Synopsis:

As practice of design in the 21st century moves from object and surface design to interaction and experience design, the rich tradition of Asian design assumes a new relevance. The Asian Way of design is a treasure trove capable of revitalizing modern design and giving it a much needed depth. From expressing the essence of an idea to creating multiple meanings simultaneously; from giving visible form to the most profound concepts, to creating successful mind-to-mind communication; from symbolic gestures and rituals to creation of imaginary worlds visualized in full detail; the methods and procedures of the Asian Way create experiences with great energy, richness and refinement. The appeal of Asian design comes from these.

Prof. Kohei Sugiura ( Japan), who has led a renaissance of Asian Design – inspiring a whole generation of designers all over Asia, will be the keynote speaker at the one-day seminar being organised as a companion event to the exhibition The Way of Asian Design.
