Design and Society @HKDI - Social Architecture Installation by HKDI DESIS Lab x RSA
The HKDI DESIS Lab proudly presents the Social Architecture Installation, exhibited at HKDI Design Boulevard from 19-30 Jan 2014, as the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) Student Design Awards.
Since 1924, the RSA Student Design Awards has challenged students and recent graduates to think differently about design, through tackling briefs focused on real-world problems. It aims to bridge the gap between industry and education by offering realistic, industry-led project briefs and awarding prizes aimed at developing the experience of individual students and enhancing their career prospects. The HKDI DESIS Lab invited the RSA Design Team to visit the HKDI and conduct workshops with students to nurture design ideas for society.
The results of Social Architecture @HKDI, a design experiment led by French-Japanese Inventor Cesar Harada, creator-in-residence at HKDI, senior TED fellow, and built by participants recruited via social network will be showcased at the Social Architecture Installation. The Opening Night will be held on 23 Jan 2014, Thursday which includes exciting programmes as follows:
• 6pm Lecture by Cesar Harada (MA, Royal College of Art London) senior TED fellow with introduction by Sevra Davis, Associate Director of Design, RSA
• 7pm – 9pm Drinks, cupcakes and music
