Abstract
IIS has developed the Design-Led X(DLX) Platform with the objective of creating innovation through the fusion of design and engineering and additionally to develop design engineering education. We believe the key concept for innovation in the future is that “design should bring value to people.” As part of the core of DLX, and since 2017 the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London has jointly operated the RCA-IIS Tokyo Design Lab with IIS. The DLX Platform is now developing new projects and making prototypes for envisioning the future.
