Eight students from Sunway University’s Department of Art and Design (DAD) recently went on an exciting alternative classroom-based learning 10-day study trip to Taiwan. The trip, led by Augustine Wong, Head of the Department of Art and Design, was planned to provide students an insight into the creative design industry across Taiwan and to provide the students with a broader view of design in preparation for their final graduation show. In preparing for the trip, the students who were mainly from the Interior Design programme were required to conduct a preliminary research in obtaining background information on the places they were to visit.
First stop Taipei, to visit the Young Designers’ Exhibition (YODEX), one of the region’s biggest events representing the entire design sector, featuring innovative designs by young design talents from various design sectors of industrial design, architecture design, media and communication design, interior design, visual communication design and much more. There, the Sunway University students were exposed to a wide range of ideas and concepts in the design industry today.
