「跨域」設計時代

從事空間設計須考慮的面向很多，包括功能、尺度、動線、材料及氛圍形塑等等，著實不易；而要從寥寥幾張圖去評空間設計獎項之作品，更屬困難，所幸主辦單位在今年的大賽徵件中，將作品細分為6類，清楚劃分範疇，讓評審在評比時具公正客觀。雖評審僅能從設計者對其作品之扼要解說，對照平面、立面及完成圖去作判斷，還好評審來自不同的專業領域，個個閱歷豐富、慧眼獨具，了解設計的共同語彙，多能從小見大，以一知十，在討論過程中，評審間觀點頗多相近之處。個人認為在這次參賽作品水準較去年為高，設計者多具國際宏觀，材料選用嚴謹，不時將綠色設計概念之溶入作品中。也能加入人文的氛圍，讓作品更具可讀性，這是可喜現象。但亦有可以再精進的地方，比如對美學的敏銳度未能精準的掌握，跨域設計的介面處理未拿?得宜，最重要的是在處理空間設計時，不要忘記「人」是空間的主體，忽視人的存在，空間就會也僅是空間而已。

這次參與評審對主辦單位的用心規劃，並邀請國際評審透過網路共同參與，在在顯示這是一項公平的競爭。

2008 Comments by the final Juror

“Cross-boundary” Design Era

Interior design needs to consider many aspects of the profession: function, scale, circulation, materiality and spatial ambience. This is not an easy task. It was difficult for the jurors to award projects based on the entries’ few drawings or photos. But it was fortunate that CSID already categorized the works into six groups, thereby the jurors could make impartial judgments. Although the jurors could only judge base on the designers’ brief descriptions, plans, sections and renderings, it was fortunate that the jurors came from different fields, were all well-read and experienced in the design language, and could therefore make conclusions from what were given. In the jury process, most jurors shared similar views. I believe this year’s entries were better than last year’s as many designers had great international vision and carefully selected the materials; many projects already absorbed “green ideas” into their design. Furthermore, many works added culture as an element, making it more readable. Yet there is still room for improvement. For example, sensitivity to aesthetics was not mastered. Cross-boundary design interfaces were not handled well. And most importantly, when a space is designed, “people” as the main entity of the space is not forgotten; the space is just a space when people ceased to exist.

I was delighted to see CSID worked hard in planning the competition and also invited international jurors to join the panel through the internet, all of which showed that this is a fair competition.
