"Beyond 100" highlights the role of design in improving health and general wellbeing. 全球人口老化,令各國政府忙於制訂實效解決方案,回應暮年歲月的需求與期望。 「超越100」揭示設計在改善人們健康、令生活變得更美好方面所肩負的重任。 In collaboration with Lab4Living, a design-led interdisciplinary research group at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK, HKDI Gallery presented the exhibition "Beyond 100: Transforming Design & Imagining Futures with Lab4Living" in November 2022 to February 2023 to explore what can be done through design to cope with the crises of living to 100 years old and beyond. Hong Kong has always required smarter designs to support 18.9% of its population who is 65 years of age or older. As the city with the longest life expectancy in the world, keeping its citizens healthy while helping those less abled is particularly challenging. The global perspective adopted by "Beyond 100" invited visitors to appreciate the diversity of design approaches that highlight the importance of defining questions not just answers; the value of participatory and collaborative approaches; the need for inclusive and sustainable approaches; and solutions that are culturally and environmentally appropriate. The eclectic approaches, formats and directions undertaken by Lab4Living were demonstrated through five themes. The artefacts revealed the power and potential of design to transform lives, foster positive change and support human flourishing. They also exemplified designers' creative responses and adaptation amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 香港知專設計學院(HKDI)與英國雪菲 爾哈倫大學屬下的跨領域設計研究團隊 「生活實驗室」(Lab4Living)合作,於 2022年11月在HKDI Design Gallery呈獻 「超越100:與Lab4Living一同改造設計, 展望未來」展覽,探討設計如何適時回 應活過一百歲的危機與挑戰。 香港是全球人均預期壽命最長的城市, 有18.9%人口年滿65歲或以上,所以一 直都需要更人性化的智能設計,應對市 民的健康需要,同時支持能力較弱的人 好好生活。「超越100」為參觀者展現環 球視野,帶來林林種種的多元設計理念, 並強調問題與答案同樣重要,展示參與 和合作的重要價值、人們對共容和永績 方案的需求,以及符合文化及環境要求 的解決方案。 展覽分為五大主題,闡述Lab4Living所 採用的多元研究方法、形式與方向,讓 觀眾感受設計的力量、體會其如何改變 生活,為生活帶來正面影響,推動人類 邁向繁榮的未來。展品並以實例說明設 計師以創意回應新冠疫情,幫助民眾適 應新常態。 2 3
