JOIN THE CIRCULAR LIVING DESIGN CHALLENGE FOR CREATIVES!
The Circular Living design challenge is looking for ideas or projects in ideation phase which bring emerging practices that help enrich and empower the heritage of Hanoi in the new cultural and creative economy.
This can take shape in projects using traditional crafts, digital fabrication technologies, & extended design. We invite ideas lying in the interaction between the past and the future, the old and the new, the tangible and intangible, through innovative strategies, approaches and solutions.
We are looking for approaches to design and innovation that are multidisciplinary, innovative and sustainable, and that showcase the talents of Vietnam’s makers, designers and creatives. The Circular Living design challenge invites creative design ideas that respond to these challenges:
• Heritage, crafts and new technologies
• Distributed Design principles
• Food systems and new materials
• Waste-to-value proposals
• New Education models
Project ideas may explore these themes by drawing connections between the heritage of Ha Noi and possible pathways to create new narratives around them to design the Creative City of Ha Noi. Or by revisiting materials for urban resilience with circular production models.
APPLICATIONS CLOSED.
