Thanks to cooperation of
the Department of Industrial Design, YunTech, the Environmental Protection
Administration of the Executive Yuan (R.O.C.) and The Trade Council of Denmark,
Taipei, design elites had the chance to interact and talk with Mr. Adam Von
Haffner, Head of the Strategic Communication of INDEX: Design to Improve Life.
During this forum, Mr. Adam
Von Haffner shared the main purpose of the forum and management strategies,
awarded products, and introduced the 2015 awards of INDEX. Moreover, Mr. Adam Von
Haffner introduced a new technique for finding solutions and creating new ideas- a method called “Design
Compass.” Through this method, students from different fields could operate
with real cases, learning from them and implementing them at the same time. It
was a creative and meaningful activity and enabled interdisciplinary
cooperation that allowed students to learn more from diverse fields.
The core concepts of
Design Compass are the following 5 items. They are design thinking, environment,
sustainability, economics and society. With the core concepts, designers go
through the steps of preparation, perception, prototype development and production
of products. Through a divergence and convergence of creative methods and
applications, the best solution to problems and challenges being faced can be
chosen. The design and the possibilities created in a certain context can have
a huge impact. . During the whole process, designers use their professional
knowledge and think comprehensively because they are guided by highly organized
steps; their ideas can become more real and can be merchandized more efficiently.
The “Design Compass” forum does not only help the industry and educational
organizations to have novice ideas but also increases the added value of
products. It is hoped that new design elites of Taiwan can broaden their
international vision and can create new ideas and better products related to
environmental concerns after interacting with design experts at Design Compass.
It is hoped they can have an amazing performance at INDEX: AWARD 2015. |
