FOREWORD

Gladys Goh,Group General ManagerNippon Paint Malaysia Group

TO THE FUTURE OF DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE, For the past decade, the Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA) has been pioneering creativity and excellence through various platforms and programmes that nurture, enrich and foster the award’s core values. We encourage young talents to push design boundaries, adopt a green sustainable mindset, design with heart for the people and a better community, champion design originality and inspire to think forward! Since the inception of AYDA in 2008, our alumni have grown leaps and bounds into prominent key players in the industry. Ten years and counting, AYDA continues to be a

presentation and ideation, as well as meaningful sharing and learning platforms such as

journey of new experiences as well as an international stage to showcase design ideas, as well as for networking and cross-learning with the presence of 13 countries across Asia. For 2018, we understand the rapid development and movements in the industry. The design world is evolving as we speak. Designers and architects are forced to think critically in their design approach for the community, the people, nature and a holistic living. We strive to challenge design boundaries and push the envelops of creativity through various means of disruptions; be it new-edge technology or a non-existent sustainability. We want to inspire the future generation of designers and architects to think ahead beyond the perimeters of design. Critical thinking and place-making become an important

the theme for AYDA 2018 is FORWARD - the approach to be ahead of norms in challenging design frontiers to bring betterment and profound values to future societies. Come and be part of the AYDA family and together, let us set our eyes in pushing design boundaries with a common purpose and in one direction – FORWARD.

INTRODUCTION

FORWARDCHALLENGING DESIGN BOUNDARIES

We are living in an era of innovative interventions and leading-edge advancements. The departure from our ‘comfort zone’ pushes us to challenge vernacular archetypes and present design boundaries – breaking the frontier of creativity in

multiple ways. As we begin to question the surrounds and the practicalities of our daily life, we aspire to be one step ahead in pursuit of bettering the quality of living for the people in our community. We set our sights on creating new sustainable,

environmental and emotional design considerations to make the world a more vibrant and colourful place.

The change for something fresh, undoubtedly, brings forth new forms of challenges and constraints. We continue to look for answers and solutions but disruptions are simply inevitable. So how can we manifest these disruptive

features prospectively and positively?

In the last decade, disruptions have tremendously impacted the design industry and we have observed a recurring pattern

disruptive technology and experimental tectonics has thrown the architecture and design community with a new challenging brief – to re-consider, re-think and re-create new codes of aesthetics outside of the box.

Within this new universal design language, it is rudimentary to respect our identities and roots as well as the cultural and traditional values of others. In the context of place-making and informing new narratives, a strong sense of place builds

the basis of a cohesive design dialectic that encourages critical thinking solutions.

Together, let us share this collective design language as we continue to re-consider, re-think and re-create new codes of aesthetics in the same direction – FORWARD.

ARCHITECTURE MANIFESTO

WHAT GOES BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF ARCHITECTURE?imagine. As the industry continues to demand for new design solutions and cutting-edge technology-driven schemes, the new creatives are challenged to think forward and challenge design boundaries. Reconsidering the bigger picture, future architects are beckoned to depart from ordinary archetypes, break the rulebooks and innovate. The building of the future is a communication tool that interacts with its surround, the vast community and the people. The language of architecture is now used to solve and resolve social, cultural, economical issues as we move forward. We constantly push ourselves to think critically for new solutions but most times, we have forgotten the values of being empathetic and sensitive to cultural needs. The people that we are designing for and the place we are designing at play a pivotal role to our approach in creating new design considerations –sustainably, environmentally and emotionally. How can you inform the idea of forward-thinking as a problem-solving tool that challenges design boundaries? Through your design proposal, what are the values that you can derive through a critical analysis to better the quality of life, social issues and community development around you?

Reconsidering the bigger picture, future architects are beckoned to depart from ordinary archetypes, break the rulebooks and innovate.

INTERIOR DESIGN MANIFESTO

CAN YOU REDEFINE INTERIOR SPACES TO CREATE NEW DESIGN NARRATIVES?The notions of ‘forward-thinking’ and ‘moving-forward’ both narrate the need to be progressive with prevalent design movements. But what lies beyond is a new undertaking of ideas and interventions; how interior designers are able to push boundaries and design outside the perimeters of being ‘ordinary’. Putting

fundamentals to create meaningful connections with spaces. upcoming interior designers to also humanise the principles of design. The ideas of comfort and the emotional approach express the way we live our daily

form of sensibility that goes beyond our comfort zone. And with story-telling taking a backseat, we now embrace the importance of place-making and story-doing. The people that we are designing for take precedence and all facets of living are being taken into consideration. The

from their potential to thrive in all aspects of design. In your design proposal, how do you synthesize functionality and emotions,

breaking boundaries and creating new interventions in the realms of commercial, hospitality, residential and institutional design? How do you emote a holistic experience for the people, while maintaining a strong sense of novelty and originality?

Putting yourself ‘forward’ challenges you to reconsider, renew and rethink design fundamentals to create meaningful connections with spaces.

Fostering new talent

NIPSEA Group, known throughout Asia as Nippon Paint, announces the establishment of the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD). The fund will provide financial aid to GSD students from Asian countries, helping to attract, enrol and support talented design scholars from the region as they work to become leaders in transforming the social and built environment. Nippon Paint’s gift of US$300,000 to establish the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund includes US$50,000 for immediate use to benefit students at the GSD. The remainder of the gift is invested in the Harvard University endowment, leveraging the funds for future support. As part of the Grounded Visionaries campaign, the GSD has increased the number of student fellowships by over 50%, and there are now 24 endowed funds expanding opportunities for talented design students.

The Harvard GSD partnership brings with it an additional programme for the Regional Winners of AYDA - rewarding both from the Architecture and Interior Design categories, a 6 weeks all-expenses paid for Design Discovery programme, where the winners will have the privilege to learn and experience intensive studio work, lectures, workshops and field trips, dDeeply immersed in a culture that is both challenging and rewarding, learning what education and work are like in design and planning professions, and emerging with a more profound understanding of the possibilities and the choices that lay before them.

The Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund represents Nippon Paint’s next step in investing in these young design leaders. This is in line with its company’s commitment to nurture the next generation of talented designers, reflected in its Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA). Launched in 2008, the event has become one of Asia’s premier design awards, serving as a platform to inspire architecture and interior design students to develop their skills and to network with key industry players and peers in the region.

“We are humbled to be able to have the opportunity to partner with Harvard University Graduate School of Design to invest into the future generation of design students through the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship. Nothing can be more rewarding than to be a small part of creating an impact or making a change in the lives of Asian students and returning home bringing with them a better future for themselves and their country,” said Wee Siew Kim, CEO of NIPSEA Group.
