In order to meet international standards and support the local young designers, design departments in high schools, vocational schools, and colleges in Taoyuan City, the Taoyuan City Government has teamed up with schools, companies, and experts from international cities allied with Taoyuan City and schools located in leading cities in the field of international design to participate in the curation and forum. Thus, this event will stimulate Taoyuan’s design power and innovative thinking, enhance the development of Taoyuan’s design industry, and build the design capital of Taiwan in Taoyuan. The event will be held from November 10th to 18th, 2024. We will invite international design masters to give talks and conduct two focus discussions to stimulate youth design creativity and promote international design exchanges. The Forum brings together design experts, scholars, and industry leaders from all over the world, including the head of Open House London, the home of the urban aesthetic campaign Open House Worldwide, the head of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, the sustainability expert from Chiba University in Chiba, Taoyuan’s sister city, and the founders of the Vietnam Design Week and the Vietnam Design Awards. In addition to the wonderful speeches and discussions, there is also a youth design exhibition area, displaying works from the 130-year-old Japanese architectural firm Mitsubishi Jisho, chief architect Fuji Takiaki, the company in charge of the mixed reality of the waterfalls at Singapore Changi Airport, designers from Venice, Japan, and Vietnam, and the Taoyuan Design Cool. There are also five local universities and three senior high schools from Taoyuan City participating in this exhibition, displaying the excellent works created by their students. These pieces not only demonstrate the aesthetic value of design, but also reflect profound thinking about the future development of society. We look forward to discussing the global design future, the integration of emerging technology and design, and how design can make an impact in different cultural backgrounds together in 9 days. The theme of the forum is “Design for the Future”, which promotes international thinking, exchange, and cooperation through the perspective of design.
