Background and Intent

The “CODE| Souvenir” project, organized by Creative Design City Nagoya and held in 2011, in which student teams proposed Nagoya souvenirs was well received. The competition, based on this project, will invite teams from laboratories or university and other educational seminars to probe the city’s identity, examine its history and culture, and from that fresh viewpoint, submit proposals for official Aichi Triennale 2013 products.

*”CODE” stands for City of Design. It also refers to a unique code or symbol possessed by each individual design city.
