Topic:
Working with people – the tools and techniques of inclusive
design
This workshop will give you what you need to get started
in inclusive design and work with users. It will provide
you with tools, techniques and practical experience that
you can start to use the next day.
This will be an interactive session that will outline
methods, insider tips and general advice for working with
people within the design process. It is aimed at anyone
working in the creative industry, academia or within a
business organization who wants to understand how they
can effectively utilise an inclusive approach and get
closer to the needs and aspirations of the people that
they are designing for.
Practical work will include how to conduct cost-effective
and time-effective research with people and will introduce
you to the art of interpreting the qualitative data you
might gather. Short case studies will be outlined showing
best practice.
At the end of the session, you will have a basic understanding
of how to include people in your design process, practical
tools to try out and a basic framework for using this
approach as a strategic tool for innovation. |

Asai

The “4R” stands for Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Participants will be guided to apply this approach effectively
in different stages of a project, from conceptualization,
planning, material selection and execution. They will
also learn about how creative eco-materials can contribute
to the sustainable development of society, as well as
exercise 4R approach together with Professor Asai on the
spot. The workshop is suitable for product design students

Active Ageing |
| 0900 - 1200 |
Patricia
Moore
President,
Moore Design Associates LLC, USA
Topic:
Attaining & Maintaining Quality Lifestyle in All the
Years of Our Lives
Aging is the one life experience in which all peoples,
of every culture and creed, share.
Worldwide, every government is struggling to meet the
ever-evolving needs of its populous.
Companies are actively and earnestly attempting to meet
consumer demands for the tools of everyday living for
the entirety of the lifespan.
Individuals are analyzing the quality of their lives and
those of their families and friends in terms of how they
can balance disparity needs and precious resources. How
well we manage the journey of our lifetime is dependent
on our personal attitudes and abilities to affect accommodation
and change. The global challenge to embrace the greatest
demographic revolution ever demands the development of
a new lexicon of life.
This Workshop will examine individual understanding of
aging, promote shared experience on the challenges to
lifelong autonomy and independence, and create a template
for personal and professional excellence in living the
highest quality of life for all of our years. |

Kohei
Musha *
Chairman,
Color Universal Design Organization & President,
Musha Design Project Inc., Japan |
Topic: Universal
design restructuring – Zoning of “Accessibility
design for human”
With the theme "Color Universal Design”, workshop
participant will study the approach of “Color Universal
Design” to provide the most accurate information
and the beautiful design at the same time, irrespective
of the variety of human color visions.
In Japan, barrier free design (BF) and universal
design (UD) are used as synonyms to mean “people-friendly”,
without giving much thought to their meanings. Mr.
Musha will guide the participant return to the basic
by pondering “what is people-friendly design?” from
his own perspective and many years of experience
in Universal Design. He will also explain the relationship
between UD and BF using visual zoning. |

James
Woudhuysen
Professor of Forecasting and
Innovation, De Montfort University, UK
Theme: Retail Innovation
and research for innovation: HOW TO FORECAST TRENDS
We first look at several contemporary formats in retail
design, and go on to research the innovations that gave
rise to them. What did the forerunners of these formats
look like? What was the impact of each format on the culture
of shopping? Whether at an urban scale, or whether they
are to do with architecture, interiors and detailed retailing
processes, how did retail design change as a result of
each format? We want to investigate:
Co-existence
of retail formats – supermarket versus traditional grocers,
etc
E-tailing, the use of in-store technologies and
the rise of multi-channel environments: managing the
service experience
Consumer behaviour in technology-based environments
The impact of global and local innovations
How to research and forecast trends in innovation |

Restaurant Design |

Tina
Norden
Associate Director, Conran &
Partners, UK
Topic:
Style over Function
Conran & Partners has over 25 years experience designing
restaurants, bars and private dining clubs around the
world, including the design of over 30 projects for Terence
Conran’s own restaurant business in London, New York,
Paris and Tokyo. This wealth of experience has taught
them that common themes in all successful restaurants
are singular vision, attention to detail and achieving
the right balance between style and function.
This workshop imparts some of the key lessons the Conran
team have learned over the years. Then, working in groups
to a project brief developed by Conran & Partners
for a restaurant in Asia, workshop participants have the
opportunity to put into practice their own ideas about
restaurant design. These projects will then be presented
at the workshop, enabling participants to share and discuss
their varied approaches, learning from each other and
developing valuable experience for the future. |

Rossana
Hu
Founding Partner of NHDRO (Neri&Hu
Design and Research Office), Founder of Design Republic,
China
Topic: A Room
Given the speed in which hotels are designed today, many
designers tend to just solve problems and spend little
time with the conceptual underpinning of each project.
Hotel as a commodity has taken over to a point where concepts
and aspirations are subservient to expediency and commercialization.
In this workshop, we would like to explore a generic room
(45 square meters, 4.5 x 10 meters, and 4 meters high)
and come up with conceptual ideas to create a room based
on these concepts. For the sake of this exercise, we have
selected three important historical artist as our clients.
Andy Warhol, Renee Magritte and Marcel Duchamp. Please
select your preferred guest/client and design a hotel
room for them. The room should either echo or challenge
their conviction and what they stand for. |
