Abstract
The built environment is currently designed with (only) the present demographic profile in mind. Designing in this manner
fails to prepare for changes in demographic profiles and creates an obstacle for users when the program changes. The built
environment needs to be designed in a manner that continually adapts to changes in the demographic profiles to facilitate a productive society.
