    Elderquarters

    Posted by brkt.org

     

    What are the extreme pressures placed on a world when as many people are retired as are working?
    What happens as our needs become more horizontal but our world becomes more vertical?
    Can we depend on cities again?
     
    ELDERQUARTERS disassembles these questions to imagine a more vibrant place for senior citizens. A prototypical infrastructural and architectural proposal to re-zone existing urban fabric, the project reformulates lifestyle/wellness with comfort/desire.
