Held last Thursday at the JW Marriott South Beach, the ceremony celebrated exceptional design across Architecture, Digital Design, Experience Design, Fashion Design, Product Design, Spatial Design, Sustainable Design, Visual Design, and our Special Category: Food Unbound.
This year's theme, "The World is Your Oyster", set the tone for a powerful Opening Panel discussion on "Good Design Leads Good Transitions", moderated by Mr Yong Jieyu (Co-Chair, SG Mark Awards, EXCO Member DBCS, Founding Director of STUCK), featuring:
๐น Ms Yvonne Soh, CEO, Singapore Green Building Council
๐น Mr Mark Yong, Presidential Advisor, Singapore Furnitures Industries Council, Executive Director, Ewins Pte Ltd
๐น Mr Rainer Wessler, Chief Design Officer, DBS
The panel dug into what it means for design to move beneath the surface, inside a wall, beneath a process, behind a screen, and what that shift asks of designers, businesses and industries:
1๏ธโฃ What is good? Redefining what good design means.
2๏ธโฃ How do we get there? Designing transition and bringing people along.
3๏ธโฃ Are we actually changing anything? Moving from sustainability intentions to systemic action.
4๏ธโฃ What does change do to us? AI, work, identity and what we have to let go.
5๏ธโฃ How do we know it was good? Moving from craft and outputs to consequences and evidence.
