About Royal Lab Morphis Kev Txhawb Nqa Zej Tsoom

Royal Lab pab txhawb los ntawm cov qauv, pib txhim kho kev txawj ntse hauv lub sijhawm kawm ntawv, tsis yog tom qab. Tus kheej muaj tsim los ntawm kev nqa cov kev cuam tshuam tiag tiag ua ntej kawm tiav. Kev sib raug zoo uas tsim tau hauv lub sijhawm nyob (residency) txuas mus rau cov haujlwm ywj pheej, thiab lub network no tseem ruaj khov ua cov qauv txhawb nqa kev txawj ntse dhau ib lub program twg. Xyoo 2026 nws txuas mus rau kev txaug ntoo Hida ntawm qib loj. Kev rov ua dua tuaj los ntawm kev txuas mus tsis tu ncua ntawm cov qauv, tsis yog cov ntsiab lus rov luam. Thaum kev nkag tau, kev xa mus, thiab kev lav phib xaub ua haujlwm raws li cov xwm txheej ntawm cov qauv, kev txhim kho kev txawj ntse yuav dhau los ua ib qho tshwm sim los ntawm kev tsim qauv (system design).

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Hlau

Cov neeg yeej Hlau qhia txog kev txawj loj, kev paub tshwj xeeb siab, kev nkag siab ntawm cov kws tshaj lij thiab lub peev xwm tsim ntawm cov neeg tsim. Royal Lab Morphis Kev Txhawb Nqa Zej Tsoom xav tias yuav yog ib qho khoom tsim uas neeg hwm, qhuas thiab hlub uas siv tau thiab tsim tshiab. Cov qauv tsim yeej A' Design Award Hlau no sib xyaw cov kev coj ua zoo tshaj plaws ntawm kev lag luam thiab muaj cov yam ntxwv siv tshuab txawj ntse txuas nrog kev paub thiab txuj ci. Royal Lab Morphis Kev Txhawb Nqa Zej Tsoom tau txais kev hwm vim nws tag nrho thiab tsim los muab kev txhim kho rau lub neej uas pab ua rau lub ntiaj teb zoo dua.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This project establishes a design-centered learning ecosystem that redefines streets, museums, and community venues as contextual laboratories. Unlike conventional programs, it brings together cultural heritage, collaborative creation, and international exchange directly within real-world settings. Supported by a volunteer-based structure, the initiative nurtures socially conscious creators and builds a sustainable framework that connects traditional craftsmanship with contemporary practice.
Dimensions & Packaging: The Borderless Learning model, implemented through Royal Lab in Tokyo between 2023 and 2025, applied a case study approach combining participatory observation and documentary evidence. More than 150 participants engaged in five workshop cycles coordinated by a twelve-member team (five core staff and seven interns). Activities held in museums, community venues, and studio environments facilitated cross-cultural exchange and intergenerational knowledge transfer, establishing a strong foundation for future adaptation and expansion.

Production Technology: Our methodology treats education as an innovative production system in which relationships, knowledge networks and cultural assets function as core materials. These components are shaped through participatory processes that combine digital documentation with sustainable material experimentation. Together they form a Knowledge Replication Protocol, an adaptable and resilient framework designed to support skill transfer across diverse cultural and geographic contexts.
Design Challenge: The primary challenge was establishing credibility. The initiative confronted skepticism within exam-oriented educational cultures and concerns regarding safety and liability. Progress became possible only after generating verifiable outcomes and building partnerships with respected institutions such as Dentsu, ggg, and JAGDA. These collaborations demonstrated that community-based learning can operate professionally, securely, and with lasting cultural impact.
Research: Our evaluation of the Borderless Learning model shows its effectiveness in reducing the gap between conceptual understanding and practical skill. Based on insights from more than 150 participants across multiple cycles, the project demonstrated measurable improvements in hands on capability and intercultural communication. The findings indicate a scalable approach for addressing educational inequity and supporting cross generational knowledge exchange through community driven practice.
Inspiration: As a design studio working closely with industry and cultural partners, we observed a persistent gap between academic theory and practical application in Taiwan's learning environment. Inspired by Japanese mentorship models, we envisioned a borderless framework that equips learners with applied skills and cross cultural awareness. This initiative responds to shifting societal conditions and strengthens the link between education and industry, turning learning from passive absorption into an active force for social impact.
Project Duration: Our methodology views education as an innovative production system in which relationships, knowledge networks, and cultural assets function as core materials. These components are shaped through participatory processes that combine digital documentation with sustainable material experimentation. Together they form a Knowledge Replication Protocol, an adaptable and resilient framework designed to support skill transfer across diverse cultural and geographic contexts.
Operation Flow: This model operates through an iterative learning cycle that replaces static classrooms with in situ Living Labs. Each cycle begins with a community identified challenge and continues with field based collaboration among students, mentors and local participants to co develop practical solutions. The outcomes, including tangible results and accumulated insights, are reintegrated into the system to attract new volunteers and support continuous improvement with every iteration.
