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

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

Ikat Textiles of Timor offers an in-depth overview of regional textile styles from both West and East Timor, while also contributing significant new insights into their design traditions. In academic literature, the ikated men’s wraps from Timor have long been described as symmetrical. However, Dr Peter ten Hoopen’s examination of early examples from museums and private collections reveals that, historically, two thirds of these textiles were actually asymmetrical. This discovery challenges an academic consensus that has persisted since 1912, and highlights a previously overlooked level of creative ingenuity—inviting greater admiration for the women who wove these complex designs.Today’s ikat weavers on Timor, like many foreign scholars before them, seem unaware that asymmetry was once a dominant design principle. Many continue to assert that perfect symmetry has always been the tradition. Yet the historical textiles tell a different story. Ten Hoopen’s groundbreaking findings justify
