「設計週」(Design Week) 之所以迷人,除了背後的商業推動,更重要的事情是,它同時也是匯集改變力量的介面,集結教育、美學、設計思考等各種創新力量,也因此成為城市行銷的利器,更是城市創新能量的代名詞之一。在現行的設計評論、相關研究和報導當中,著重的都是設計師個人以及作品本身,對於承載內容的設計週平台的運行與規劃之相關探討,可說是相當稀缺。有鑑於此,當年在規劃國際設計週論壇時,其中一個重要的目的就是讓各國設計週能夠有機會透過深度交流,探討「辦理設計展會」的組織單位面臨的瓶頸與困境,並從中找到可能的、且具有開創性的解決方案。這樣的規劃對於當時屬於各自為政的各國設計週平台夥伴們,實為一個難得的機會。...

Curiosity opens up the unknown adventure, motivating the journey of exploration that derived from the passion for life. Let us see how design impact the world and bring happiness to our lives.

Get out of your comfort zone, break down the boundaries and find more possibilities. Design is more than just objects beyond time-space and cultures. We need unlimited possibilities and extraordinary ideas, new ways of thinking and more experiments. The characteristics of crossover design – affect wider, think further, feel deeper and get closer – turn on the limitless infectiousness.

Together across uncertainty of the end of the world, analyzing all the things we used to take for granted, we realize that through each person we met, each object we own and relationships we have, design is what brings us a better life. Great design is not only what turns the world around. It’s hidden in every small part that surrounds us. “Designer” is not just a title, but an attitude of facing every unknown ahead.

Looking back on the past means to reflect, cherish, understand the history and the accumulated culture and wisdom, to be used as a rich inspiration base; look to the future means a more far-sighted pattern, thinking about how to create a more sustainable tomorrow.
