BIM入門書【全新改版】讓設計更有效率、也更有價值的工作方法指南**BIM-REVIT不只是畫圖，而是重新定義設計流程的工具**你是否也曾經——圖改了又改，卻說不清設計的價值？只改一個厚度，卻得重畫整套圖？設計、施工、估價各自為政，反覆耗時？當設計流程仍停留在「畫圖」思維，效率與品質往往難以兼顧。本書以BIM-REVIT為核心，帶你從根本理解：設計，不該只是輸出圖面，而是建立一套能持續運作的系統。透過BIM，你可以同時完成平面、立面、剖面與透視圖，讓設計與出圖同步進行；圖面與模型即時連動，大幅減少重工；更進一步整合材料、數量與估價資訊，讓每個設計決策都有依據。本書不從單一軟體操作切入，而是從「設計流程」出發，結合作者近20年的實務經驗，拆解從建模、圖說管理到資源整合的關鍵方法。透過真實案例與系統化架構，幫助你建立可複製、可累積的設計資料庫，讓每一次專案都成為下一次優化的基礎。當設計能與資訊同步累積，你將不只是完成一個案子，而是在打造一套屬於自己的設計系統。**本書重點一次掌握**• 一次建模，同步產出平面／立面／剖面／透視圖• 設計與出圖併行，大幅縮短改圖與交圖時間• 圖面、模型、數量與估價即時連動，減少錯誤與重工• 從設計初期即導入施工與成本思維，提升實務精準度• 建立可持續累積的設計資料庫（天花、櫃體、大樣等）• 專案經驗轉化為可重複利用的系統資源• 整合材料、族群與元件，打造高效率資源庫• 雲端協作與團隊管理流程，提升整體作業效率• 從「定義問題」到「成果輸出」，建立完整BIM思維• 不只是學軟體，而是學會經營設計流程與公司系統

以專業為本，回應空間設計的公共價值台灣室內設計產業歷經數十年的發展，從早期市場形成，到專業制度逐步建立，設計早已不只是風格與形式的呈現，而是一項深度影響生活品質、空間安全與社會運作的專業。CSID 室內設計協會成立「台灣室內設計大獎（Taiwan Interior Design Award）」，正是希望透過具公信力的評選機制，持續建立清楚的專業標準，並向社會傳達室內設計所承擔的公共價值。多年來，TID Award 見證了台灣室內設計在不同階段的轉變。從美學語彙的成熟、施工與技術整合，到近年對永續、使用者經驗與跨領域合作的關注，設計的討論逐步走向更全面、也更務實的層次。這些累積，不僅反映在作品本身，也逐漸形塑出台灣室內設計在亞太地區被理解、被信任的專業位置。二〇二五年，CSID 室內設計協會正式當選 APSDA（Asia-Pacific Space Designers Association）領導主席國，承擔起涵蓋亞太 16 個國家與地區的國際協調與專業推動責任。這不僅代表台灣設計專業獲得亞太各國設計組織的高度信任，也顯示台灣在空間設計的專業能力與制度成熟度上，已具備前瞻位置。作為目前台灣唯一能夠穩定承接國際設計事務，並與各國專業組織進行對等交流的設計師團體，這是一項責無旁貸的工作，也是CSID 長期投入專業建設的自然成果。進入二〇二五年，設計產業正面臨快速且結構性的變化。數位科技與人工智慧的發展，為設計流程帶來效率與可能性，也重新定義產業運作的方式。在這樣的環境中，我們更加清楚地意識到，專業判斷、倫理責任與對空間長期影響的理解，是任何工具都無法取代的核心。設計的價值，不在於速度或產量，而在於對人與環境所做出的判斷與選擇。室內設計是一門高度貼近日常生活的專業，其影響往往是長期且不可逆的。無論是居住、工作或公共空間，設計都必須在美感、機能、法規與使用安全之間取得平衡。這正是我們持續強調「專業」的原因—專業不僅是能力的展現，更是一種對人、對環境、對社會的承諾。二〇二五年的 TID Award，將持續以專業、公正與實務導向為核心精神，肯定在真實條件下，兼顧美感、機能與責任的設計作品。我們期待這些作品不僅能被欣賞，更能被信任，並成為產業持續前進的重要基礎。CSID 室內設計協會將持續扮演連結專業、產業與國際交流的平台角色，與設計師、評審、合作夥伴及來自各地的朋友，共同推動一個

榮獲義大利設計最高榮譽「金圓規獎」★美國《商業週刊》年度十大好書★《華爾街日報》、《舊金山書評》重磅好評激進式創新✕進化策略管理✕品牌價值與文化優勢＝競爭力一本完整詮釋設計力創新理論與實務的專書一場影響全球企業與設計界的創新思潮革命羅伯托・維甘提提出的「第三條創新之路」⸺⸺設計力創新（Design-Driven Innovation） ◉當技術突破成為日常， 真正讓你脫穎而出的是――為技術賦予「意義」的能力！ 傳統創新有兩條主線：技術推動的顛覆，以及市場牽引的漸進。然而維甘提教授指出，最能改變一場賽局的往往是第三種力量：意義的激進創新―― 不是迎合需求，而是創造需求；不是推出新技術，而是提出新願景。 為何 Alessi、Kartell、Bang & Olufsen 等多為中小規模、甚至未設置設計部門的企業，卻能長年引領潮流？答案是：創造意義。一旦組織培養出「意義的激進創新」能力，便能形成難以複製的文化優勢與長期獲利。 從 任天堂 Wii 改寫「遊戲」的定義、Apple iPod 重塑「聆聽」的體驗，以至於Artemide 以照明重構「感受」本身。這些劃時代的產品，皆源自一群深諳文化、科技與生活脈絡的「詮釋者」――他們洞見人類尚未說出口的渴望。 本書以消費電子、材料、醫療、食品、鐘錶等跨產業案例深入說明，當技術人人可得、日新月異，產生差異化的關鍵就在於：找到最有價值的應用與意義。設計者不僅僅是造型與使用者研究的執行者，更該是意義的研究者。企業領導者應以願景為核心，連結設計、技術與市場，主動向社會提出生活提案。 「每一位關注創新的經理人都應該讀這本書。 書中的觀點，將成為二十一世紀經營者脫穎而出的關鍵優勢。」 ――哈佛商學院教授 馬可・伊安西提 ❖國際媒體讚譽❖「一本商業人士必備的設計入門書。米蘭理工大學教授維甘提挑戰『顧客永遠是對的』的傳統思維，主張以顛覆市場預期心理、創造意義的設計，開啟全新的競爭方式，並提出具體方法，幫助經營管理者自我啟動『激進創新計畫』。」――《商業周刊》（BusinessWeek）「企業該如何創造新的意義，並以設計賦予產品靈魂？作者建議：應與那些深諳文化脈絡、能詮釋市場趨勢的『詮釋者』建立連結。若藝術反映人生，那麼企業創新也該學習藝術創作。」――《華爾街日報》（The Wall Street Journal）

A richly illustrated overview of the work of Neri Oxman whose design redefines computer science, digital fabrication, material science, and synthetic biology. Mediated Matter is the first comprehensive overview of Neri Oxman's groundbreaking design work. Oxman has forged a singular career across design, science, and technology over the past twenty years that includes, notably, founding the field of material ecology. Trained as both a medical doctor and an architect, she brings to design a spirit of inquiry and experimentation that includes a future-forward approach to materials--from silkworm thread to automated microrobots to a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made from biopolymers. In her work at the MIT Media Lab, she designed products and buildings as interactive entities that are environmentally informed, biologically augmented, computationally grown, and digitally manufactured. Through richly detailed diagrams, explanatory texts, process documents, and brea

A comprehensive survey of the evolution of market design over the past three decades. In the mid-1990s, the first Federal Communications Commission spectrum auction and the redesign of the National Residency Matching Program collectively helped to jumpstart the field of market design. Since then, extensive research has improved auction design and broken new conceptual ground in addressing multi-agent matching problems. This volume summarizes key discoveries and advances in market design over the past three decades and explores contemporary challenges--from climate policy and electricity markets to AI-mediated exchanges and hospital resource allocation. Contributors examine how to design efficient, incentive-compatible mechanisms that are robust to shifting conditions and increasing complexity. They consider a wide variety of applications that could benefit from the market design viewpoint, such as environmental markets, school choice, and organ exchange. Together, the chapters illustr
