For the past two months, San Diego’s historic Balboa Park has been home to a structure unlike any other: a twisting cathedral of orange called the Exchange Pavilion. A collaboration between Heleo Architecture + Design and Tijuana-based artist Danial Ruanova, the Exchange Pavilion represents a key part of World Design Capital San Diego Tijuana 2024's programme, a symbolic space inspired by one of the most iconic elements of the border region: the border wall itself. We sat down with the team at Heleo to learn more about how the symbolic space is connecting the region’s cross-border community in new ways.

Montreal ↔ Taiwan! Students from École de design- UdeM recently visited Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI)'s headquarters. Learn more about this #WDOMember meeting ⬇
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming the #WDO member team from the University of Montreal's Design Department for a week-long visit and workshop exchange. The visit began with a tour of the IF exhibition space, followed by an introduction to our office’s key projects and case studies. We also explored the library and design museum. During the visit, we had a chance encounter with a group of Indonesian designers who were also visiting Taiwan, and we enjoyed a brief exchange and group photo. The team from Montreal was impressed by our work and outcomes and expressed interest in future collaborative opportunities. We’re excited about the potential for future partnerships and strengthening international design connections! #DesignExchange #InternationalCollaboration #TDRI #MontrealDesign #CreativeConnections
