2004年第四届日本名古屋国际设计大赛
"NAGOYA DESIGN DO! 2004"

大赛前言:
Located in the center of Japan and boasting a population of 2.19 million people, Nagoya reveres its heritage of long-standing traditions.

The metropolis is known as a world-class industrial center with industries ranging from textiles and ceramics to furniture, transportation equipment, and computers.

The World Design Exposition was held here in 1989, proclaiming Nagoya to be a "Design City".
Since then, a series of design-related events, making the city even more design-oriented, have been held.

"NAGOYA DESIGN DO!" is a program designed to provide an opportunity for young, talented designers to develop their skills and exchange ideas with one another. It targets young people from around the globe and is held in the form of a competition every two years. This competition has been held three times now, and in this short time it has become recognized as a globally unique design competition, with both the numbers of applicants and nations from which they come continuing to grow each time.

In the 4th "NAGOYA DESIGN DO!", winning works will be awarded prizes and the artists will be invited to a workshop, similar to the first competition. By interacting with each other in a work-like setting, young designers can share their talent and enjoy wide-ranging points of view. Participating in this competition can be the "gateway to success" for many young designers, and is an opportunity for them to show off their talent. We are looking forward to receiving new and inspirational works for this competition.

1.本次大赛主题
Invisible "Scents"
Design a "Scent". Sense Design.

When traveling alone by train, you may find a station where you feel like getting off to breathe the air. At a bookstore you drop into by chance, you may find a book that arouses your interest and end up buying it. When introduced to someone by a friend, you may be impressed that he looks so good in his jacket, even though you know little about him.
When reading, you may find you could have grasped the rough meaning of words alien to you. These are things that although we do not know, we sense nonetheless. Let us call these subtle signs and indications "scents", for they are as delicate, difficult to grasp, and sometimes fleeting.

When a phone rings, you feel the "human existence" stirring there. In the morning when you turn on the TV, you may glean from the look on the anchorman’s face that something serious has happened. As the Mozart Symphony Orchestra tunes up before its performance, you may sense the "Magic Flute" already haunting the strains of the instruments. From the CNN broadcast showing packs of tanks covering Iraq’s roads, we can sense "destruction". We may gather "absolute nothingness" from the sight of a Zen temple at Kamakura and catch a glimpse of"salvation" from the abbey in K ln.

So what exactly is a "scent"? There are some that we may sense but others do not. We need to think this over carefully.

In our societies and daily lives today, what do we sense as "scent"? Is it the threat of war, environmental pollution, family bonds, the disintegration of a nation, the volumes of information passing through the Internet, or what your boyfriend or girlfriend is doing? What kind of "scent" will electronic instruments transmit to us? What about the communication contained in the buzzing of insects? What does this bring to our days?

There may things or occurrences whose scents you can hardly pick up; The cosmos? Poison? Sorrow? Nostalgia? What scents do they have? Let us attend to the invisible scents we can barely discern. Let us repaint such scents as have become too familiar and ordinary to us.

Design is synonymous with neither the function of a thing or product nor with its purpose. On the contrary, design is the scent that includes both. Design has already dispatched to people a particular scent. However, there are many designs that have ceased releasing their scents. And some that have gone astray, emitting a scent foreign to their true presence. Challenge yourself to create design that simmers with fresh scents, appealing to us, warning us, striking a chord among us.
