中国工业设计教育的发展思考——访谈南京艺术学院工业设计学院院长李亦文教授

Reflections on the Development of Industrial Design Education in China:An Interview with Professor Li Yiwen

在经济全球化时代,设计师是最有可能全球化的职业,工业设计已成为推动"中国制造"向"中国智造"转变的关键,是构建智慧城市的重要手段。然而中国工业设计教育备受争议的焦点在于是否可以培养出新时代所需的创新型设计人才。同时在社会转型的背景下,中国工业设计教育能否持续为设计人才提供充分的知识和能力培养也成为了社会关注的重点。在此背景下,南京艺术学院李亦文教授提出了从思维观念、价值观念和思想意识三方面培养创新型设计人才的概念,并结合设计理论、设计教育方法、设计思维培养再到创新设计进行了阐述,为中国未来工业设计教育发展提出了可行性的建议。

In the era of economic globalization, it is most likely for designers to go global and most easy for them to blend in social and economic reforms. They face new challenges in social development and demand new solutions. Industrial design has become the key to promoting the transformation of ＂Made in China＂ to ＂China＇s intellectual creation＂ and is an important means for building smart cities. However, the controversial focus of China＇s industrial design education is whether it can cultivate the innovative design talents needed in the new era. At the same time, in the context of social transformation, whether China＇s industrial design education can continue to provide sufficient knowledge and ability for the design of talents has also become the focus of social concern. In this context, Professor Li Yiwen from Nanjing Arts Institute proposed the concept of cultivating innovative design talents from the perspectives of ideas, values, and ideologies, and elaborated on the combination of design theory, design education methods, design thinking training, and innovation design. It proposes feasible suggestions for the development of China＇s future industrial design education.
