IMAGINE THE FUTURE! Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2009 Imagine being in your early 20s, sitting in the audience of a couple of thousand or more, in the National Centre of Performing Arts in Beijing, one of the world’s most spectacular new architectural structures, surrounded by design greats such as Ahn Sang Soo, Don Ryun Chang, Min Wang, Ruedi Baur, Victor Margolin, Marc Alt, LUST, Laurence Madrille, Carsten Nicolai, Fiona Raby, Michael Vanderbyl, Sol Sender and a long list of others, whom you have studied for the past four years or more.
You’re staring at the gigantic projection screen, which is the size of an Imax theatre. Suddenly your name is announced as one of the winners of the 2009 Adobe Design Achievement Awards. In a haze, you walk up to the majestic stage and hear the applause of the massive audience from all over the world, recognising your creative achievement. To top it all, you receive your award from Victor Margolan, one of the world’s most respected design theorists.
