The 2024 Taiwan Design Exhibition's university response is all about the "Industry Preparatory" concept, which tightly connects design education with real-world industry practices. Through this initiative, design students get the chance to work closely with professional designers and manufacturers, exploring the historical and cultural richness of Tainan's old city. They draw inspiration from the city's alleys, historic buildings, local crafts, weaving these elements into their street furniture and seating designs.

These creative projects go beyond just showcasing design skills—they're a deep dive into cultural exploration and hands-on practice. Through guided tours, video documentation, sketches, model-making, and workshops, these works will be displayed to the public, giving people a behind-the-scenes look at the whole journey, from inspiration and design to industry collaboration. This also sets a solid foundation for the future Tainan Design Festival, showing how design education can be closely linked with city culture and industry growth, and sketching out a promising future for design in Tainan.
