Presentation of Living Without Care(s)

The results of the study Living Without Care(s) were presented on 10 May during the symposium “Longer at home thanks to the nursing home?” in Rotterdam. In collaboration with the Veldacademie and designer Boudewien van den Berg, Jef van den Putte examined how nursing homes can acquire a second life as residential facilities for the elderly. The study resulted in the development of an instrument that designers and so-called ‘problem owners’ could deploy in tackling this issue. Living Without Care(s) was made possible thanks to a grant from the Creative Industries Fund NL. The results were also presented at a symposium held prior to the Hedy D’Ancona Prize ceremony organized by the Fund on 20 June.
