The Academy of Design (AoD) launched their latest concept ‘AoD 3.0’ aimed at promoting design and innovation to the public, with a move to their new home in the Colombo Innovation Tower at No. 58 Lauries Rd, Colombo 4 on November 28. 
‘Reveal’ the annual display of young design talent of the graduating batch was held from November 28 to December 1, to celebrate the launch. “There is something interesting happening on each floor of all 18 floors of the Colombo Innovation Tower, displayed and exhibited by the 2019 graduating batch of AoD. It is all about inspiring the citizens of the country to see the world outside because design is a new subject to all of us, I believe.
