The Age Friendly City

-

MA Design LAB, Manchester School of Art

(2011 — 2012)

In 2008, Man­ches­ter School of Art es­tab­lished the MA De­sign LAB pro­gramme — a multi-disci­plin­ary and proj­ect-led ap­pro­ach where the cross­overs of ma­te­ri­al prac­tices were en­cour­aged to en­able stu­dents to un­der­take de­sign proj­ects often in­volv­ing com­plex so­cial iss­ues. I led and co-or­di­n­ated this pro­gramme be­tween 2008 and 2013.

Flex­i­bil­i­ty and adapt­a­bil­i­ty on a ma­te­ri­al and so­cial level were pri­ma­ry con­cerns for the pro­gramme. These qual­i­ties en­abled stu­dents to con­nect with the vast­ and chal­leng­ing na­ture of the iss­ues in hand, such as the age­ing pop­u­la­tion.

The Age Friend­ly City pub­li­ca­tion show­cases sev­er­al proj­ects car­ried out in Chorl­ton, Man­ches­ter, doc­u­ment­ing de­sign chal­lenges and de­tail­ing re­sponses that can be adapt­ed or used by oth­ers work­ing in this field. It’s writ­ten from the per­spec­tive of the De­sign LAB stu­dents.

The proj­ect work and pub­li­ca­tion were pro­duced by the MA De­sign LAB pro­gramme work­ing in part­ner­ship with the Val­u­ing Older Peo­ple (VOP) team at Pub­lic Health Man­ches­ter, Man­ches­ter City Coun­cil.
