This will be a challenge for the seniors to interact and adapt to live in the society as a member who still drive society and economy. Today, cities and urban services are starting to do more to accommodate the lifestyles of the urban senior dwellers. This is the first step in design to prepare for the coming ageing society. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt; color: #282828;\">The modern history has showed us that creativity and design are important in expanding life expectancy and helping elderly to be independent longer, which is a basic human need. The ability to repair ageing body, daily life inventions, big data and social connectivity are factors to create new opportunities that can lead to business, product and service for seniors like never before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt; color: #282828;\">The transition from retirement in the industrial capitalist system to the age full of skills, experience, and wisdom, the capital of post-industrial society, digital communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing between generations have created new workforce back to the market. The phenomenon gives rise to the new role of senior citizens in Thailand as they are not going to be just consumers, but also producers to be reckoned with. These new group of people have creative ecology as the foundation of efficient working performance. Skills, experience, and wisdom are the premium production cost that will turn the economic crisis into the opportunity to thrive again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: boing-bold; font-size: 14pt; color: #282828;\"><a style=\"color: #282828;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tcdc.or.th\" target=\"_blank\">tcdc.or.th<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 FEBRUARY \u2014 01 MAY 2016<br \/>\nGallery 2, TCDC, Bangkok<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-picks"],"acf":[],"lang":"th","translations":{"th":327},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
