Daxi Daxi
Since 2018, BIAS has developed and implemented an urban festival to help Daxi township preparing for the key religious ceremony of the place. Usually, Taiwanese ceremonies are conservative and based on rural traditions that dictate a strict set of rules. To share the charm of folk beliefs with the urban public, BIAS mediated the traditions by a strategic set of design interventions and activities that provide a pop-culture vibe to the event. In particular, BIAS acted as curator and invited various young artists and designers to cooperate with those that preserve old traditions.
Daxi Daxi Local Culture Festival by BIAS Architects & Associates was selected as a creative representation of service design by the A' Design Award. Daxi Daxi Local Culture Festival was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Event and Happening Design in 2021. The A' Event and Happening Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that honors excellent design of trade fairs, award ceremonies, festivals, conferences, exhibitions, concerts, product launches, charity events and more.
