80年代末,“可持续发展”的理论被提出来之后,迅速向世界范围扩展,它已成为表达时代特征的标志性词汇。经济学家、生态学家以及科学技术工作者都已把它作为跨世纪的命题,从不同的侧面进行着相关的研究,试图缓解本世纪工业文明以来带给人类在经济、环境、人口、资源等方面的危机,为人类寻找在新的文明模式中求得生存和发展的出路。 在工业文明的模式下,担负着人类造物的“工业设计”(我们习惯了把工业化条件下的设计造物活动都视为“工业设计”的提法),同样存在着一系列回避不了的问题,它日益远离初衷,向绝对的理性化方向发展,陷入了唯经济论、唯物理论、唯功能主义的泥潭。科学技术进 In the late 1980s, when the theory of “sustainable development” was put forward, it rapidly expanded to the world. It has become a landmark term for expressing the characteristics of the times. Economists, ecologists and scientists and technologists have taken it as a cross-century proposition and carried out relevant research from different aspects in an attempt to ease the economic, environmental, demographic and resource problems that human beings have brought to mankind since the industrial civilization of this century And other crises, for mankind to find a way out of survival and development in the new model of civilization. In the industrial civilization mode, the “industrial design” that is responsible for human creation (we are accustomed to considering the design creation activities under industrialized conditions as the reference to “industrial design”), there are also a series of problems that can not be avoided. It has gradually moved away from its original intention to develop in the direction of absolute rationalization and plunged into the quagmire of economic theory, materialistic theory and functionalism.
