A project to design a living environment for the elderly (over 70) in the year 2020. An over 60s hall at a university would provide learning, socialising, independence, the possibilities of inter-generational contact and care missing in current care scenarios. A diary of 'Bill's' stay there allowed us to present the idea in a way that showed its benefits without resorting to preaching or the idea that 'designers know better'.
