Under the deep and detailed explanations of TASA's staff, the students realized that excellent design is not only novelty in appearance, but rather focuses on the high degree of harmony and unity of function and aesthetics. Students couldn't help but marvel at the fruitful results created by the perfect fusion of design and technology, which also provided them with a fresh perspective and dimension in examining and understanding the connotation and value of design, and made their cognition of design art to a brand-new level.
