Designers have a responsibility to explore the possible outcomes of the future and solve the ageing-related problems that will be faced in the future. Based on the Future Cone, the Double Diamond Model and the IDEO Method Cards, this study proposes a new model to guide the design practice of future aging issues in the context of aging. With the aim of validating and refining the framework, an ageing designer workshop was held, in which participants were asked to imagine, explore and express ideas about future ageing-related issues. The workshop was used to refine the proposed model. Specifically, the model includes a future concept, a design guidance process based on the Double Diamond Model, and tools that can be applied at all stages of design, which can help designers to generate ideas and solutions for future aging problems, as well as collectively lead society toward a more desirable future. Moreover, this study explores broader directions for the development of the model and provides a reference for continued research into this topic in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems11080404","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,6]],"date-time":"2023-08-06T10:01:53Z","timestamp":1691316113000},"page":"404","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Exploring the Future Design Approach to Ageing Based on the Double Diamond Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media and Design Art, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}]},{"given":"Zihan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media and Design Art, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}]},{"given":"Tongfei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media and Design Art, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}]},{"given":"Yuting","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media and Design Art, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangang","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media and Design Art, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"United Nations (2023, June 24).
