The Ageing and Ingenuity Lab at the Design Department, Linnaeus University, Sweden, was set up in 2013 by Sara HylténCavallius, an architect turned educator and researcher, and Stephanie Carleklev, designer and educator. We were keen to explore ageing, as we see dignified ageing in its own right, and the reality of an ageing population, as intrinsically linked to long-term social, cultural, ecological and economic flourishing – that is, sustainability. Therefore it was also natural to involve the students on the BA degree programme, Design for Sustainable Development in the work on ageing.
