Beijing Design Week
Beijing Design Week (BJDW) is an annual event that takes place in Beijing, China during the fall. In 2012, UNESCO named Beijing an “International Design Capital.” The purpose of Beijing Design Week is to raise public awareness of design as well as to help develop stronger design infrastructures and discourses in Beijing.
BJDW is an initiative of the Ministry of Education of the PRC, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the PRC, the Ministry of Culture of the PRC, and the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality’s. It is undertaken by Beijing’s Gehua Cultural Development Group and Beijing Industrial Design Center.
Including the integration of digital technology, augmented reality, and media networks in heritage projects Hybrid Heritage also focuses on the transnational dimensions of heritage as elements of cultural hybridity in today’s globalized world. Hybrid Heritage addresses Hybrid Communities and ‘glocal’ places, and develops contemporary interpretations of traditional multicultural practices, such as the Silk Road network.
