Where We Grow Older (2023)
Director: Daniel Schwartz
30 minutes
English; Turkish subtitles
Where We Grow Older looks at how aging populations are reshaping the spatial and social dimensions of urban life. Moving between Barcelona and Baltimore, the film investigates two contrasting models of care and housing: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructures, and privately managed buildings that integrate both elderly residents and their caregivers under one roof.
Concluding a three-part film series produced by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA)—which previously addressed homelessness in What It Takes to Make a Home (2019) and solitude in When We Live Alone (2020)—this documentary examines how extended lifespans and shifting demographics affect diverse communities and challenge architectural systems, as well as the role of urban design and politics in responding to these challenges.
Organized as part of Forms of Care, the free-admission screening is open to everyone. Following the screening, architect Erik Vrieling and artist Marisa Morán Jahn take part in a conversation titled “The Architecture of Aging.”
