絕望等死嗎? Do Something!
- 不要沒事開車亂逛>減少製造空氣污染
- 視訊會議取代國際旅行>飛機起落就燒掉幾萬加侖石油
- 多使用大眾運輸系統>增加能源使用效率
- 沒事多爬樓梯少坐電梯>多運動不用上減肥中心
- 單車取代汽機車>汽機車是最沒能源效率的交通工具
- 關掉冷氣吹電風扇心靜自然涼>冷氣是最大耗能的電器
- 外出記得攜帶碗筷>保麗龍餐具污染環境也浪費能源
- 禮品減量包裝不要注重外表>包裝是最沒效益的垃圾
New York Design Week, one of the US’s biggest design events, kicks off tomorrow, opening with the International Contemporary Furniture Fair at the Jacob K Javits Convention Centre.
More than 600 exhibitors from across the US, South America, Asia and Europe will showcase their latest collections of seating, lighting, textiles, flooring, materials and home accessories at the ICFF, organised by consumer product trade show producers George Little Management.
GLM is hoping to attract an international audience of more than 23 000 interior designers, architects, retailers, designers, manufacturers and distributors.
A series of book-related events have been planned for the next two days, as part of the ICFF Bookstore programme, including daily book signings for names like Tord Boontje and Jean-Marie Massaud. As part of the ICFF Editors Awards, prizes will be given for 16 categories, including the best new designer and best body of work.
Over the coming week, the city will play host to a series of events, new product launches, public debates, design competitions, symposiums and parties.

:::一個好的設計師源自於一個健全的生理、心理與家庭:::
99%的設計工作者同意深夜確實有助於靈感取得與執行也習慣熬夜,然而身體能平衡地運作七八十年才是生命長遠的目標。
另外所謂設計的技巧不完全那麼的重要;重要的是,設計師必須具備更高的道德使命感。
而擁有良善心地的態度,才有機會成就真正對社會有助益以及誠實實在的作品。
:::必須時常觀察練習在上位者會遇到的問題與解決方法:::
當設計師要去想資深設計的事;當資深設計的要去想藝術總監的領域...
不是說要去謀大位,而是要有這樣的心態才會不知不覺地進步。
:::去嘗試自己不習慣的事物:::
字數最少,卻最精闢也最難以履行。做自己強項的發揮,誰都有自信且有能力,
想辦法讓自己多接觸自己不擅長的領域則是讓生活與工作除了原有的深度,
再加了廣度與可能性。
:::自信,但別忘了謙虛 :::
有時候自己的第一個感覺往往是對的,要有膽識與自信支持自己試試看;
謙虛則是讓你能繼續接受新的刺激,與學習更棒經驗的金鑰。
