好的設計不光只重視美感,更要為問題找出解決辦法,讓生活變得更美好。其實放眼過去,我們身邊全是令我們生活變得更方便的設計,它們都是解決問題後研發出來的結果。像是鬧鐘的設計,是為了解決睡過頭的問題;椅子的設計,解決了人們坐下時感到不舒適的問題;電腦的設計,解決了處理複雜數字運算的問題。 日本的Good Design Award 優良設計獎便是體現此原則的佼佼者,被選中的設計中,擁有漂亮的外殼是其次,能夠為「為人們生活、產業和社會變得更加富足」才最重要。根據Good Design Award的理念,不論有形無形,只要能夠幫助人們實現某種理想和目的而設計的事物,都會被視為設計。「發現」、「共享」、「創造」是Good Design Award不可或缺的元素,三者相輔相乘,透過新的「發現」,與社會大眾「共享」,繼而激發下一個「創造」。 2018年的Good Design Award得獎結果早前出爐,這些作品叫人們重新審視「設計」的定義,當中的Grand Award更有別於過往的作品,證實「能改善生活的也是設計」的概念。 Grand Award Winner – Otera Oyatsu Club 本年度的大賞可以說是令人跌破眼鏡,因為得獎的竟然是一個和尚!這個和尚究竟是如何贏過眾多設計師,贏得這個受世界青睞的獎項? 來自奈良安養寺的松島靖朗住持,不懂任何美學設計理念,他只單純地創立了一個旨在解決日本的貧困問題的「寺廟零食俱樂部」(otera oyatsu club)。 表面五光十色的日本,原來平均每7個孩子中就有1個孩子處於貧窮,當我們在為「吃哪一家餐廳好?」而煩惱時,他們則是為得到一餐溫飽而煩惱。另一方面,每年日本寺廟都會收到大量由民眾獻給神明的各種供品,如食物、水果、日常品等,可惜這些供品最後大多都是被丟掉,造成浪費。松島住持於是便下決心,發起這個獲獎項目,聯同其他寺院,把這些供品轉贈給貧困兒童和低收入的單親家庭。直至現在,已經有980間寺院參加這項目,每月約有9千名兒童因此得益。 這個不一樣的得獎獎項,雖說是一個活動概念,但它對孩子們是一股生存的力量,為他們帶來了美好的生活。 Gold Read More
