NewsThe 2nd Asian Design Symposium to be held2021.11.9

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.

We will aim to strengthen the international collaboration among participating universities through in-depth discussions based on the results of the Japan-China Design Symposium and the Asian Design Symposium held last year. In addition, we will globally disseminate exchanges and initiatives for design from Asia that will create new value so that this conference will be formed as a center for education and research in design studies in Asia.
