大赛介绍 Introduction
In common with every area of our lives, the design discipline is encountering unprecedented challenges and enormous opportunities. One of these opportunities is a fundamental reappraisal of design education embracing global trends of inclusivity, sustainability and world-class standards. In this context, Beijing Institute of Technology is launching the Practical Design Innovation Award (PDIA) to promote the area of practical design education to celebrate outstanding examples of this work from around the world.
We define Practical Design as work that is developed in response to a specific problem or situation, employing a rational design approach to achieve a design that is fit-for-purpose, tested and applicable in a real-world scenario.
面向对象 Eligibility
All students enrolled in (and recent graduates from) a design course at any higher education institution are eligible. An entry may be derived from graduation work, coursework, or work specifically developed to fit with the competition requirements. Students may participate individually or as part of a team.
大赛要求 Competition Brief
Entries may be in any area, including but not limited to product design, industrial design, service design, spatial design, interaction design. The work should be developed in response to a real-world problem or situation that the project has identified. The scale of the problem is of secondary importance to the innovation and creative thinking displayed. Entries should be able to demonstrate how the design has been prototyped and tested and should communicate a design that is fit-for-purpose, tested and applicable in a practical sense.
