"The DBEW philosophy is a vision that integrates the aesthetic and cultural values of Asian design into the global design landscape. This mission has been led by the Oriental Culture and Design Center (OCDC) of Kookmin University in collaboration with the ADI Design Museum who host the DBEW Exhibition every year during Milan Design Week. Through this ongoing presence, DBEW has continuously introduced works that transcend the dichotomy of Eastern and Western design, setting new paradigms that influence global design education and industry."
"It aims to present a forward-looking model for design education that supports continuous and sustainable growth. Across three dynamic design tracks - Spatial & Architecture Design, Product & Fashion Design and Communication & Service Design - undergraduate and graduate students in design or those within two years of graduation are encouraged to participate in a joint submission with an educator."
DBEW Award 2026 operates as an international design competition centered on the philosophy of Design Beyond East & West, emphasizing the value of design education and the creative journey. The award invites students and educators worldwide to submit joint works across three tracks: Spatial & Architecture, Product & Fashion, and Communication & Service Design. Eligibility covers undergraduate and graduate design students and those within two years of graduation. The initiative recognizes educators' creative leadership and mutual learning processes, integrates Asian aesthetic and cultural values into global design, and sustains an exhibition presence at ADI Design Museum during Milan Design Week to influence education and industry.
