Unlimited: Designing for the Asia Pacific is a new international initiative 
supported by the Queensland Government to promote the value of design thinking 
in shaping a positive future for the Asia Pacific region. From October 4-10, 
2010, Unlimited hosts its first event in Brisbane, Australia. Beyond the 
traditional design festival, Unlimited: Designing for the Asia Pacific explores 
economic, social and environmental challenges impacting our region, and takes a 
close look at how design is making a difference.

Through the coming weeks the Unlimited Portal will develop a public dialogue and 
access point.  We will be creating content exploring what design is and can be.  
Unlimited will interview and commission some of the top design thinkers globally 
and exploring how design is impacting lives on the ground.  Unlimited will build 
an insightful picture of the Asia Pacific, developing a dialogue on how we can 
create opportunity from complex problems such as rapid urbanisation, climate 
change and poverty.
