PolyU Design Integrated Capstone Projects 2022

In the 2020-21 academic year, Prof. Kun-Pyo Lee, Dean of PolyU School of Design, launched the Integrated Capstone Project (InC) as a project option for all final year students. Students who joined InC (1) worked on inter-disciplinary entrepreneurial projects, under the guidance of a team of tutors from different fields, and (2) learned to strategically design socio-technical and ecological systems.

The InC of 2021-22 is the second trial. We have 28 BA design students coming from six design disciplines (product design, communication design, advertising design, environmental and interior design, interactive media, and social design), working on seven projects. The topics students are working on cover complex social, urban, and ecological problems, and include urban reactivation and co-creation, mask recycling and sustainability, air purification and STEAM education, public understanding of SEN children and family, community food scrap collection and soil care, and future work mobility. The projects will be documented as a book and exhibited at the Central Market from late-June to July in 2022.
