As Hong Kong's first iconic comprehensive design school, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (“PolyU Design”) has been a vital hub for design education and research, offering world-class undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to nurture creative talent across various industries.
This publication traces PolyU Design's journey from the Hong Kong Technical College to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, capturing responses to changes in industry policies, technological advancements, and insights from thought leaders. It provides a deeper narrative of design development in Hong Kong, allowing readers to understand the School's history and the relationship between design education and the social and economic transformations in the city through a visually appealing and systematic timeline.
The project team dedicated over a year to interviewing individuals from various eras and sectors, each with different connections to the School’s evolution. In addition to utilising the School's internal collections, they sourced valuable materials and artifacts from alumni and other channels. Through meticulous organisation, editing, and design, this significant initiative has come to fruition.
Chapters: (1) Outroduction, (2) Leadership, (3) Programme Evolution, and (4) Research Paradigm.
