Aging TOgether: Inclusive Aging-in-Place Strategies for Toronto, was a project on display at the 2023 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. It sought to introduce innovative housing models and urban design guidelines that cater to the needs of the ageing population, especially focusing on marginalized groups like the elderly and LGBTQ seniors. The project presents legislative initiatives, policies, and ground designs tailored for LGBTQ senior communities, anchoring the proposal on the idea of "chosen family."
