Thinking Creatively Conference 2019

Thinking Creatively Conference, including lectures, workshops, exhibitions, on-campus competition, is an annual event at both Wenzhou-Kean University and Kean US.

In the last few years, Matthew Senna (KU Alumni / popular designer on social media), Hong Wei / Tommy Li / Wu Yong (Members of Alliance Graphique Internationale), Gail Anderson (2018 National Design Awards Lifetime Achievement Award), Gill Kuruneri (One Show, Cannes Lion winner) and many other well-known designers have visited us.

This year, we are going to have the 3rd TCC at WKU. Michael Graves Collge of Architecture and Design at Wenzhou-Kean University cordially invites you to attend our upcoming design events.

Far from the dogmatism of any particular school of thought, Michael Graves College wishes to put together and make them dialogue, different understandings of design.

The Exhibition is organized around:
– Vernacular and Tectonic Culture (Wang Weijen, Kim In Cheurl, W-KLabs)
– Digital Fabrication ( Archi-Union, Spencer Steenblik)
– Culturally informed product design ( HU Ke)

Time: May 8 – 12, 2019 / Opening: May 8, 18:30
