World Design Capita (WDC) Taipei 2016 extends a warm invitation to participants and 
visitors from around the world to come and share their ideas and experiences, and bear witness to Taipei’s transformation into a model city that incorporates design thinking into public policy.
“October will be a defining month for the World Design Capital Taipei 2016,” says Beatrice Hsieh, Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs of the Taipei City Government. “It is an opportunity both to reflect on the progress we have already made and to ignite international dialogue with other cities; to share experience and expertise. This is a chance to define a legacy for WDC Taipei 2016 that will be felt long into the future.”
Four major events in the WDC program will kick off in October: the International Design House Exhibition, International Design Week Forum, International Design Policy Conference, and Network of Cities Meeting.
The International Design House Exhibition will be held at Taipei City’s historic Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, bringing together local and international designers, studios, and organizations to curate a series of thought-provoking exhibitions that will challenge visitors to reconsider their relationship with the urban environment and experience first-hand how design can radically change the world’s cities.
