设计:沟通科学与人文的第三种文化

设计既与现实生产的制造和运行相联系 ,又与美学和社会伦理道德规范相联系 ,因而成为科学文化与人文文化统一的微观现实机制和中介环节。在信息时代 ,设计者为了控制硬件结构的非秩序幽灵 ,创造出了一种“非物质文化” ,即“软件形式”。设计的重心已经不再是一种有形的产品 ,而是一套抽象的“关系” ,即无形的、人与机器的语言对话。为此 ,应该更新工业社会关于技术、产品、市场的开发设计等传统观念 ,克服传统的工业设计在“满足人的无限丰富的需要”这一本质层面上的盲区 ,确立包括工业工程设计和社会工程设计相统一的广义设计观念。最后 ,文章分析了现代艺术与现代设计的关系 ,展示了两者日趋融合的发展趋势

Design:The Third Culture Connecting Science and Arts

Design is related both with the manufacture and operation of the actual production and with aesthetics and social moral standards,thus becoming a media between science and arts.In the information age,to control the disorder of the hardware structure,designers create a kind of"non material culture",i.e."software".Design is no longer a visible product;instead,it becomes an abstract"relation",i.e.,invisible dialogue between human being and machine.Therefore,the traditional concepts should be renewed about the developing and designing of the technique,product and market in the industrial society.Modern design should incorporate both industrial engineering design and social engineering design.Finally,the article analyzes the relationship between modern art and modern design,displaying a trend of the two designs blending into one.
