On Thursday 22 June, Ike Kamphof and Ruud Hendriks will give a presentation about special architecture and design for people living with dementia, focusing on technologies and artificial environments with an aspect of make-believe. The presentation is part of the exhibition ‘Intensive Care: Architecture and Design in Healthcare’ at Bureau Europa.
Venue: Timmerfabriek, Boschstraat 9.
Time: 20.00-22.00.
Free admission.
The talk by Kamphof and Hendriks is part of a duo-presentation with Henri Snel, PhD candidate at the VU University on Alzheimer and Architecture and teacher inter-Architecture at the Rietveld Academie. The lecture is part of the exhibition ‘Intensive Care: Architecture and Design in Healthcare’ at Bureau Europa, a platform for architecture and design in Maastricht, which also features an installation based on scholarly research of Ike Kamphof and Ruud Hendriks.
Their research project, ‘Make-believe Matters. The Moral Role Things Play in Dementia Care’ in the ZonMW program Ethiek en Gezondheid (together with Tsjalling Swierstra), addresses the unexplored moral role of technological and material innovations in dementia care, in particular with regard to deception.
