Kookmin University Partners with Global Design Association ADI to Launch International Design Award
- 25.10.28 / 전윤실
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul), a leader in Korean design education, is partnering with the world-renowned industrial design association ADI (ASSOCIAZIONE DESING INDUSTRIALE, Director Andrea Cancellato) to launch an international design award.
Founded in Milan in 1956, ADI has made significant contributions to the advancement of Italian design. Notably, it serves as the judging body for the Compasso d'Oro, awarded exclusively to Italy's finest design products, playing a major role in promoting Italian design worldwide.
As part of its 10 major new initiatives commemorating its 80th anniversary, Kookmin University has jointly planned this award with ADI to promote the excellence of its leading design education and secure sustainable growth momentum as a world-class educational institution.
The DBEW (Design Beyond East and West) AWARD aims to discover talents who pursue harmonious design where Eastern and Western values coexist, as its name suggests. By recognizing young design talents with outstanding creativity and the professors nurturing them, the award plans to emphasize fostering interdisciplinary design across various fields, such as technology and design, humanities and design.
Following the signing of an MOU in April to discuss the specific planning intent and vision of the DBEW AWARD, an opening event related to this was held at Kookmin University's Myungwon Museum on Wednesday, October 22. Attendees included Kookmin University President Jeong Seung Ryul, ADI DESING MUSEUM Director Andrea Cancellato, professors from Japan's Musashino Art University, China's Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, and Kookmin University, who engaged in discussions.
President Jeong Seung Ryul of Kookmin University stated, “The DBEW AWARD is a crucial initiative that elevates Kookmin University's status as an educational institution poised to become a global leader in the design field, going beyond a simple award ceremony.” He added, “Starting with South Korea, Japan, China, Italy, and the United States, it will significantly contribute to attracting outstanding international talent through global promotion and, in the long term, to establishing ourselves as a global leader in design education.”
