MAD Faculty participates in The Methods Lab (RCA)
Our research group Social Spaces and four students of our educational program Communication and MultimediaDesign (Media, Arts and Design Faculty) will participate in a workshop called Ageing in Kensington! at the Royal College of Art. The students will be part of interdisciplinary groups of RCA students and explore new methods to explore the theme of ageing. Social Spaces will present some of its past projects in the health field. The workshop is organised by Yanki Lee (RCA) and our Media, Arts and Design Faculty is partner in the project.
RCA is located at Kensington in London where has the best life expectancy in the UK, 82.4 years, 10 years more than many other areas of the city!). This year our focus is to re-think the design implications of our ageing population by working with our successful ‘ageing well’
neighbours. Each team will work with a local ‘older’ resident as their creative partner and co-
investigate the local neighbourhood to co- develop new design ideas for our healthy
and active future selves.
