Age‐inclusive Design
A Challenge for Kitchen Living?
Sheila Peace writes from the perspective of social gerontology and considers contemporary challenges of inclusive design in light of global demographic change. Peace connects the study of interior design with the concept of care and asks how the latter might have relevance for the way homes, and particularly kitchen spaces, are shaped. Peace argues that various factors, from cost effectiveness and building regulations to a lack of participatory design, works against the creation of age‐friendly environments. Peace demonstrates how an understanding of the variation in people's use of domestic environments across the lifecourse can offer designers insight into ways of enabling ageing in place and facilitating home care arrangements that respond to human change.
