广义设计学与“低碳”设计

从《京都议定书》的签订到其正式生效,人类历史上第一次以法规的形式限制温室气体排放。如今"低碳"已经成为一种时尚,延展到了各个层面。笔者认为,"低碳"设计其实就是以设计为起点,通过设计原理、理念、方法、手段、技术等一系列的整合,创造出低能耗、低污染、低排放的物质或精神产品。且这一创造过程,并不禁锢在某个狭隘的专业领域,而是上升为广义设计的高度,通过把哲学方法论、自然科学方法、技术科学方法、思维科学、行为科学、及其他先进科学吸收进来,以解决"低碳"设计中的各种难题。所以,透彻理解广义设计学的内涵、分析"低碳"设计中"整合"方式,才能探索出"低碳"设计之路。

Study of the General Design and the Low Carbon Design

From the signing of Kyoto Protocol to its formal effectiveness, it is the first time in human history that the emission of the greenhouse gas is restricted by law. Nowadays, ＂low carbon＂ has become a trend. The author holds the view that ＂low carbon＂ design is to create the material or spiritual products of low energy consumption, low pollution and low e- mission, with the help of integrated design principles, concepts, methods and techniques. Furthermore, the process of the creation is not limited in a narrow field, but up to a higher level of general design. It can solve various kinds of difficulties in the process of low carbon design by absorbing the methodology of philosophy, natural science methods, technical scientif- ic method, thinking science, behavioral science, and other advanced science. To sum up, the author thinks that only by understanding the connotation of the general design and analyzing the method of ＂integration＂ in the process of the ＂ low carbon ＂ design, can we explore the road to the real＂ low carbon＂ design.
