● 審査委員長
★栄久庵 憲司
(インダストリアル・デザイナー)
ひかりは慈愛だと思います。人間は大きな慈愛に包まれているのに、普段はなかなか見えない。このコンペは慈愛を見つけ出して、そばに寄り添っていく格好のチャンスなのです。


● 審査委員
★粟津 潔
(グラフィック・デザイナー)
老子によると、あらゆるものには道がある。剣道や茶道も道だし、人間にも血管などいろんな道がある。そしてひかりにも道がある。道を探るのがデザインの基本、つまりデザインも修行なんです。

★菊竹 清訓
(建築家)
照明学生コンペの企画について相談を受けたとき、私は内心若干の危惧を抱いていた。しかし、10年経ってみて、一応私の当初の不安は解消されつつある。特に海外からの参加が、全体のレベルアップに大いに貢献してくれている。

★葉 祥栄
(建築家・デザイナー)
10年間のコンペを振り返ると、相当幅が広いことに気づきます。さらにエコロジーとう社会性をテーマにしたことで、思想的に一層深化しました。これは、最も意義深いことだと思います。

★パオロ・ロマッツィ
(インダストリアルデザイナー)
一目見ただけでは、その価値が判明しない作品もありました。我々の使命は、無用に思えるものの中から、新たな意味を見出しことにもあると思います。

★アンジェロ・コルテージ
(インダストリアルデザイナー)
すべてが物質的になっている私達の人生のシーンの中で、数少ない魔法の力を感じさせてくれるのが、ライティングです。技術を使って、自然の持つ神々しさや崇高さを感じさせる作品を作ってほしい。



 
Head Juror
Kenji Ekuan
(Industrial Designer)
I suppose that enlightenment means affection. Although human beings are secured by a profound affection, it is hard to see or feel this in everyday life. In this sense, our competition offers a good opportunity to find that affection and approach it.


Jury Panel
Kiyoshi Awazu
(Graphic Designer)
Taoism teaches us that there is 'Tao'(:'way') in everything. Accordingly, Kendo is the 'way,' and the Tea ceremony is the 'way.' Human beings also have a variety of 'ways' within their bodies, for example, 'ways' for the blood. Finally, the light is the 'way' too. Seeking a 'way' is the fundamental rule of designing, and therefore, designing is a form of training.

Kiyonori Kikutake
( Architect)
When I was asked for advice on a plan for the lighting design competition for students, I was a little negative. However ten years since the competition started, my concern has now almost gone. In my opinion, entries from foreign countries have made a significant contribution to the competition, upgrading the overall quality of the competition as a result.

Shoei Yoh
(Architect)
Looking back on the 10-year history of the competition, I see that many people have put in a lot of effort and achieved much. Among them, I am most impressed with the challenge to have introduced the concept of "Ecology," which has made the competition all the more significant and meaningful, with its positive commitment to social issues.

Paolo Lomazzi
(Industrial Designer)
During the competition this time, again there were some works which were difficult to find a meaning in at first glance. However, because both we and corporations have to try and look for new meanings in things which may seem to be meaningless, we should always remain sincere and endeavor to carry on in our duty.

Angelo Cortesi
(Industrial Designer)
One of the few things which can still make us feel a sense of magical power is lighting. Almost everything else in our lives is becoming materialistic. I hope the young generation can give birth to a creation which would express heavenly powers and the greatest powers of nature, by means of technology.
