2020TISDC New Asia Design Workshop Had Passed Off Successfully
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 iSee Taiwan Foundation, Sayling Wen Cultural and Educational Foundation, TPCA Environment Foundation, 2020 Taiwan International Student Design Competition held the 4th New Asia Design Workshop at Asia University on 17th and 18th of October, 2020. The workshop intends to encourage students in cultural exchange and build up Taiwan Design’s international status and image. Three prestigious international designers including Mr. Gideon Loewy from Denmark, Mr. Felix von Bomhard from Germany, and Mr. Gerard Jasperse from Netherlands were invited to be the instructors of the workshop, and with the cooperating teacher Assistant Prof. Hung-Wen Hsu, Assistant Prof. Hsiao-Pei Hou and Associate Prof. Jia-An Lin, the event was rounded off successfully.
The New Asia Design Workshop targeted at the theme of “Action” of 2020 Taiwan International Student Design Competition. The international instructors led the students to think, observe and experience creatively. Not only could it broaden their horizon but also gain more inspiration to finish their work with different concepts. To break the language barrier between lecturers and students, each lecturer was accompanied by an interpreter so that students could understand what the lecturers wanted to express immediately and correctly and thus get more involved in the Workshop. The Workshop boosted international exchange and provide students who are interested in design with an opportunity to learn from international design experts face to face. There are around 90 students from 14 universities and departments in Taiwan attended the Workshop.
After the two-day workshop, students got inspired by the experienced designers and had came out with new thoughts and new design energy. Some students also mentioned that it was such a pity that the workshop only lasted for two days and hoped they could have more time to learn from the instructors. At the same time, the instructors were deeply touched by the student’s devotion to the workshop and were all impressed by the works which the students produced in such a short period of time. Students have also made friends from different fields with the same interest, experienced team work and brain storming which gave them an unforgettable experience.
