The mission of the AIA Design for Aging (DFA) Knowledge Community is to foster design innovation and disseminate knowledge necessary to enhance the built environment and quality of life for an aging society. This includes relevant research on characteristics, planning and costs associated with innovative design for aging. In addition, DFA provides outcome data on the value of these design solutions and environments.

This volume marks the fifth cycle of the AIA's Design for Aging Review. Projects featured in this publication were selected by an AIA jury in 2000 from a range of USA and Canadian projects. They represent the best current work in design for aging, and also offer an overview of the design for aging architectural, design, and consultant community's responses to a variety of programs, budgets and challenges. The book was first published in 2001.
