Inside the Swiss Design Mindset

This March’s Switzerland visit by HKDC and strategic partners has strengthened the foundation for the upcoming Business of Design Week (BODW) 2026.

Design
Practice as Research, Research as Practice

Design is fundamentally a practice‑based discipline. From objects and spaces to systems and experiences, designers continually reshape how we live, work, and connect. But the insights behind the great design, the decision‑making, the intuitive judgments, the experimental explorations, often vanish once a project ends, leaving behind brilliant artefacts but little record of the ideas that shaped them. Compared to fields like architecture or law, design still lacks a deep tradition of theoretical methodology and has not yet established a widely shared academic knowledge system.
