• The exploding Baby Boomer market signals an emerging demand for products and living environments that accommodate the widest spectrum of those who would use them. Advocating a transgenerational design strategy, this site shatters popular myths and misconceptions about age and aging, and clarifies the emerging design issues, problems, priorities, and solutions.
