Research and evidence based design has been set as a high priority by AIA National. Over the past several years, Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) has both conducted pragmatic research in senior living environments and prepared a “Senior Research Resource Guide.” The intent of the guide is to provide a common and easily accessed resource for clients, care providers, architects and lay-people as they are considering designs of environments for seniors. In collaboration with the AIA Design for Aging Knowledge Community, the Hulda B. and Maurice L Rothschild Foundation, Vendome Publishing and our own EUA Charitable Foundation we are undertaking the publication and distribution of this guide for wide usage, understanding that the work we’ve done should be available for anyone interested in senior living environments. This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the AIA research initiative, including a bit of “download” from the two research summits that have been held and then an overview of how that initiative can be applied to real-world practical research evidenced by the Senior Research Resource Guide.
CourseDescription
LearningObjectives
1. Gain a background understanding of the National AIA research initiative
2. Learn how practitioners can utilize research to benefit their designs and their clients’
programs
3. Learn how to undertake practical research within the business model of today’s
architectural firm
4. Learn how one’s client can benefit from and capitalize on research which has been
completed and from applied evidence based design and how this research may streamline
the design process
At the end of the this course, participants will be able to:

Value of research & EBD
• Building efficiency• Staff/user efficiency• Higher value per square foot• Higher user satisfaction (marketability)• Applicability to future designs • Advancing the art and science of the
profession
AIA Research Initiative
• 2012-AIA organized a “Research Summit”• Current areas of interest for
architectural research• The rigor, metrics and measurement of
architectural research• How to curate architectural research• Role of purveyor vs. producer• The sharing of research
• Results• Create a research advisory board• Produce a follow-up summit (2013)• Re-focus AIA staff efforts
