DESCRIPTION
As part of the George Town Festival (Penang, Malaysia) this workshop follows the original Design DNA Nagoya (2008). 8 participants took on the challenge to capture George Town's DNA by going out on a field research and then brainstorming ideas about a product that reflects the city in a meaningful way. Meaningful being "something with a sense of purpose".
