About Icograda Design Week in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a city of great contrast and diversities. It is so tiny, but has to many things. But does tiny mean incapable? Does many mean modern/contemporary, fulfilling and civilized? We describe Hong Kong people as very flexible and highly practical, but is that good or bad? Hong Kong is a shopping paradise, so does that mean it is taking part in consumerism and exploitation? What is the role of design in such a city? How can design influence our views? And how can designers make a positive impact with their skills in Hong Kong?
