Nordic Design Twin Cities: Copenhagen and Stockholm
北欧设计双城记:哥本哈根与斯德哥尔摩


Sustaining Humanity, Sustaining Design
用设计探索以人为本的可持续发展道路

Abstract

Despite the harsh geographical conditions, Nordic countries have become synonymous with livability and happiness due to their good welfare systems, recyclable design products, and diverse cultural landscapes. The international reputation of Nordic design is closely related to the effort of Nordic designers on sustainable development. Besides being designers, they play multiple roles such as educators, scholars, and consensus builders. In line with the two major design concepts of environmental protection and human-centeredness in Nordic countries, Nordic design has reflected the basic principle of sustainability - intergenerational equity - in various aspects of life for several generations. Among them, Copenhagen in Denmark and Stockholm in Sweden, which are adjacent to each other, have played a crucial role in the development and growth of Nordic design. Meanwhile, as aggregative platforms for creativity, urban design weeks are important catalysts for their development. This paper aims to analyze how these two creative cities which are famous for their sustainable design, cultivate sustainable design concepts through their design weeks - Copenhagen Design Week and Stockholm Design Week - and provide useful references for future sustainable design practices in China.

摘要

北欧国家在地理位置上常年经受着酷寒,却依旧能以其良好的福利保障、可循环回收的设计产品和多元丰富的文化图景,而成为宜居与幸福的代名词。北欧设计能在国际上享有如此美誉,离不开北欧地区设计师们在可持续发展上的关注与努力,这些设计力量在拥有设计师这一身份的同时,更胜任着可持续发展的教育家、学者、共识的建立者等多重角色。随着设计产业的发展,在北欧注重环境保护和以人为本的两大设计理念中,“北欧设计”将“可持续性”的最基本原则——代际公平,反映在了北欧几代人生活的方方面面。其中,丹麦的哥本哈根,及与其毗邻的瑞典斯德哥尔摩,在“北欧设计”发展壮大的历程中,发挥着至关重要的作用,而城市设计周作为创意设计的聚合性平台,更是其发展的重要催化器。本文以丹麦哥本哈根设计周和瑞典斯德哥尔摩设计周的视角出发,浅析北欧两座以可持续设计著名的创意城市,如何通过两大设计周深耕可持续设计理念,并为中国的可持续设计实践提供有益参考。
