[設計]The Act of Eating(97/4/30)
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. Each competition is based on a theme that reflects issues related to the current generation or society, soliciting fresh ideas and new value concepts from around the world.
The 6th NAGOYA DESIGN DO! will be held in Nagoya in 2008. In this international design competition, the most outstanding works will be selected and formally recognized, and the winning artists will be invited to participate in a unique workshop held here. The experience of peoples from different corners of the world, bringing with them a wide range of ideals and insights, meeting and working together so intensively, will no doubt be a highly valuable one. In addition, all competition winners will be registered in "Nagoya Brain," our human resource database, providing them with possible opportunities to participate in future projects held in Nagoya.
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.
The Act of Eating
Gist of the Theme
A full-course meal on a date, an "at-home" dinner with the entire family, or, perhaps a fast food hamburger, all alone?
When and where are you eating?
A feast at a festival or big celebration? Lunch at school or your place of work?
Or, perhaps you are staring down at a new and interesting delicacy while on holiday.
Maybe you're eating in a hospital room, or consuming emergency rations at an evacuation center after an earthquake or flood. Maybe you're taking a meal in a refugee camp or in the desert, or even in space. Try to imagine your next meal... anywhere in the universe.
What kind of utensils are you using to eat this meal?
Your favorite fork or chopsticks? Disposable dishes?
Special utensils made specifically for the disabled, elderly, or ill?
Take a moment and give some thought to the dishes and utensils you use on a daily basis.
And, exactly where do all the provisions come from, and where do they go once you are done with them? Are those foods actually safe to eat? Aren't you worried about the technology that can genetically modify natural ingredients?
Have you ever given serious consideration to the waste created by your leftovers or the packaging your groceries come in? What happens to all the garbage that remains after each meal?
Think about the ways you can preserve and protect what we have now-and what we will be leaving the children of the future.
Although the act of eating is the most basic activity for all living things, it is also our one of greatest pleasures.
What is the highest form of "eating" for you? Perhaps it is the quest for the most wonderful delicacies in the world, or, maybe it is to be thankful for the fruits of nature we receive everyday and to not be wasteful.
Yet, there are those who suffer because they cannot eat even though they crave food: People who suffer from starvation due to poverty, people who cannot enjoy food because of old age or illness, people who are restricted by food allergies, or those on a diet who must deny themselves certain foods on a daily basis.
Eating is directly connected to our memories and what we eat and how we eat is part of our traditions and culture.
Try to remember those nostalgic flavors from your childhood or your mother's homemade dishes.
Do you even know the origins of specialty foods from your region?
The world is so rich in ceremonies and rituals concerning food and meals, as well as in the manners we use for accepting and enjoying the food we eat. The act of eating is tied to everything from religion and culture to history, politics, and education...even to the environment in general.
On top of this, we each add our own eating habits as well.
Eating is Living.
Show us your ideas concerning eating through designs with new perspectives.
The scope of application isn't limited to existing design areas, and innovative design based on the competition theme is encouraged.
