Programma c Planning Site: The Rebekah Baines Johnson building is an original 1970s structure located in Aus n, Texas. The 16-story tower was originally conceived as an independent senior living community for low-income residents in a primarily black and La no neighborhood. Aus n’s rapid demographic growth (it is the fastest-growing city in the US, having expanded by a third in the last decade) has par cularly affected the RBJ building. The surrounding area has been drama cally gentrified as young professionals con nue to move into town following a booming tech industry. The tradi onally industrial and residen al neighborhood is now a very lively part of town, filled with restaurants, cafes, bars and music venues that contribute to the city’s reputa on as "The Live Music Capital of the World". The proximity of the tower to Aus n’s lake and network of green spaces also makes it a par cularly desirable loca on. Rather than contribu ng to the emerging landscape of newly constructed expensive condo buildings in the neighborhood, this proposal seeks to upgrade the outdated facility while protec ng the presence of the senior community in this loca on.

Concept for Adap ve Reuse: In response to the growing demand for senior housing in Aus n, we envision a futuris c senior living center that an cipates the needs and desires of the aging popula on. With the increasing trend of longer lifespans, seniors today are living more ac ve and engaged lives than ever before, blurring the lines between tradi onal no ons of aging. In contempla ng the senior lifestyle a century from now, Age Inappropriate creates a space that is tailored to the preferences of the upcoming genera on.

A Roo op Bar for the Elderly As individuals age, the allure of Aus n's vibrant nightlife and music scenes remains undiminished, even as we navigate the challenges of growing older. Social interac ons should not be sacrificed with age, yet we observe an absence of seniors in many social se ngs, such as bars and music venues.

Recognizing the barriers that have tradi onally kept seniors away from such establishments, this roo op bar for the elderly faces these challenges head-on. The lack of suitable sea ng, dimly lit spaces, boisterous environments, and inaccessible routes have o en deterred the elderly from enjoying the vibrant se ng of a bar. To aid seniors in these se ng, Age Inappropriate includes a diverse array of sea ng op ons, from tall seats offering stability to chairs with sturdy arms and cozy banque e sea ng. Purposeful ligh ng elements have been introduced to assist the visually impaired, while features like acous c walls and specialized ligh ng cater specifically to the needs of the hard of hearing.

In essence, this bar is a testament to the belief that age should never be a barrier to enjoying the nightlife culture. Through innova ve design, though ul accommoda ons, and a commitment to inclusivity, Age Inappropriate is a space where everyone, regardless of age or ability, can revel in the magic of Aus n's nightlife.the aging popula on. With the increasing trend

of longer lifespans, seniors today are living more ac ve and engaged lives than ever before, blurring the lines between tradi onal no ons of aging. In contempla ng the senior lifestyle a century from now, Age Inappropriate creates a space that is tailored to the preferences of the upcoming genera on.

Assis ve Technology

TABLE LIGHT This light source is close to the table. This helps the visually impaired by illumina ng the table, menu, bill, and drinks.

FACE LIGHT This light source is higher, and was designed to brighten the faces of those si ng around the table. This helps the visually impaired see others, but also aids those with hearing loss by illumina ng faces to make lip reading easier.

12

LIGHTING STICK The ligh ng s ck complies with the ADA guidelines of a walking cane. It has a light source at the bo om that helps light the path as customers move around the space.

MAGNETIC GLASS Drinks will be served in glasses that have a magnet inserted into the bo om. The tables have a steel plate under the plas c facade that the cups will magne ze to in order to prevent spills. This will help those with weak or shaky hands.

Furniture Design: In the pursuit of inclusive design, furniture and technology was implemented to assist those with visual impairments without compromising the cap va ng ambiance of bars. Each table in the bar will have a built-in light holder that moves around the table on a track. The tables have at least 48” around them for wheelchair clearance.

To go along with the table, three ligh ng elements were designed.

The first, a table light, illuminates the table for customers to see the bill, menu, and their drinks. The second, an elevated light that brightens faces, aids those with hearing loss by facilita ng lip reading.

Patrons will be able to bring the ligh ng elements to the table with them and put them in the light holder. The light can move around the table as needed. The third light source is incorporated in the bo om of walking canes to cast a gentle glow near the ground, ligh ng the way for patrons as they move about.

Panoramic Horizons Panoramic Horizons is a structure within the main gallery in Goldsmith Hall that maximizes the func onality of the overall space by allowing students to collaborate, pinup their projects, and watch final reviews.

The structure is composed of three walls; the interior walls create a new pinup space for student work, while the exterior of the structure is designed for students to lounge and observe the space around them.

The exterior of Panoramic Horizons is composed of large blocks that come together to make up an orthogonal, geometric form. On the interior, however, the structure appears as an organic shape that resembles a horizon line. Panoramic Horizons is divided in half to create two levels; the bo om level contains seating, tables, and countertop spaces that allows students to watch reviews on either the North or South gallery walls. The upper level, which is par oned by a rail, acts as a pathway that wraps around the en re structure. The top of Panoramic Horizons tapers at different heights to let visitors view the gallery space below and observe ongoing reviews or art installa ons.

The inten on behind this design was to create a space within a space that promotes observa on by giving students a panoramic view of the whole gallery, and all the reviews that may be going on at one me. This structure enables students to watch reviews without disrup ng them.
