Curriculum Field Testing in Architectural Gerontology

McRae, John

Journal of Architectural Education, 31, 1, 37-9, Sep 77

The source book, "Environments and Aging: Concepts and Issues," was field tested at the University of Florida College in a project for architectural students. Results indicated that it lacks clarity and interpretive graphics, and that students generally did not utilize information from any readings as effective inputs into their design process. (LBH)
