Seven students from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, traveled to London, UK, recently to participate the London Design Festival 2013 starting from September 14 to 22, with their design projects - City Go Round, Platform Impact, and KeyFrame - Tainan.
The students are young designers from NCKU Department of Industrial Design and Department of Industrial and Information Management who had cooperated with their counterparts from Platform 17 of Royal College of Art (RCA), UK, running a joint exhibition called “Mind the Gap.”
The exhibition focuses on a series of projects designed for public hubs, especially train stations, thus bringing interactive devices and experience, according to Prof. Min-Yuan Ma, director of NCKU Department of Industrial Design.
This exhibition follows a workshop between the two schools held in April earlier this year (2013). During the Mind the Gap Workshop, students and teachers from NCKU and RCA collaborated together to discover, develop and in the end, design special products for public hubs.
The different cultural backgrounds among students sparked unique ideas via their discussion and communication.
“Through this exhibition, we hope to introduce the beauty of diverse cultures as well as how they can integrate together,” said Prof. Ma.
The three projects from NCKU were City Go Round, Platform Impact and KeyFrame – Tainan which are specially selected for this exhibition.
City Go Round is an interactive design collaborating cultural arts, information engineering and tourism, according to Yen-Chi Ho, one of the four student designers of the project
