What constitutes design archives? How are design archives collected and organised? Whose archives are these and for whom are they produced? What kind of forms do design archives take? How do design archives inform and contribute to narratives of design history? The Design Archives in Asia symposium addresses these questions with Asia as a focus, where design and design history are increasingly becoming concerns of public/private institutions as well as design professionals, design historians and the general public. This symposium brings together curators, scholars and archivists from, and working on Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, India and Lebanon to discuss their processes of engaging with archives and to explore expanded notions of design archives and archives as a method.
