The DWELL (Designing for Well-being in Environments for Later Life) project is an architectural
design research project.
Researchers at the University of Sheffield are looking for local residents aged 50 + to get involved in developing new ideas for the future of homes and neighbourhoods in Sheffield. Participants will develop and evaluate proposals through workshops, neighbourhood walks, and other group activities. The project is a collaboration with Sheffield City Council and is led by Professor Sarah Wigglesworth. It will run until the end of 2016.
During the first year DWELL will involve groups of residents aged 50 and over in discussions and design workshops in order to develop ideas for improved housing and neighbourhoods. Participants will be involved in the development, review, and evaluation of proposals for new types of housing and age-friendly neighbourhoods for current and future generations.
The Sharrow group meetings are being held at Learn for Life Enterprise.
The next meeting will be Wednesday 29th October at 3pm.
