Congratulations to UW ID Professor Sang-gyeun Ahn! Ahn’s project, “Green Seed” has been selected for Honorable Mention in the 2009 Taiwan International Design Competition.

This is an excellent achievement as there were only 20 awards selected by a distinguished jury:
Dr. Mark Breitenberg, President Elect of ICSID
Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, President, Red Dot
Ms. Shashi Caan, President Elect, IFI
Prof. Russell Kennedy, President Elect, ICOGRADA

Since its inception in 2002, the Taiwan International Design Competition has become one of the most prestigious and authoritative design competitions in Asia. Winning submissions will be exhibited from 2-18 October 2009 at the Taiwan Design Center (TDC). Ahn’s project will be retained in the permanent selection of the TDC. Ahn will be travelling to the 2009 Taiwan Design Expo next week to attend the awards ceremony and exhibition.
