ANBD是在亚洲构筑超越各地区的设计新网络，并创造有意义的交流机会为目的国际协会。
在政治、经济、文化领域，亚洲的重要性和作用已变得日益重要。用亚洲人的视野，将亚洲各地区自主的文化可视化，形成亚洲新的整体文化认同，探索未来发展方向，对创作者来说是件刻不容缓的重要工作。另外，设计的领域和内涵正不断扩大，正向全球化发展的今天，设计已经融入到各个领域，设计与艺术之间的类型区分已无明显分界。至今，如果设计已成为产业重要角色的话，今后将迎向赋予作为文化创造者的时代。
“Asia Network Beyond Desig” group is aiming to promote many valuable exchanges and to perform Asian identity through networking over various boundaries.
The territory of design is magnified and globalize today, and border between art and design, and differences of the genre are coming to be meaningless as well. The design of the past was demanded one role as industry, and this time demands design as the culture producer and the culture creator. In addition, the importance and role of Asia expand politically and economically, culturally day by day, and the effort for the development of Asia as Asian is our tasks and duties. It is going to be a foundation stone for Asia design development by sharing of artworks, researches, education, technology and thought for cooperation and exchange of Asia designers through the exhibition, ‘Asia Network beyond Design 2009’. It will be very helpful not only to developing our researches and artworks but also to accomplishing the true identity of each country and the characteristic of Asia.
