The talk will examine the Capstone course for final-year students in the Social Design programme at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design. Over the past three years, Kam Fai and Charis Poon have designed, re-designed, and re-redesigned successive rounds of curricular changes in response to Hong Kong’s contemporary conditions. Informed by shifts in student cohorts, evolving conceptions of social design, new partnership opportunities, and visions of possible futures, they will reflect on the course’s role in Hong Kong’s social design ecology and future trajectories. Selected student projects will be highlighted.
