EVENT'S PROFILE:

About IDA

The International Design Alliance (IDA) is a strategic venture between the international organisations representing industrial design, communication design and interior architecture/design. The alliance was created by its founding partners, the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid) and the International Council of Graphic Design Associations (Icograda) in 2003. In 2008, the IDA welcomed the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers (IFI) to the alliance as the third partner.

About the IDA Congress

The IDA Congress is the primary event for dialogue between designers and non-design stakeholders in a summit format. The 2011 IDA Congress marks the alliance's inaugural event since its establishment in 2005. Taipei was selected as the host city after an international competitive bid process.

Design at the Edges

the edge between the design practices and other fields having a stake in design, including: science, technology, government, business and non-governmental humanitarian organisations;

the edge between design disciplines, especially industrial, communication and interior architecture/design-what do they share in common and what sets them apart;

cutting edge' work and ideas in design and in other fields: radically new, controversial, experimental, pushing the boundaries of the discipline.

2011 Taipei World Design Expo is organised and hosted by TDC and the Government of Taiwan. The Expo will be held 30 September - 30 October 2011, and is a parallel event to the 2011 IDA Congress.
