TAIPEI, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Forging Alliance of Circularity through Design, Connecting with the World from
Taiwan
In 2022, organized by the Industrial Development Bureau under Ministry of
Economic Affairs, executed by TDRI, and curated by CHU-Studio, <the SPIRAL –
Circular Design Exhibition> has the longest exhibition period and features the
most circular design cases and exhibits in the history of TDRI's circular
design exhibition, and invites a total of 67 exhibitors to showcase 245
exhibits. Domestically, 35 exhibitors participate in the exhibition with 163
exhibits; internationally, organizations and agencies in Thailand, Germany,
Japan, and Denmark, including Creative Economy Agency (CEA), Thailand, the
Trade Council of Denmark, Japan Institute of Design Promotion (JDP), have
offered great support and assistance, recommending a total of 32 exhibitors
with 82 exhibits. CEA also signed a Letter of Intent with TDRI during the
opening ceremony to explore opportunities of further cooperation on the topic
of circular design.
<the SPIRAL – Circular Design Exhibition> uses "the SPIRAL" as the inspiration,
which means continuous rotation, advancement, and expansion of matter, energy,
and consciousness along a chronological axis. Based on this idea, the
exhibition presents four main areas; Exhibition Area 1: "SPOT – Current
Situation" immerses visitors in dusty mist to experience the current situation
of environmental destruction through an immersive art performance brought by
"Loudly Lightning Limited Company;" also, their work "Countdown" displays a
countdown clock to 2030 with constantly changing numbers of hour, minute, and
second, and the word "crisis," aiming to trigger a greater sense of urgency in
people through light and sound, reflecting on the urgency and importance of
solving environmental issues.
Exhibition Area 2: "ECHO – Proposed Actions" showcases circular design
products, allowing visitors to physically perceive the scenario of being
surrounded by circular merchandise through simulation of familiar spaces from
daily life, office, to outdoor market, and understand that circular life can be
sophisticated and wonderful. The exhibition area also calls for consumers to
launch consumer actions to set circularity in motion, achieving the mission and
vision of localization is internationalization and rotation for circularity.
Exhibition Area 3: "ECHO – Exploration of Possibilities" integrates exhibitors
with the "Pandemic Section" and "Designers Section" using the Five Circular
Business Models by Accenture and presents future designs, such as innovative
flow of design and design strategy, to bridge the commercial and design ends
for circular opportunities. The area showcases new materials made from recycled
waste materials and consumer products for diverse everyday life applications
developed by Taiwanese designers in collaboration with local industries and
academic institutions, promoting another important aspect of the development of
circular design—rent instead of buy.
Exhibition Area 4: "360-degree International Connection" connects with public
and private organizations from Denmark, Germany, Japan, and Thailand, to focus
on the development of solutions for international environmental issues,
corresponding international policies, and countermeasures of private
organizations. Not only will they see the wonderful images of Taiwan's
landscape, the menus of "Circular Sharing Table Project" recommended and shared
by celebrities will also appear on the screen. The curatorial team uses
"circular menus" to combine Taiwan's local circular design products to dialogue
and exchange with international partners, displaying the spirit and look of
localization is internationalization and rotation for circularity.
"Every consumption determines our future." TDRI initiates a series of circular
design activities to connect the industries through the power of design and
amplify the effects of circular economy, driving the influences of Taiwan's
circular design, and ultimately setting all consumers, designers,
manufacturers, and policy in motion, as whether we choose to rotate or not will
be the most important decision to mankind's sustainable revolution.
