Course Description


In this course, you will learn about homes that are different than the kind constructed over the last one hundred years. You'll learn how and why this change came about, who it affects and why it is quickly gaining in acceptance and popularity. You’ll see why inclusive design makes sense on every level and you will be able to explain the idea of Ageless by Design. You will explore how a new way of designing can provide a living space that a 5-year-old and a 105-year-old can function together, independently, using the same modified everyday items of which you are accustomed.
