Special Workshop: The 48 Hour Marathon for Universal Design

 This event is based on user-participating workshop activities that IAUD started in 2004 and the user-interactive special workshop "The 48 Hour Design Marathon"held in 2006, 2007 and February/December 2009.
This event, as part of The 3rd International Conference for Universal Design in HAMAMATSU 2010 to be held at Act City Hamamatsu convention center, is intended to propose diversified designs that produce universal and attractive scenes in everyday life while considering a specific local environment in Hamamatsu with its rich international flavors.
In addition, the 48 hour design workshop is held inviting not only IAUD members and member companies' designers as main participants but also people from overseas. Through the workshop, it is our intention to promote social cognition for universal design activities and to find future leaders and develop human resources.


Outline of activities

Participants from IAUD members and domestic/overseas participants are divided into 6 teams under 6 predetermined team leaders. Each team creates a competitive design within the time limit (48 hours) based on the theme provided on the first day of the workshop.

The first half of the 48 hours is mainly used to visit the actual living environment with users and identify various problems. The latter half is mainly used to generalize the design and to create materials for a presentation.

The public presentation is given live for all visitors and mass media who agree the purpose of this workshop, and the excellent creations are rewarded through a public review by participants in the workshop.

For details, please refer to Implementation Plan.
