下十年 ，循環設計展
Disaster or Design at Taitung Design Center
"Earth Overshoot Day" marks the date when humanity has exhausted nature's resources and services in a given year. In 1970, the Earth Overshoot Day was December 29th. Since then, the Earth Overshoot Day has inched forward every year, as our consumption increases. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing massive recession in 2020, the Earth Overshoot Day of 2020 moved back to August 22th. Still, that means an overdraft of 4-months of natural resources from the future of Earth—as if we have 1.6 earths. While the truth is, we only have one earth.
In Taitung, the lush mountain terrain, vast blue ocean, and the fertile land make Taitung a symbol of nature. The people's deep intimacy with nature, environmental consciousness and sustainability awareness are connected to the surrounding land. How will we best address the environmental crisis to protect and preserve our land? How can Taitung play a part in the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainability Development?
In times of uncertainty, we present Disaster or Design—A Circular Design Exhibition. Circular Design is a design method aimed at eliminating waste and continuously reusing resources, while generating economic growth. This project seeks to find opportunities within crisis—Combining Design, Business, and Science, showcased under six themes—Food, Fashion/Textiles, Housing/Objects, Electrical/Electronic, Plastic/Packaging, and Cities, 40 Circular Design Cases are presented to illustrate Design's potential and its vital role in achieving a circular economy.
國際組織「全球足跡網絡」發明了一種用來衡量生態資源存量的會計算法，並將一年之中人類把地球可再生資源用完的那天，稱為「地球超載日」。這個日期在1970年是12月29日，在飽受Covid-19疫情影響、迎來人類發展史上罕見大幅度經濟活動衰退的2020年，這個日期仍然來到了8月22號；這表示當年度全球人類向下一代預支了超過4個月的生態資源使用量，揮霍的程度彷彿像是人類擁有1.6個地球──事實上，地球只有一個。
而台東，擁有漫漫蔚藍海岸、綿延秀麗山脈、肥沃土地及豐饒物產，儼然是自然的代名詞，長久以來對環境永續有著原生的、深厚的敬愛和親密。生活在一座同時擁有人文精神和自然風景的城市，面對人類的共同環境挑戰，如何珍惜、維護、延續這些眼前美好？如何將永續關懷真正轉化為實際行動？如何回應地球村的脈動，對聯合國所設定的2030年永續發展目標形塑這座城市在未來所扮演的角色？
在充滿不確定性的2020年，我們推出「下十年──循環設計展」。循環設計，可以理解成一種同時讓經濟持續成長、也讓自然資源留在自然界裡的設計。這個計畫欲從危機中尋找契機：結合設計、商業、科學等3面向，涵蓋6大與生活習習相關的主題：食物、時尚/紡織、居住/物件、電子/電器、塑膠/包裝、城市等，以全球40個案例詮釋「設計」如何同時為人類兼顧生計與生機。
