At the end of this September, Prof. LOU Yongqi's new book, "Design Beyond: The Theme Exhibition of the World Design Cities Conference 2022-2023" was officially published by Tongji University Press. As one of the academic presentations of the World Design Cities Conference 2024 (WDCC 2024), this book provides a summary of the previous two years’ conferences and offers a tribute to the 2024 conference.
When LOU delivered his closing speech at the 3rd International Design 100 Summit Forum, which was one of the iconic events of WDCC 2024, he introduced that this book condenses the various elements of past efforts, demonstrating the process from Shanghai's initial determination to build itself as a world-class “Design Capital” to its subsequent advancement in a more solid and firm manner.
This publication presents the selected works exhibited at the WDCC 2022 and 2023 in the form of an exhibition album. It provides a comprehensive overview of the design concepts, structures, works, real-life scenes, and other multidimensional contents of the WDCC 2022 and 2023, as well as the curator's insights on the future design and the construction of Shanghai as a World Design Capital.
