Public Lecture: Design Society: From New Institution to Active Agent for Design by FCI on 10th January 2018
About the Talk
Design Society has opened its doors in Shenzhen, only one hour from Macau. You can visit its galleries, shops and theatre. You can enjoy the roof garden, and experience design. But whatever the individual visitor’s destination, the promise of Design Society is to provide a platform for many to explore scenarios for design in China. More than a lecture, this can be a brainstorming session for future input from Macau.
