What is "designage"

DesignAge was a cross-disciplinary action research programme within the Royal College of Art in the UK, founded in 1991 in partnership with the Helen Hamlyn Foundation to “explore the implications for design of ageing populations” in the developed world. It was directed by Roger Coleman until 1999 when it was merged into the newly created Helen Hamlyn Research Centre. The programme was the recipient of the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in 1994 in the category of “the Arts”.
