The theme of the 2021 TISDC was recently revealed to be Regenerate – building upon the foundation of the past and adopting a new perspective to forge a path into the future and give rise to a new paradigm.

“There are some things one can only achieve by a deliberate leap in the opposite direction,” said renowned novelist Franz Kafka.

Best-selling French Sci-fi author Bernard Werber has said, “The best way to renew thought is to go outside the human imagination.”

In 2015, the UN proposed the Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030, which inspires the theme of 2021 TISDC – Regenerate. Students from around the world are encouraged to look back to what has been created and think outside the box, starting anew and digging deep within themselves in order to forge a new path with rich design thinking.

From February 15^th, 2021 to February 21st, the TISDC international touring exhibition arrived at its first stop – Jakarta, Indonesia. The one-week exhibition has come to a fruitful end, welcoming faculty and students from design schools across Jakarta and the general public to the event.

With the help of Mrs. Tri Anugrah, the Indonesian speaker invited to the 2018 New Asia Design Workshop, TISDC was able to bring the impressive winning entries of 2020 TISDC to Indonesia and hold a touring exhibition at Kopi Kalyan, a well-known multi-purpose premise. Not only is it a coffee shop, it is also a place young designers often visit. In choosing this unique platform as the venue of the exhibition, TISDC hoped to facilitate more exchanges between designers and promote interaction with the Indonesian and international design community, giving Indonesian educators and students a chance to know TISDC through this exhibition. The resulting exchanges could stimulate young design students and allowed them to learn from the best of their peers from around the globe.

TISDC would like to express our deepest gratitude to Mrs. Tri Anugrah and Kopi Kalyan for their help and support. The exhibition wouldn’t have seen such enthusiastic participation from educators and students without them!

2020 Taiwan International Student Design Competition award ceremony was held on November 24, 2020 at the Theater on the 2^nd floor of Ximen Red House. There are around 200 participants joined this grand event together.

The most high-profile Grand Prix this year was awarded to Strawberry Candy by Nianze Li from the Tokyo University of Arts. Combining the topic of ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’ in the SDGs, it reflected that current society is still generally afraid of authority, afraid to speak out and indifferent to children’s rights and interests. This work contrasted the dark reality with an introverted and childlike style of painting, and the image of ‘hands’ constantly appeared in the animation, which cruelly exposes the darkness in gentle brushstrokes. The remarkable technique impressed the juries. It was a rare outstanding student work of recent years, which won the favor of most juries and won a prize of NT$ 400,000 for this student.

The Gold Prize winner in the ‘Product Design’ was HanDo Prosthetics for Kids by Feng-Jia Zheng, Kai-Jung Peng, Hsun-Ye Li, Wei-Ming Kok, Jui-Ling Lin, Yong-Qi Li, Yu-Kuan Mo, and Zhung-Kai Zheng from the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, which combined the topics of ‘Good Health and Well-Being’, and ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’ in the SDGs. This work was a prosthetic specifically designed for unilateral children amputees aged between 6 to 12 years old. Its modular design can effectively and economically solve individual needs, and connect with different scenarios. In addition, the designers focused on both aesthetics and practicality to bring confidence and a feeling of positivity to the children in the process of growth and learning. The Gold Prize winner in the ‘Visual Design’ was Numbers of Tainan Coast by Chic-Ying Ho, Xin-Jie Xie, Zhi-Yin Lu, Ting-Yi Huang, Yi-Hsuan Tseng, Yu-Cheng Lin from Ling Tung University. This work delivered the spirit of the topic of ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’ in the SDGs, applying and extending features of the sand bar, Kun-shen, which is a unique landform in Taiwan into various design pieces. In addition, this work also combined with the films and special issues, the stories of each Kun-shen were recorded, and the brand of Numbers of Tainan Coast was introduced into local places, thereby stimulating the development of regional culture and ethnic groups. The Gold Prize winner in the ‘Digital Animation’ was A Fish on My Bed by Hsin-Yu Chang, Pei-Yi Lin, Jia-Shan Shu, Chun-Ting Ou, Yun-Fei Liu, Qing Zhuang from the National Taipei University of Business. Their work is a visual presentation of menstruation. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon, but for women it is often perceived as an embarrassing monthly ritual. Through the beautiful red goldfish/menstrual blood, the beauty of conflict with the female protagonist is created, and the story ends with the contrast of love and hate of red goldfish, which resonates with the topic of ‘Gender Equality’ in the SDGs.
