If you’re in NYC, check out The Senior Moment tomorrow

5:45 - 9pm
Wed 13 June 2012
Studio-X
180 Varick Street, Suite 1610
New York, NY

Please join the Columbia Lab for Architectural Broadcasting (C-LAB) at Studio-X from 5:45 - 9pm on Wednesday 13 June for an evening event on aging and New York City. Continuing the work begun in issue 27 of Volume magazine, ‘Aging Fight or Accept’ and more recently, with the C-Lab-certified issue 29, ‘The Urban Conspiracy’, this symposium engages experts from multiple disciplines who are actively shaping the future of aging in cities. From housing and environmental design to emerging technologies and social networks that foster aging-in-place, The Senior Moment will both survey and challenge received notions about the aging population and the aging built fabric of New York. The presentations and discussion will be followed by a reception. The event is free and open to the public.
