来自专筑编辑倪明辉，范偲慧的报道。Fast Company  Design通过对2015年最具创意的设计师们的采访，列出了关于塑造未来设计的25个最具吸引力的观点。我们从中提取了五个跟建筑最相关的观点。

物联网将导致空间互联

物联网通常指像Nest和Fitbit这样的技术，但并不是说只要将物体通过电路板连接到网络就让它们 “更智能化”。我们设计产品和空间的方式也将受到巨大的影响。老龄化婴儿潮一代寻求融合，千禧一代拥抱技术，他们将引导设计者专注于设计和建筑的交点，并且通过相互交流来创造更好的未来。— James R. Wisniewski, Senior Associate – Architecture, Michael Graves Architecture & Design


设计将服务于长者

传统的房屋一直以年轻健全的成人为主要受用者，而严重忽略了一些弱势群体，像残疾人、长期病患和老年人。随着婴儿潮一代逐渐成熟并且开始照料他们的父母，他们和他们的子女认识到住宅设计需要满足人生所有阶段的需求。未来五年，设计师将通过设计来为长者提供方便。— Patrick Burke, Principal – Architecture, Michael Graves Architecture & Design  


办公室将成为我们的教堂和录音室

工作已经变得像唱歌一样，可以在任何地方进行。这就是为什么办公室需要变得更像教堂和录音室。在教堂这样的场合唱歌，由于环境、混响等因素的影响，甚至能改变一个人声音的特点，激发更精彩的表演。录音室是专门设计来帮助歌者创造最高品质的歌唱体验，然后采集并复制它。即使我们能够在任何地方工作，但办公室还是最好的选择，因为它能给予员工独特、高效的工作体验。— Ben Watson, Executive Creative Director, Herman Miller


设计中更多的移情

人们如何更深层次地体验空间和产品变得越来越重要。随着人口老龄化，老年人可能需要一些物品来帮助他们，但不一定想要，例如报警腕带，或者一些保护他们安全的东西。没有人想被提醒他们正在衰老，产品和建筑的设计必须同时考虑到客户的情绪并且满足他们的需求。— Donald Strum, Principal – Product Design, Michael Graves Architecture & Design


4-D及更先进的设计工具  

将来会有更多新型的设计工具帮助设计者为消费者提供超越单纯美感的技术工艺的有效体验。我们今天使用的大多数工具基于传统的二维静态媒体，它们都是在80、90年代“桌面出版”革命期间成长的。我们将看到更多交叉代码和设计的混合型工具，像Koen Bok的Framer.js、Ben Fry and Casey Reas的 Processing，以及Evelyn Eastmond的设计体块DesignBlocks。— John Maeda, Design Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers

Taking input from 2015′s most innovative designers, Fast Company Design has complied a fascinating list of 25 ideas that will shape the future of design. From this list, we have extracted the five most relevant points for architects to consider. Read through them after the break, and let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

THE INTERNET OF THINGS WILL LEAD TO THE INTERNET OF SPACES
The Internet of Things usually refers to technologies like Nest and Fitbit, but one does not make something “smarter” simply by placing a circuit board in it and connecting it to a network. There will also be vast ramifications for the way we design products and spaces. The converging requirements of aging baby boomers and technology-embracing millennials will lead designers to focus on where product design and architecture intersect and inform one another to create better outcomes. — James R. Wisniewski, Senior Associate – Architecture, Michael Graves Architecture & Design

DESIGN WILL DESTIGMATIZE AGING
Traditionally, houses have been designed for young, able-bodied adults, but not so well for people who are disabled, chronically ill, or simply aging. As baby boomers age and care for their parents, they and their children are recognizing the need for homes that are designed to support all stages of an individual’s life. In the next five years, designers will use design as a tool to destigmatize aging. — Patrick Burke, Principal – Architecture, Michael Graves Architecture & Design

OFFICES WILL BECOME OUR CATHEDRALS AND RECORDING STUDIOS
Work has become like singing, you can do it anywhere now. That’s why offices will need to become more like cathedrals and recording studios. Cathedrals because singing in that setting (atmosphere, reverb, etc.) alters the character of even a single human voice and inspires a greater performance. Recording studios because they are specifically designed to help create and capture the highest-quality experience of singing—capture that and reproduce it. When we can work anywhere, people should want to come to an office because it gives them a heightened experience of work that can be had nowhere else. — Ben Watson, Executive Creative Director, Herman Miller

GREATER EMPATHY IN DESIGN
A deeper empathetic understanding of how people experience a space or product will become more important. With an aging population, people may need an item to help them, but not necessarily want it… for example, an alert bracelet, or something that protects their safety. No one wants to be reminded they are aging, and the design of both products and buildings must respect the emotions of this audience, as well as meet their needs. — Donald Strum, Principal – Product Design, Michael Graves Architecture & Design

4-D DESIGN TOOLS AND BEYOND
There will be new kinds of design tools to help designers in tech craft effective experiences for consumers that go beyond “beautiful” pixels. Most of the tools we use today are rooted in conventional two-dimensional, static media, as they all grew up during the “desktop publishing” revolution of the ’80s and ’90s. We will see more “hybrid” tools that cross code with design, like Koen Bok’s Framer.js, Ben Fry and Casey Reas’s Processing, and Evelyn Eastmond’s DesignBlocks. — John Maeda, Design Partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
