Taipei World Design Expo

In recently, the most important activities in Taipei might be the Taipei World Design Expo. It has been held since last week and it would be until the end of this month. It was an expo which exhibits all kinds of design, including interior design, poster design or the most of, Industrial design. I had been looking forward to this expo for a long time. Even, it is free for everybody. Thus, I decide to go to see this expo this week with my classmate of junior high school. This exhibition venue is near our neighborhood. The day we went to was not a holiday, so there would not be too crowded. When we had arrived there, we still see lots of people falling in line in front of each hall. Thus, we made some plan and then join the other people.

The first one we enter was about the architecture and interior design. It doesn’t exhibit the real stuff or model. They just put a poster to introduce instead. Though, much of them we haven’t heard of before, their works was very famous. Some of them are the landmark of city or some might be in the part of our life, such as eslite bookstore. We can know each of their thinking when they design each of their works. And then, the second hall we went to a one with poster. All of them are in our life, but we haven’t noticed them before. For example, the movie posters, CD packages, or even the cover of books was exhibit in this hall. Sometimes, they might just be a subordinate role, but a good subordinate role could make the production well certainly. The third one, we visited some handicrafts. The line of this hall would be the longest one. However, we don’t think it would be as good as we had imagined. It displays many handicrafts from each country. As a result, we could enjoy many kinds of style at one time. However, it is hard to understand which the relationship between these works is. By the way, the idea of these handcrafts would not state well.




The next, we went to see some industrial design. It was the most one. They sorted out these production for relax, read, work and so one theme. We still could see lots of them which are in part of our life. The most of them is easy to get, but some of them have the high price just due to the good design. Another one is the museum of Taipei design; it is a by-product of this expo. On the other word, we will still exist forever after the end of this expo. It displays the history of design in Taipei and some good design which win a prize abroad. Although, we had spent our whole afternoon in this expo, there are still lots of things we hadn’t seen. We believe the design would be more and more important in our life.
