開催概要

高騰するエネルギーコストはデザインの新しい課題を提示している。若手デザイナーの社会進出を支援するデザインコンペが、現代の著しいエネルギー依存から解放されるためのアイディアを広く募集。プロダクト、インテリア、建築、ランドスケープなど切り口は自由。

Description
For 2009 the driving question is: How do we fix our energy addiction? It’s a big question with a lot of different kinds of answers. The problems with energy waste are entrenched in many of our systems and products in ways that people are often unaware. An urban plan that promotes walk-able neighborhoods and mass transit is one way to start looking at fuel economy. Fuel is also used to manufacture and transport materials. Think about how we live and work, what we use, how we get where we need to go, hidden costs to our pocket books and the environment, across the whole design spectrum. Focus on one area that needs fixing—products, interiors, buildings and landscape, communication systems, or anything else you can imagine—and develop your idea fully. And above all, think of our energy addiction as a design problem at all scales.
