Designing Time: PolyU Design to kick off its 60th Anniversary Celebrations in March

For Immediate Release

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (hereafter referred to as "PolyU Design" or "the School") has been an important hub for design education and research in Hong Kong, offering quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in design to nurture creative talent across a wide range of industries. The School is celebrating its 60th anniversary which features a series of compelling activities, including the highlighted activity “One to Ten — PolyU Design Outstanding Alumni Exhibition”.

PolyU School of Design 60th Anniversary Celebrations revolves around the theme "Designing Time," symbolizing the integration of time into design. One hour in a space, whether it's a home, a building, or an open piazza like the campus square, encapsulates the idea of designing experiences, moments, and interactions that inherently involve all our senses and cross all design disciplines. And over time, PolyU Design has nurtured thousands of design graduates over the past six decades. Their designs have changed the world, showcasing the transformative power of countless "hours" in their work.
