2023TISDC《Campus Lecture : Circular Economy》- Tatung University－April 24th

This year’s TISDC campus lectures on circular economy have started, and I am very happy to have been invited to give a circular economy lecture at Tatung University today. I am also honored to have invited designer Zhang Zishan from Oh! Design Studio as the speaker for this lecture.

Designer Zhang Zishan began her lecture with the topic of “Circular Design as You Know It,” introducing students to what circular design is and how improving the product’s regenerative and restorative capacity is a strategy to achieve the goal of “zero waste” and fulfill social responsibility. The designer also shared circular design products published by Taiwanese brands for sustainable development goals, as well as design cases in which Oh! Design Studio participated. She reminded students to start with a sustainable mindset, aim to improve existing designs in life with the purpose of optimization, and although they may face many challenges, she still hopes that students will continue to create designs with the goal of sustainable development and fulfill their responsibilities as global citizens.

During the Q&A session, students were very enthusiastic in asking questions, whether it was about the bottlenecks in the topic they were preparing to discuss or the design examples that Oh! Design Studio had implemented. I believe that both designer Zhang Zishan and TISDC program director Chen Yanting gave students different insights and suggestions, and look forward to seeing more excellent design works from Tatung University students at TISDC this year.

Finally, I would like to thank the students who participated in this campus lecture and the support and assistance from Director Lin Jiahua, Professor Li Wenyuan, and Professor Xue Jiahe!
