Explore the Design for Longevity mindset and use the Unclock framework to prototype services that evolve over time.

In this workshop, participants will explore the Design for Longevity (D4L) mindset and learn how to apply the “Unclock” framework to design with time in mind. Through hands-on activities including photogrammetry, ethnographic research and creative prototyping, attendees will investigate longevity-related challenges and develop ideas for services that evolve across life stages. This session is suitable for all skill levels and encourages experimentation, reflection and innovative thinking at the intersection of design, technology and society.

About Sheng-Hung Lee

Sheng-Hung Lee, PhD, is a designer and engineer whose work combines design, technology and systems thinking to address societal challenges. He will join the University of Michigan as Assistant Professor in the Urban Technology program, focusing on urban systems, service innovation and Design for Longevity (D4L). His research explores how individuals and systems navigate life transitions across services. His doctoral work at MIT proposed a framework integrating constructivist grounded theory, causal loop diagrams and design ethnography to study behavioural and systemic dynamics in longevity planning
