City Hall Design Exhibition

Although the Singapore Design Festival is officially over, there are still some design exhibitions going on at the Vivocity. Alright I have not visit yet but will do so next week.

Two weeks ago, I went to City Hall building whereby there were several design events. Of all the design exhibitions, I like the Taiwan design and the British design. Unfortunately, the 50 years Creative British did not allow visitors to take photograph. I like the British team as they infused pop and loud music in the exhibition and they featured successful artists like the Spice Girls and top designers like SeymourPowell and successful author J.K Rowling in a short video showcasing British creative industy achievement. There is another section which exhibit Benoy, which design the ION orchard. They also explained how they came up with the idea through their sketches.


Of all the Chinese societies, I like Taiwan best as Taiwanese people are really kind and helpful. In addition, they have really talented people such as Jay Chou who rose to the top as he can really write great music.

Last year, I went to Taiwan and I was really impressed with their graphic and retail design. Their work has this 'wow' factor and you can feel the bright and colourful society they have, as evident in their Blue and Green parties. If you observe Taiwan, they enjoy freedom which sometimes can be too messy-riots. Nevertheless, they produce the best musician and some of the best director like Lee Ang and designers in Chinese region.
