Our topic –experiencing elderly life This universal design workshop will be held in Chang Gung University and Chang Gung Health and Culture Village, which is the most well-developed elderly nursing home in Taiwan. Based on universal design principles, we will introduce existing legislation, standards and design trends to the workshop trainees.
