Hi everyone
I received a copy of a report that seems quite interesting. Their web site
states:
Last year Northern Architecture set up the HOME project in partnership with
Newcastle's Elders Council and Quality of Life Partnership. It set out to
learn more about the views and requirements of older people in relation to
their homes.
Over a number of months a group of older people from Newcastle were involved
in a series of workshops that explored the importance and meaning of home.
The group undertook a range of activities such as drawing, map-making,
discussion, photography and writing which were used to express the positive
factors, concerns and practical issues that older people experience in their
homes and their local environment.
