| この回の象徴的なテーマは、アートに近づいた、幻想的な作品を多く生み出すことになった。「デザインコンペ」をうたったコンペとして、この傾向が逸脱だと憂うべきか、あるいは、もの作りに人間性と神話性が回復したと喜ぶべきかは、意見が分かれた。ただし、金賞を獲得した「The other bulb」は、科学文明に対する警告を含んだ作品で、高いインテリジェンスが多くの支持を得た。一方、阪神大震災の後とあって、災害が起こった場合に失われたひかりを取り戻すための提案もあった。 |

Because of the nature of theme, which was“ Innovation & Humanization”, there was tendency that artistic and fantastic elements were more emphasized than they were before. Opinions on this tendency, and arguments over how the design competition should be, were clearly divided into two: one group claimed that the tendency was not consistent with the objective of the competition, and the other group found it to be desirable because the tendency can be considered as a restoration of humanity and mythography under such arguments“, The other Bulb”, the Gold Award winning design, was highly praised for its message to warn against scientific civilization and higher forms of intelligence. It is also noticeable that in this Eighth Competition, which was held shortly after the great earthquake hit the Hanshin area, a form of lighting, which was designed to make up for lost light after the disaster, was proposed. |
