Heritage is Innovation Design Dialogue
Heritage is innovation
Design dialogue
Design Trust Futures Studio makes visible the processes and positive role of design in the culture of contemporary design and production. In 2019, under the theme of ‘HERITAGE IS INNOVATION’ new conversations and site-specific objects are created at the historic 1936 Haw Par Mansion in Tai Hang curated by Marisa Yiu (Co-founder/ Executive Director, Design Trust).
The “Heritage Design Dialogue” and sharing takes place- weather permitting on the rooftop of Haw Par mansion- Friday 20th September 2019. Topic focuses on ‘DESIGN INNOVATION & CULTURAL HERITAGE’, highlighting the role of heritage, history, and archives in design, and the significance of innovation in materiality, craft-making, and design thinking in contemporary culture. Through a cultural lab design approach, how do we design from our collective memory infusing local values and global reach? What is the importance of innovation in cultural heritage, and how do we create new models of learning and prototyping processes?

Co-creating Hong Kong
A design exhibition
As part of the Co-creating Hong Kong design exhibition organised by Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) and funded by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in San Francisco, Julie & Jesse is showing their latest installation of 24 porcelain vases called ‘The Jingtao Cichang Project’.
Featuring 14 unique projects by Hong Kong’s leading and emerging creative talent, “Co-creating Hong Kong” illustrates how design can foster innovation and bring new perspectives on technology, sustainability, and community.
The exhibition experience starts with interactive technology-oriented projects, leading into sustainability and community’s works. All of the works are supplemented with captions and behind-the-scene materials supplied by participating designers to offer a multi-layered experience.
Co-creation refers to the design process, and their collaborative synergies in carving out Hong Kong’s unique character. It also reinforces Hong Kong’s continual creative collaboration with a dynamic range of cities and countries.
Through an array of design projects and its behind-the-scene stories, design is illustrated as a co-creative methodology to create experiences for forging new dialogues across disciplines, craft and technology, history and the future and diverse communities.
This exhibition is co-hosted by the Hong Kong Design Centre with the support of AIGA San Francisco – the professional association for design.
