AIGA China
August 9, 2008 | Levent OZLER
AIGA China is a partnership with Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) to support design education in China.
The office's initial program includes developing a network of educators within China, opening discussions with them concerning the design curriculum for the future and sharing resources with them.
AIGA will also explore setting up a social networking capability that will assist students in posting portfolios, since one of the pressing needs in China is to find ways to expose students in remote campuses to others' work.
The AIGA Design Archives will be available as a teaching resource for instructors.
In addition, AIGA is translating a number of publications for use in China, beginning with the "Design Business and Ethics" series, since a critical element in bringing the next generation of China's designers into the world design economy will be to develop their understanding of the business and ethical practices in the United States and abroad.
