04 - 主题／主题解释

“再设计 + 再利用”:
today there is much need for sustainable design.
the mantra of - RE-use, RE-duce, and RE-cycle - seeks to minimize
negative impacts on the domestic, public and natural environment
(including the health and comfort of consumers and producers).
effective sustainable design is a complex theme, it requires an integrated,
holistic approach. participants are requested to submit their designs and
concepts for products that RE-consider waste.
entries might focus only on a certain aspect of RE-cycling or RE-use
or take into consideration the whole life-cycle, including design, construction,
operation and decommissioning. we believe in a ‘learning by doing’ approach -
the integration of environmental considerations into product design and
development can be done step by step.
you only need a few good ideas in a lifetime to contribute.

05 - 设计要求
the jury will award designs and concepts which are innovative in terms
of their formal / technological aspects as well as their social relevance.
please don't send in vague concepts, but go a step further.
works must express the way of manufacturing – craft or industrial.
it's not the idea which is the art,
it's more the way somebody handles the idea that makes art.
