This is the tenth anniversary of the International New Designers Workshop. Reviewing the Nagoya Design Do! 2010: Design to Empower Tomorrow, we realized that issues in society that at first glance seem isolated and disconnected are, in fact, connected, and generate a huge flow. How can we provide continuity among these various objects, events, history and culture surrounding us? And what with what kind of mechanism could we transmit this continuity? Workshop directors and participants, by taking a broad definition of design, will explore through fieldwork the theme “The Connected within the Disconnected”.

In their final presentation to the audience, including businesses and representatives of the City of Nagoya, each team will make a proposal for the realization of its project.
