SIU Kin-Wai, Michael

Through theoretical and practical activities, students from different design disciplines are motivated to apply their learning experience in improving people's quality of life in terms of living environment. Students, in their design pract ice, are also encouraged not to put focus on the producer and the product, but the user.
