We are really happy to be able to participate the Circular Economy Lecture with students and teachers from Chaoyang University of Technology. It is our honor to invite Mr. Pili Wu from Pili-Wu Design to be the lecturer of the 7^th Circular Economy Lecture.

Mr. Pili Wu started with the context of sustainability and hope that students could think broader regarding the relationship between them and the world. Take example of “The National Palace Museum”, designer lead students to rethink the evolution of art and design. Designer suggest students to change their perspective and take your professors as your client, no matter what their opinion is, it is still a meaningful learning process. Designer also mentioned “Re-innovate” as his second theme, suggests students to simplify or innovate “Classic and Traditional”, so to catch up with the trends of the era. Designer also remind students to always have a sustainability mindset as their starting point. Lastly, TISDC hope students could create more work/ project with context and to have the mindset of circular economy when designing a product or visual.

There were around 60 people attended this campaign online. Many thanks to Chaoyang University of Technology!

The sixth International Design Masters Lecture Series in 2022 was held online and streamed live on TISDC’s official YouTube channel, allowing design lovers to join us whichever way! Topics of the lectures starting out with the 17 goals of the SDGs along with the continuation of this year’s theme-One World, we’ve invited three professional designers as our lecturers, including Mr. Ben Schwarz from Germany, Professor Youl Cho from Korea, and Mr. Chris Armsden from United Kingdom. The International Design Masters Lecture Series started with project director Mr. Lin’s welcome speech followed by the address from Mr. Liu, the director of National Library of Public Information.

First of all, Mr. Ben Schwarz, co-founder and design director at Manta Sleep, shared his experience by the topic of “Opportunities for Product Designers in a Fully Connected World“. By chance, he came to Taiwan and started his own business. The director mentioned that the current generation is exciting for product design, especially for designers. There are many new challenges and problems facing the world, including the epidemic, war and global warming etc.; However, there are also some new concepts in this generation, with new opportunities. Through remote work and the metaverse, director Ben tells us what other possibilities are there for young designers outside the traditional path and how to find new design ideas.

Lecture I : Opportunities for Product Designers in a Fully Connected World.

Secondly, Professor Youl Cho, currently a visiting Professor at National Taiwan University of Arts with the theme of “University Design Education: Using the Principle of Anamorphosis” to share the visual art of Anamorphosis beyond the plane, not only using specular reflection, but also using perception as an example.  He introduced many visual or scientific designs of the anamorphic principle, including many of Professor Zhao’s large-scale and well-known works: the audience holding placards at the opening venue of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Lecture ll: College Design Education: Using the Principle of Anamorphosis

Last but not least, founder of Rising Star Creative, Mr. Chris Armsden, shared his lecture: “Connecting One World through Animation.” The designer proposed that animation is to present life in a different way, carefully observe every little detail of life, and through animations, it can attract the audience’s attention, generate connection and eventually the audience will pay attention to the issue. However, it is not enough by just knowing the issue, we should think deeper on how to empathize with the issue and make a change. In Chris’s speech, we may be able to find some answers and resonance.

Lecture lll: Connecting One World through Animation

Special thanks to the three wonderful designers and their lectures. We would also like to thank Associate Project Director Mr. Lee for his closing speech. The second International Design Masters Lectures Series has come to a perfect ending. Once again, we would like to thank all the participants for making our event a huge success!

Organized by the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education (Taiwan), executed by the Department of Visual Communication Design of Asia University, and sponsored by the iSee Taiwan Foundation, Sayling Wen Cultural and Educational Foundation, and TPCA Environment Foundation (Special Award Sponsor), 2022 Taiwan International Student Design Competition held the 6th New Asia Design Workshop online on the 28th and 29th of May, 2022. Three prestigious international designers including Mr. Ben Schwarz from Germany, Mr. Youl Cho from South Korea, and Mr. Chris Armsden from the UK were invited to be the instructors of the workshop.

This year’s workshop not only takes the theme of 2022TISDC: “One World”, but also extends the 17 SDGs sustainable development goals. The three international designers used their design experiences to lead the students create and imagine design works to connect with the goal of sustainable development. They not only provided suggestions and the concepts in the field of professional design, but also guided the students to deal with difficulties and overcome with bottlenecks. Lecturers encouraged all the students to change the logic of thinking, so that the design creativity can be improved and growth!

This year, due to the coronavirus outbreak is continuing to grow, the TISDC team conducted the workshop through online for the health of the students and lecturers, so that more students who want to participate in the workshop have the opportunity to participate, and it has overcome the need for students to traffic problems in previous years. It not only promotes international exchanges, but also allows many design-loving students to interact with international designers, and it also follows the trend of technology and uses online platforms and cooperation models.

In order to break language barriers, each lecturer was accompanied by an interpreter so that students could understand what the lecturers wanted to express, thus being more involved in the workshop. An estimate of 72 students from 35 different universities and departments in Taiwan participated in the workshop.

In the two-day workshop, the three lecturers shared their own experiences and taught new design thinking, which caused the students with endless inspiration. The lecturers also gave feedback on the excellent reports of the students’ presentation and it also proving the extraordinary strength of Taiwanese students. The event is only two days in the design career of the students, and we believe that all of the students will have a great future. Although the workshop only lasted for two days, many students gave us the feedback that they benefited lot by the workshop. Students are grateful for the opportunity that provided by TISDC and also hope to participate in the workshop again next year.
