Experience Design
Award received
Young Battle Design Contest 2019: Top 36 Graduates
Background
The Middle Way (中道) is a Buddhist concept that rejects dualism and emphasises non-discrimination. Since Buddhist philosophy can be difficult to understand through literal explanations, audiences are encouraged to interact with two specially designed features: the Sand Drawing Panel and the Virtual Meditation Space. These features allow individuals to feel and experience the profound philosophy. The project uses a customised font as the Middle Way language and is a self-initiated challenge that aims to find and embrace the intersection of religion, philosophy, and visual design.
