Judges’ Comments
21 design professionals were invited to the Golden Pin Design Award preliminary judging round. The jury members were each assigned to one category based on their profession. The categories are Product Design, Communication Design, Spatial Design, and Integration Design.
Frankie Fan, Design Director at MOXIE DESIGN INC. (Spatial Design category), senses that spatial design is gradually shifting away from the discussion of form and style, to a focus on problem solving and technological innovation. Along with environmental issues and the development of space in aging civilizations, he is also interested in the creation of cultural learning and experience through technology. Entries that exhibit such characteristics attract his attention.
