Presentation
23 September 2016
Date: 23 September 2016 (Friday)
Time: 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Venue: Connecting Space Hong Kong (Directions)
The outcome of the one-week intensive international design workshop will be delivered in the evening’s exclusive sharing. With the aim to discuss, explore, and experiment with the potential of design practice and thinking within a creative city, the workshop organiser invited three Hong Kong based professionals — designers, researchers, and artists — to run individual workshops on the given topic to fellow students of Master of Arts in Design at the Zurich University of the Arts.
The city is an extremely complex system. Even if we try to understand it, we can hardly cope with it. Despite all its dysfunctional challenges, the city is the place where most of
the citizens will live in the near future. How can we as designers negotiate a common, public space, and construct a city that builds on shared thinking thinking, away from a stack of individual needs?
To promote a creative city we need to identify potentials and strive for innovative approaches. Join us tomorrow evening to see what some of the city’s best creative talents inspired in the week’s design workshop.
