決審觀點：以「人」為核心的設計理念

室內設計在台灣涉及到不同領域，一般住宅的室內裝潢，商業的展示空間，暫時存在的建築工地上的樣品屋……等等，不管是哪一個領域的「室內設計」，都與「人」發生很密切的關係，有時候甚至會感覺到比建築本身更具備與使用者的親密關係。

因此，如果去探究台灣室內設計領域的「人」的因素，可能是非常有趣的議題。例如：住宅的使用者，他們在自己的空間形成中究竟扮演什麼角色？或者，一個商業空間，設計者思考的是自己的表現，或是未來在這個空間裏活動的人群？

我也想到，台灣特別蓬勃的樣品物，做為一種短暫即逝的設計，是否也意味著台灣曇花一現式的美學追求？

也許，把台灣的室內設計擴大到以「人」為主的美學領域來觀察，會是設計大獎特別有長遠意義的努力方向吧！

以台灣為主體思考的設計活動又開始與香港，中國大陸，或其他華人地區有了觀摩與互動，共同思考出一個新的設計空間，以「人」為核心，不悖離「人」的生活價值，必然會有更上層樓的成果。

Comments：“People” as the central idea in Design

Interior Design in Taiwan implicates various design businesses such as interior decoration, showroom space design and temporary real-estate sample houses, along with other related sectors. No matter what sector of interior design is mentioned, “people” are closely linked to it, and sometimes feel more intimate to it than to architecture itself.

Therefore, the idea of “people” in interior design is probably a very interesting topic of discussion. For instance, what is the role of the owner of a residence in a design project? In a commercial space, does the design reflect the designer’s personal interest or the interests of the people who live in the space?

I think that the flourishing phenomenon of sample houses in Taiwan perhaps reflects an instant quest for transient beauty.

Perhaps, the effort of the TID Awards is the first step towards expanding a designer’s vision, a vision that truly believes in designing for “people,” not purely for fashion. This is the goal of the Awards that has long-reaching effects.

Design projects of Taiwan now have interaction with those of Hong Kong, Mainland China, and other Chinese regions. Together a new improved spatial design concept can be created, a design that has “people” and people’s living standard as the core.
