Design Matters is so happy to see the issue of design and aging being explored at several leading institutions including my alma mater the University of Cincinnati. Cincinnati has been a leader in design education for decades. It is nice to see that the program is keeping up with real world issues.

AIA Housing Trend Report
AIA 2009 Housing Trend Report
This housing trend and economic report from the AIA is very informative. Since I am based in New England, I can confirm that the northeast is holding its own. The one difference is that my company is very busy with the second home/vacation market with both single family and condos. It couldn't be a better time to invest in this market if you have the cash on the sidelines. Construction costs are not drastically reduced, but there is much more time being spent with the customers.

Quiet Necessity
"Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep. "
