The Five People You Meet in Heaven


"All ending are beginnings. We just don't know it at the time... "




昨日買了~


Eddie is a maintenance man who keeps the rides safe at the Ruby Pier amusement park. His 83rd birthday seems like any other day --- he inspects the rides, watches the people, makes pipe cleaner animals for the children. However on this day he dies unexpectedly, trying to rescue a young girl in harm's way.

What he knows is that we all seek answers. We look for meaning behind the experiences in our lives. More often than not, we never get the answers but we continue --- we plod on, happy or unhappy, fulfilled or unfulfilled, pain-free or in pain. We live. Albom doesn't pretend to offer us the answers, but he does offer us an almost Taoist interpretation of life. It is. It just is. The answers may never be revealed. And do they need to be?

even those nameless people you pass on the street who may have played a larger role in your life than you ever could have imagined.

又係玩CONCEPT, 真野就個CASE太厚, 帶上手會好古怪。

Man's search for meaning


Victor Frankl was a Jewish Austrian psychiatrist who was interned in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. He lost his wife and family. Yet he emerged in triumph.

Frankl observed that many of the prisoners died when undergoing less hardship and suffering than those who survived. The survivors tended to be people who envisioned a future for themselves despite their present suffering, people who believed they had a meaning in life and did not surrender to despair.

He developed a psychological treatment method called logotherapy. According to Frankl, logotherapy is striving to find a meaning in one's life as the primary force. Frankl would help patients improve their mental health by helping them to discover meaning in their lives.

"The salvation of man is through love and in love."

"What matters is not the meaning of life in general but the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment. Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life to carry out a concrete assignment which demands fulfillment."

Design of Design 設計中的設計







原研哉乃日藉國際級平面設計大師
呢本書蟬聯過誠品書店的冠軍

http://www.ndc.co.jp/hara/home/index.html


原研哉 Kenya Hara

- 生於1958年
- 平面設計師、日本設計中心代表、武藏野美術大學教授
- 原研哉自2001年起擔任無印良品的諮詢委員會委員
- 參與的設計計畫有2005年萬國博覽會宣傳設計


一個有關原研哉到訪台灣的訪問:
從80年代開始,原研哉以追求務之本質、崇尚簡約設計風格,在日本與國際間創下極高的知名度。日本產業設計振興會即讚譽他是左右21世紀設計風潮,揭開世紀序幕的重要設計師。台灣平面設計師劉開比喻最為精確:假如,生活中任何細微的事物,都足以讓我們感動,原研哉先生的設計與視野,就是良品。可是這樣一位內外兼備的設計者,年少時並非一心從事設計工作。原研哉畢業於武藏野美術大學基礎設計系。他曾為了沒考上心目中的第一志願,東京藝術大學而感到挫折。進入大學後,「我不大願意將設計作為一種職業,或者說是在社會上安身立命的手段。」原研哉接受媒體採訪時,自曝年輕時對從事設計的想法。 但他在師長的鼓勵下,終究還是走向設計之路。



設計產業在日本萌芽得早,時代的巨輪孕育出如田中一光、橫尾忠則等一代宗師的地位。隨著科技帶來改變,不只發生在經濟層面,對設計業的衝擊為工具普及影響設計內涵。田中一光曾經喟嘆地表示:身邊有很多週末畫家、週末攝影師,但很少聽到週末設計師,一直以來始終認為設計是很專業的,但電腦普及,好像任何人都可以隨意做一點設計,很擔心設計會走向沒有靈魂的方向。 田中的感嘆,恰好說明原研哉正處於「一個偉大設計師已經過去了」的時代,取而代之是一個新設計時代。 80年代他進入日本設計中心,主要擔任海外廣宣設計指導。在此工作期間,原研哉說,身處於百餘人的組織裡,讓自己在設計實務上得到很多鍛鍊的機會,更培養「說明與說服」溝通技巧的能力。



相較設計前輩追憶逝水年華,而對設計產生悲鳴嘆息之聲,原研哉卻以為應該省思設計本質。歸納出:所謂設計時代是一個有志投身設計事業的人,透過設計手段,讓社會大眾對設計行為產生共鳴。舉例來說,他於梅田醫院採用白色棉布設計指示標誌,令人因觸覺而牽動其他感覺,產生出愉悅柔和的舒適感;日本松屋銀座的更新計畫裡,則橫跨空間與平面,實踐了設計帶給社會大眾簇新的感受。之後他策劃奧運、博覽會等大型展覽,以及擔任無印良品的藝術指導,逐步成為國際級設計師。

讀後感:
正到痺!書中收集了很多原研哉先生選出的範例,也有詳細講述他的一些作品的艱辛製作經過。詳盡解釋了「何謂設計」,也道出關注市場與設計之間 o既重要性。最喜歡書中介紹的設計不是玩華麗玩外觀,而是玩concept!!
