Professor Kyun-po Lee of the Industrial Design Department was elected President of the World Design Association at the World Design Symposium held in Taiwan from December 1st to 3rd. This organization combines the Asia Design Center - which focuses on Korean, Japan and Taiwan - with the European Design Research center. Its purpose is to improve world design knowledge. Prof. Lee noted that heading the organization was an opportunity to improve the level of design. "Design is not acknowledged as having scholastic value," he said.
