Abstract
Many buildings from the Dutch post-1965 stock are judged through their deterioration rather than through their transformative potential. This project proposes another perspective.
Blakeburg is approached as a collection of deposits: physical and immaterial traces that have accumulated over time.
Rather than treating these conditions as problems to be corrected, they become starting points for design. By curating existing deposits and creating space for future ones, the project explores how ageing can become a design driver for the transformation of post-1965 architecture.
