Introducing the Good Design Presentation
The
Good Design Presentation (GDP) 2006 is Asia's largest design fair.
Here, nominees are announced for this year's Good Design Award in the
only system of its kind in Japan for evaluating and recognizing
excellence in design. Approximately 2,500 Good Design Award entries for
fiscal 2006 that have passed the first screening are selected in the
categories of Product Design, Architecture and Environment Design,
Communication Design, New Territory Design, and Long-Selling Good
Design*. Visitors can see the latest in design from a spectrum of
fields under one roof.
Stage Events
Presentations
and screenings take place at the venue on specially erected stages,
given by screening committee members and designers in various fields
including automotive design. Designers in hot fields discuss topics of
interest. Through wide-ranging programs, the GDP educates many visitors
on the ties between design and everyday life and inspires people by
revealing design's potential to give us a glimpse of the future. It is
acclaimed as an enjoyable way to learn about design. This year, an
extra day has been added to the event, affording time to introduce
these new projects and in anticipation of greater attendance. The event
is expected to draw some 40,000 visitors from Asia and around the
world.
One of the exhbition zones will be dedicated to design communication.
Design Communication
