in Australia and offshore.

Cost: $44
