KDF'09 高雄設計節 5/1~5/10

高雄設計節2009又來了！

透過設計師協會不計辛勞的再次推動，今年再度與高雄市政府文化局合作，在市府的資源介入協力下，打造今年的高雄設計節；身為籌備前期的活動策略總策劃，今年提出"PORTABLE"的活動概念，把國內外許多內容攜來港都，也強調設計能讓高雄由重變輕，除能扭轉"高雄無文化"的既定印象，也能讓發展軟實力的觀念散開，讓政府思考如何重新部署地方經濟力，重要的是，透過這個活動，能促進台灣設計社群的觀摩交流；論述很無趣啦，其實就是個結合生活+藝術+設計+音樂+座談+吃喝的設計活動！到高雄享受陽光逛逛設計嘍！

Kaohsiung, new design, we're back again!

Port city, from heavy industrial to portable.
There is a design festival full of life and creativity about to kick off at the 'Port City' of Taiwan. Carrying on the theme of KDF08: LOVE, DAT (Designer Association of Taiwan) and the Kaohsiung City Government are working hand in hand this year, applying the concept of 'PORTABLE' to spread the vitality of creativity with each of the participants. Starting with the foundation of KDF, emerging in the local cultural and architecture of Kaohsiung, we can't help but acknowledge the fact that it is a city undergoing change. Following the steadfast character of blue collars, Kaohsiung is transforming itself from a heavy industrial port into a world class cultural center.

Continuous evolution of design
Now is the time for innovation. While in Germany, there's DESIGNMAI; In London, there's The London Design Festival, the local talents in Taiwan are ready to step up to the game too. Now we can proudly shout out: Taiwan has KDF! KDF09' PORTABLE is not only suggesting that design/creativity is integrated in our everyday lives, we'd also like to emphasize its 'portability', able to be taken,moved and accessed by anyone, anytime. Design needs to be constantly diversified and challenged for the future. What kind of sparks would be created when international masters meet Taiwanese new comers? Why anticipate when you can see for yourself?
