Mariko Takagi is a typographer, a researcher, an author and designer of books and an assistant professor based in Hong Kong. She acts as an intermediary between the Western and Asian cultures in general – and between Latin letters and Japanese / Chinese characters in particular. Typography is her passion, her form of expression and at the same time her subject of research. Mariko Takagi moved from Germany to Hong Kong in 2010. This moves from a Latin letter based environment to a bilingual (Latin letters and Chinese characters) gave her new inspirations and insights to multilingual typography culture.

Keynote Speaker
Graduate School of Culture Technology in KAIST. She received her Ph.D. in School of Architecture (Computational Design) at Carnegie Mellon University. Since joining the GSCT at KAIST, her research focus narrowed down to three interdisciplinary areas that are not mutually exclusive: (1) calculation for UX + service design, (2) cultural DNA - good placemaking in urban informatics, and (3) Future Education with AI. Her research focus is on 'computational culture' as an extension of computational design. She is the Director of the Information-Based Design (IBD) Lab in KAIST. She served for the Director in Division of Arts, Culture and Convergence of National Research Foundation (NRF), Korea (2019-2021), the Secretary of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA) from 2008 to 2010, and received Sasada prize from the CAADRIA in 2019. She also serves as an Editor-in-chief of Korea Institute of Design Research Society (KIDRS).
