How do we envision our lives to be if we live beyond 100 years old? How can design contribute to the increasingly complex challenges confronting our society today and the future? Beyond 100: Transforming Design and Imagining Futures with Lab4Living invites visitors to consider the civic responsibility, and the provocative and technical qualities of design in response to society’s evolving circumstances and needs.
Lab4Living’s approach to design research is exemplified through this showcase, using the exhibition as an extension to our “Living Lab” we expand our inquiries to explore, provoke, and challenge notions of design, health, and civic engagement. The key themes in this exhibition present the eclectic approaches, formats, and directions undertaken by Lab4Living, and highlights the extraordinary potential of design and design research, in transforming our way of life to foster positive and lasting change in the contexts of health and wellbeing, enabling life, and supporting human flourishing.
