Purpose and goal
The vision of our project is to create innovative and knowledge-based housing for older people. Despite major advances in ageing research, this has not led to any change in the care provided in such housing units. Starting out from an ongoing project, the idea of our project is to develop knowledge-based senior housing that can be used as experimental arenas, leading to new and innovative housing. Our goal is that in 10 years, the knowledge gained from our project will constitute the base for planning and developing new housing units for older people with great need of care.
