DESIGN BOND 纽带 China Calling Conference at DDW

Bonding through design

A “bond” is the condition of being held together, a relationship which connects us and remains throughout time. Join us for the online conference, Design Bond, to celebrate our bonding with people, nature and culture through design. The first part of the programme Design Bond: Nature features key speakers Tjeerd Veenhoven, award winning Dutch designer, and Caroline Cheng, artist, curator and co-founder of Yi Design, who will present their highly innovative circular design projects. The second part of the programme Design Bond: Technology brings Daniel Zhang, architect and CEO of Broad Core Building and Hendrik-Jan Grievink, artist and designer to the fore, who will share their respective visions on the future of technology. The sessions will be concluded by a discussion with participating speakers. The presentations will be accompanied by an interview with photographer Matjaž Tançiç and his recent work in Shanghai, and a performance by young design talent Kexin Hao. The programme will be moderated by journalist and writer Michiel Hulshof.
