About the film
Living Together follows a group of young people during the creation of a housing cooperative that aims to be sustainable, social, and affordable.
The project is ambitious. Not only is it the first of its kind in the Netherlands, but the group of young residential pioneers has the added challenge of having no house-building experience.
Follow the housing pioneers from their festival-planning roots as KONIJN to their permaculture farm in Portugal and eventually to the creation of De Warren.

About the film
Where will you live as you age? Will your city take care of you? How should we design for the elderly, and for those who care for them? Where We Grow Older looks at how the growing aging population is reshaping architectural and social constructs, and questions the role of urban design and politics in facing these challenges.
The film investigates two models of care and housing: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructure (city as caretaker) and the creation of a new architectural model that offers care in a single building managed by private entities not only to the elderly but also to their caretakers (building as city).
The film takes us to projects in Barcelona and Baltimore, showing two vastly different contexts for exploring the same fundamental question.
