內容簡介

日本設計大師原研哉最新作品，貫穿大師思維與作品理念的精髓之作
全面理解原研哉的設計中心思想

日本設計大師及MUJI無印良品設計總監原研哉全新著作，截取《Ex-formation植物》、《RESORT》系列等書精髓重新再版。原研哉的設計理念主要都圍繞在同一個主題：「Ex-formation」。將已知的事物「未知化」，透過這樣的思考過程，發現自我對於事物的認知有多少，進而對事物有更深層的理解。換一個角度看待事物，了解自我的無知，就有可能開啟認知的新大陸，例如植物不能像動物一樣自由走動，但透過生長的方式仍能展露旺盛的生命力。原研哉希望透過他的作品，提醒讀者及創作者千萬不要被已知的訊息矇蔽而失去想像力，透過陌生的眼光及角度，重新審視熟悉的事物，千萬不要失去對生活的好奇心。

Coinciding with the new edition of the bestseller Designing Design, Kenya Hara's latest book, Ex-formation, searches for the beginning of design in the unknown. For Kenya Hara, design begins with comprehension of the unknown. In contrast to "information," "exformation" describes how little we really know and thus becomes the starting point for any type of design. Based on a range of projects the book describes what "exformation" can look like in design practice and how this concept alters ur classic understanding of information design. Following the path embarked on in Designing Design (2007) and its successor, White (2010), Ex-formation continues to explore the void, absence, and indeterminacy in contemporary design.
