Melbourne: Ideas on Design
Taiwan By Design
|
For the first time Taiwanese Designers participate as keynote speakers of "IdeasonDesign" festival in Melbourne, Australia. Their visit is a part of our ongoing initiative "Taiwan by Design" aimed at drawing international attention to the cultural heritage and design excellence of Taiwan. Specially researched projects present the deeper links between local craft traditions and the development of authentic art and design practices.
agIdeas is one of the most influential international design events. The annual program explores the philosophy, strategy and processes behind some of the world’s most inspiring design communities. It is a week of immense energy and excitement during which creative leaders share insights about the convergence of design with business, technology and society.
