design for all
future technology and daily living

the motto of seoul international design competition 2010 envisions the realization
of an egalitarian society and human values through design proposals that are easy, convenient,
and pleasant to use. especially in the environment of a contemporary city, as well as product
and space, the importance of communication is rapidly increasing (most of it is based on
digital technology), and design can bring convenience, safety, equality and pleasure to citizens
through establishing a new order between components constituting a city.

the ‘design for all’ objective is made to increase the efforts and the pursuit of design production
that can be shared by all, removing emotional and physical barriers by becoming an universal
communicative social solution.





entries can include anything that is designed for public spaces, facilities,
and visual information, along with outcomes and products which deal with or publicize
the urban problems, or promote seoul outwardly.
