CCA in partnership with Bethany Center Senior Housing presents this lecture by Patricia Moore, an internationally renowned gerontologist, designer, lecturer, and author, and a leading authority on consumer lifespan behaviors and requirements.
Moore spent three years traveling throughout the United States and Canada disguised as an 80-year-old woman. With her body altered to simulate the normal sensory changes associated with aging, she was able to respond to people, products, and environments as an elder.
Moore will be an advisor for the ENGAGE at CCA project with the Bethany Center this semester.
Moore's clients have included AT&T, Bell Communication, Boeing, Citibank, Corning Glass, General Electric, GTE, Honolulu Light Rail, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark, Kaiser Permanente, Kraft General Foods, NASA, Norelco, Marriott, Maytag, Pfizer, Playtex, Seoul Design City Project, Sunbeam, 3M, Valley Metro Rail, and Whirlpool, to name only a few.
Moore was named by ID magazine one of the 40 Most Socially Conscious Designers in the world. In 2000 she was selected by a consortium of news editors and organizations as one of the 100 Most Important Women in America. ABC World News featured her as one of 50 Americans Defining the New Millennium.
