现代设计——科学与艺术的融合

Modern Design: A Combination of Science and Art

现代设计的过程本身是有社会性的。设计与特定社会的物质生产与科学技术的联系 ,使得设计具有自然科学的客观性特征 ;设计与特定社会的政治、文化、经济、艺术之间存在显而易见的关系 ,又使得设计有着特殊的意识形态色彩。这两个方面的特点构成了设计作为一门专门学科的独特性质 ,因此设计应该被视作一种物质文化行为 ,而设计学则是既有自然科学特征又有人文学科色彩的综合性的专门学科。作为科技与艺术相结合的“产儿”———工业设计 ,无疑是具有科学特征和艺术特征的 ,现代设计的发展趋势是人性化、个性化、数字化和绿色设计 。

Modern design is a social activity. The close association of design with the material production and science and technology in a specific society brings to the design its objective feature similar to that of natural science. The obvious relationship between design and politics, culture, economy and art in a particular society gives design an ideological flavor. These two features of design make design a unique material cultural activity and the science of design a comprehensive discipline with the characteristics of both natural science and the humanities. Industrial design is a typical case worth mentioning, which, undoubtedly, is the 'product' of both sci-tech and art. Modern design is developing in the humanistic, individualized, digital, green direction, which is based on the combination of science and art.
