透過26個精采案例，認識全球最大設計公司的「設計經營」心法和社會使命GK Design CEO田中一雄現身說法「何謂二十一世紀的設計」運用「設計思考」，你也能成為開創嶄新明日的設計師●什麼是二十一世紀的設計？與既定認知的「形」與「色」的設計有何不同？●什麼是「設計思考」？什麼是「設計經營」？這些概念能為我們帶來什麼幫助？●設計不斷地擴大範圍，二十一世紀的設計需要具備哪些能力？●設計是愛的表現；物中有心，GK Design秉持的創社理念。●時代的洪流中再次走向社會的設計，為解決地球問題而生，邁向未來的設計。「鄭重向專業經理人推薦《設計的本質》，有助於認識設計的方法、思考與案例，如何借重發揮商業與社會影響力。推薦設計師閱讀，在練就T型人的設計核心設計能力外，還可以如何延伸專業的觸角。」──吳漢中（社計事務所創辦人）「一路累積至今對造形之美的堅持講究、解決當代社會問題的創新思考，以及為人們帶來喜悅和安寧的心理因素。設計是這一切的總和。我認為這才是『設計的本質』。」──田中一雄設計在當代的變革｜正確認識今日的設計設計發展至今，已經無法以「形」與「色」來概括，二十一世紀的設計，已經從「物件設計」（d）轉換到「事件設計」（D）。隨著設計的對象、過程、主題與關係的擴大，產生了新的概念，衍生出新的詞彙，如「服務設計」、「設計工學」、「設計思考」、「設計經營」等嶄新的概念逐漸被導入企業的文化之中。當代科技的飛速發展，更是為設計提供了更多的可能，過往只停留在草圖的超前概念，如今已經一一實踐。二十一世紀的設計，可說是無所不在，設計不再是為物件打造流麗的外形與色彩；設計可以是服務，可以是體驗，可以是流程，可以是解決社會問題。田中一雄歸納出當代設計必備的五種能力，提供給想要瞭解今日設計的讀者參考、學習。這五種能力，分別為：■觀察能力■發現問題的能力■發想能力■視覺化能力■造形能力前四種能力屬於設計思考領域，第五種則是當今最容易被忽視的造形設計領域，儘管設計的範圍不停地擴大，卻不應斷絕過往累積的價值，「d」與「D」非但兼存並立，更要做通盤的思考，才能開創既迎向時代，又符合心靈需求的設計價值。在設計的時代，設計的能力並不專屬於設計師，一般大眾也應具備有設計能力，特別是屬於「設計思考」領域的四種能力，學習如何運用設計能力解決問題，當代工業社會中的良心──GK Design一提到GK，熟悉日本（文化

★ 被遺忘的影像寶庫，揭開法國科學與工業創新的視覺歷史★ 從戰爭研究到日常生活，見證影像如何改變人類世界★ 科學×設計×影像，一部跨越時代的視覺文化之書1916年至1939年間，法國在國家政策推動下，大量生產科學與工業研究相關的影像與影片。這些長期被忽視的資料，不只是紀錄，更是見證創新歷程的珍貴視窗。本書帶領讀者回到那個動盪又充滿實驗精神的年代，從戰爭與國防需求出發，逐步轉向民生與日常生活，描繪出一段影像與科技交織的歷史。那些看似冷靜理性的紀錄影像，卻同時蘊含驚人的美學張力，也揭示了研究制度如何逐步被建立與規範。當攝影與影像被用於展示、教育與傳播，甚至成為知識的載體，人類對世界的理解也隨之改變。本書不僅回顧一段歷史，更讓我們重新思考：影像如何塑造我們所認知的「真實」。Between 1916 and 1939 thousands of films and photographs were produced in France, in line with the national policy encouraging scientific and industrial research. These largely unknown images stand as visual witnesses to twenty years of invention and research. Their analog archives trace through the history of innovation, anchored at first in war and national defence, before shifting towards civilian and domestic life.This history, interlaced with design, lies at the crossroads of science, technology and industry. The images also tell a story that is still unfolding today, that of the institutionalisation of research. From the very beginning a systematic

Plant remains can preserve a critical part of history of life on Earth. While telling the fascinating evolutionary story of plants and vegetation across the last 500 million years, this book also crucially offers non-specialists a practical guide to studying, dealing with and interpreting plant fossils. It shows how various techniques can be used to reveal the secrets of plant fossils and how to identify common types, such as compressions and impressions. Incorporating the concepts of evolutionary floras, this second edition includes revised data on all main plant groups, the latest approaches to naming plant fossils using fossil-taxa and techniques such as tomography. With extensive illustrations of plant fossils and living plants, the book encourages readers to think of fossils as once-living organisms. It is written for students on introductory or intermediate courses in palaeobotany, palaeontology, plant evolutionary biology and plant science, and for amateurs interested in studyin

「建築計畫者」是鮮少耳聞的職業，工作內容是為建築設計的前提條件進行設計整理的前置作業：和業主詳細地協調溝通，製作設施的面積表與機能圖解（diagram），有時會從設計者的選定開始、到空間設計及營運條件的設定一路負責到底。若拿與建築設計有許多共同點的電影製作作為類比，就容易理解這個工作性質吧，也就是建築師＝電影導演；建築計畫者＝編劇。電影導演需要統合攝影、音響、照明、服裝等各方面專家，這和建築師管理
