SUMMARY:THE SPIRAL – CIRCULAR DESIGN EXHIBITION
DESCRIPTION:As the world gradually faces a survival crisis amidst the recent extreme weather events and climate change\, issues of sustainability have also garnered growing attention\, as the public that has experienced the impacts is now being introduced to circular economy; people not only respond to the idea\, but have also been involved in industry supply chain in an attempt to bring changes to planet Earth and the future environment we live in. In 2018\, Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI) launched an exhibition under the theme of “Are You in the Loop?” and linked with consumers\, designers\, and manufacturers to present an opportunity for the public to transition from basic concepts of environmental protection to circular economy and circular design; in 2020\, “Disaster or Design” focused on the Earth Overshoot Day\, which marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature’s resources and services in a given year\, and discussed how to ensure balance between resources and consumption under the thinking of circular design.  \nWebsite \nWDO Member: TDRI

SUMMARY:2022 INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - THE LENS
DESCRIPTION:A lens is a medium that focuses or disperses a light beam. Design then offers various types of refraction\, creating different effects through the lens. Design is like a multi-perspective lens that transforms all elements in our daily lives in the past\, present\, and future into multiple possibilities. At the same time\, it reflects our hopes\, fears\, desires\, anxieties\, beliefs and values that entangled in our mind.\nIn the time of uncertainty\, how does a designer become a lens maker? We seek to respond to urgent issues including climate change\, religious conflict\, racial discrimination\, gender equality\, wealth gap\, aging society and the impact of the Anthropocene\, trying to compose new objects\, systems and structures. \nWebsite \nWDO Member: Compal
