工业设计历来的目标就是为改善人民的日常生活而开发产品。但最近几年,我们看见到了一种变化,设计过程和“设计思维”已经转向了运用到新的社会领域:社会的发展。挪威设计和建筑基金会(Norsk Form)正在参用入与名为国家设计竞赛的全国性设计比赛,以此证明其获得公共市场的特殊技能。该目的是要表明,设计从根本上讲是一个创新的职业,设计师如果有给予正确的挑战就能帮助改善社会。 The historical goal of industrial design has been to develop products to improve people’s daily lives. But in recent years we have seen a shift in the design process and design thinking that has shifted to the new social sphere: social development. The Norsk Form is being incorporated into a national design competition called the National Design Competition to demonstrate its special skills in the public market. The purpose is to show that design is fundamentally an innovative profession and that designers can help improve society if given the right challenge.
