This project looks into the future of our homes and explores the potential for adapting our dwellings to deal with the pressures of 21st century living - an ageing population, increasing atomization of the family, expensive housing, environmental targets, spiralling energy costs, and the risk of social isolation. These challenges suggest opportunities for collaboration between communities of research, practice and occupants who wish to explore configurable spaces, flexible materials, green living, and pervasive media. To harness this energy, we explore the boundaries of private and public living, involving the communities of Newcastle and Dundee in co-design workshops that focus on how communities might dwell more socially to better serve companionship, resource sharing and social resilience. We target people in their 40s to 60s, for whom retirement is on its way, to identify their interests and values and assess how retro-fitting a generation of homes could work to increase sociality.We will run a specialist workshop for architects, designers, planners and materials experts to discuss the innovations that are possible in fitting up homes for different life stages and making communal living more possible. Materials prepared following this event and incorporating the learning will be used in community workshops in Newcastle and Dundee, to be stimulus for collaborative designing of future homes. Through this work we will explore the boundaries of acceptability and affordability, what local priorities would be and how far innovations can be imagined working in ordinary homes in Scotland and England. Through this process, we will come to learn both what would be welcomed in households in Scotland and England, and also some insight into methods of engaging households in making such changes.The project discoveries will be captured in a blog, using video, and presented in an exhibition mounted in the two chosen areas. Feedback from these sources will go into the final evaluation of what is possible and desirable in modifying existing homes to accommodate a more socially resilient and supportive lifestyle.

该项目展望了我们家园的未来，并探索了适应我们住宅的潜力，以应对21世纪生活的压力-人口老龄化，家庭日益分散，昂贵的住房，环境目标，螺旋式上升的能源成本，以及社会孤立的风险。这些挑战为希望探索可配置空间、灵活材料、绿色生活和普及媒体的研究、实践和居住者社区之间的合作提供了机会。为了利用这种能量，我们探索私人和公共生活的界限，让纽卡斯尔和邓迪的社区参与共同设计研讨会，重点关注社区如何更社会化地居住，以更好地服务于友谊，资源共享和社会弹性。我们的目标人群是40 - 60岁的老年人，他们即将退休，我们将确定他们的兴趣和价值观，并评估如何改造一代住宅以增加社会性。我们将举办一个专业研讨会，邀请建筑师、设计师、规划师和材料专家，讨论在为不同的生活阶段装修住宅和使社区生活更有可能的创新。本次活动后准备的材料，并纳入学习将用于社区研讨会在纽卡斯尔和邓迪，是刺激未来的家园合作设计。通过这项工作，我们将探索可接受性和可负担性的界限，当地的优先事项是什么，以及在苏格兰和英格兰的普通家庭中可以想象有多远的创新。通过这个过程，我们将了解苏格兰和英格兰的家庭会欢迎什么，也会了解一些让家庭参与做出这种改变的方法。项目的发现将被记录在博客中，使用视频，并在两个选定的地区举办的展览中展示。来自这些来源的反馈将进入最后评估，以确定在改造现有住房方面可能和可取的做法，以适应更具社会适应力和支持性的生活方式。
