The award-winning works include excellent design works, design concepts and product services, and the winners are recognized by the global design community.
It is reported that the award-winning design work of Huang Lu and Pan Xiao is the excellent result of the First Youth Glasses Design Workshop named “Ouhai Glasses-Seeing the Future”. The workshop is jointly undertaken by the School of Media and Design Art of our school and the Zhejiang Optical Industry Innovation Service Complex, and the Optical Industry Designer Collaborative Innovation Center. Their work “Parker Mirror Nightclub Glasses” won the Best Creative Award and Best Potential Award in the workshop, and participated in the 2020-2021 Italian Design Award competition on behalf of the workshop.
This workshop is a powerful attempt of the curriculum system called “Three Creations, Integration of Art and Businesses” initiated by the School of Media and Design Art. The workshop adopts the teaching mode of “mentor + designer + group”.

After online and offline full discussions among the instructors, designers and students, as well as students’ novel ideas, many design works with rich market value and creativity have been created.
