中国设计教育的弊病已经是老生常谈的话题,但谈来谈去,相关问题似乎仍没有找到解决的途径,这些问题已然成为了中国现代设计发展中的瓶颈。本期的两篇文章,分别从设计的普及教育和设计院校的招生考试两个方面,讨论了中国设计的外部环境建设和业内水平提高。如果公众今后依然缺乏对于“设计”的理解和接受,如果设计人才的培养不从源头考虑,中国的设计就很难有突破性的进展。特邀主持人/梁梅 The shortcomings of China’s design education have been the topic of clichés, but it is still not possible to find any solution to the problems that have to be discussed. These problems have become the bottleneck in the development of China’s modern design. The two articles in this issue discuss the external environment construction and the improvement of the industry level in China from two aspects of popularization education designed and enrollment examinations of design institutes respectively. If the public still lacks comprehension and acceptance of “design” in the future, it will be very hard for China’s design to make any breakthrough if the design talents are not cultivated from the source.
