Different countries and regions in the world have successively launched a series of measures in order to solve the problems of population ageing. At the same time, architectural planning and design of senior housing are attached equal importance, which not only needs to comply the related regulations, but also to take the special requirements by the elderly into account. In such a background, there are a number of elderly institutions and housings with first-rate facilities and services built, which improves the standards in this field and accumulates valuable experience for the future. The book selects 26 successful cases of senior building, summarizing the social pension modes, senior building types and referring experience of America, parts of European countries Asian countries. Each case is interpreted in a comprehensive and delicate way in regards to different aspects such as project background, design challenge, elderly-oriented concept, architectural and interior planning, and material selection and so on.
