As a key milestone of Design Trust Futures Studio 2022, designer-mentees gathered at Design Trust’s space, Hong Kong to share their final design concepts in the interactive online-offline hybrid review sessions with Lead Curator Marisa Yiu, master-mentors, advisors and guest critics. Participating master-mentors included Freeman Lau, Chi Wing Lo, Kan Tai-keung, Edwin Chan, Chelsia Lau, Cynthia Sah and Dennis Chan, while advisors Wang Yiyou Daisy, Tianlong Jiao, and guest critics Louis Ng (Director, Hong Kong Palace Museum), Eric Schuldenfrei (Head of the Department of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong) also joined the session and shared their feedback and advice.

During the Design Review, designer-mentees presented their prototype models, material testing mock-ups as well as documentation of their design exploration process. In-depth dialogues among the designer-mentees and master-mentors, advisors and guest critics provided valuable support for the mentees to refine the design proposals and plan for future fabrication and production.
