Abstract

This thesis, Longevity, studies the ability to create a place to dwell that improves the quality, longevity, and ability to heal those that inhabit its walls all the while residing within and urban setting. The typology is a senior retirement facility. It is through design that architecture can adequately accommodate residents, and urge them to continue their independence while offering needed amenities when necessary. With growing numbers of elderly looking for a place to reside, while still possessing the independence in which they strive for, a multi-use retirement complex design is a desired solution.
