英國 Design Council 最近發表名為「The Good Design Plan」的三年發展策略規劃,整體目標在於啟發與善用設計,讓英國變成一個更具競爭力、創造力與永續的國家。
這份簡單的策略規劃可以供產業、教育與民間部門參考外,更可以讓我們了解設計在國家發展中的角色,除了就業開創與經價值之外,還有公共服務、地方發展、社會議題等。
「The Good Design Plan」開宗明義地訂下了 Good Design 的定義:
Good design is sustainable design.
It is a process…(解決問題的過程)
…joining creativity and innovation…
…and delivering value. (指傳達經濟、永續與社會價值)
And it’s the work of good designers (and good clients)
Design Council 找了 8 位頂尖設計師,來談什麼是好設計,提供基本卻不淪為高調的觀點 (請前往原文觀看影音內容)。
因此,「The Good Design Plan」 訂下的五個策略目標為 :
Objective 1: Build the UK’s capacity to innovate and deliver world-class brands, products and services by supporting the effective use of design in business and the public sector.
Objective 2: Drive the development of new solutions to UK social and economic challenges and involve communities in designing local services.
Objective 3: Boost high-level skills in design to support a competitive creative economy and a thriving UK design sector.
Objective 4: Champion the value of good design and its importance to social and economic success.
Objective 5: Be recognised as an exemplar design institution for our influence, impact and enterprise.
Design Council對於好設計的定義與其策略視野,值得創意工作者關注。
