Against the backdrop of unprecedented changes in society, the qualitative and ever-changing
design concepts and areas are rapidly expanding. To solve the diverse and complex societal challenges that the 20th century has left unaddressed, we must explore the causes of the issues, the needs, and the clues for solutions from a multifaceted perspective. It is recognized that the original role of design can be a valid method in all stages of the creative process. Given the growing social role and expectations for design, we believe that it is necessary to reconstruct the concept and methodology of education and research in the field of design studies.
Therefore, the Japan-China Design Conference and the Asian Design Conference will focus on culture, art, industry, and human resource development in the Asian region to create new academic research fields through collaboration with design universities in Asia. We aim to form an education and research base of design studies unique to Asia, promote design research and education, and actively contribute to the creation of future society.
