Chinese design Guo Qiming: Telling about ecology in interior design

At the beginning of the year, Guo Qiming was at the "Design Annual Meeting of 100 Chinese Forums". At the lecture, Mr. Guo shared his understanding of design management with the most popular humorous language and vivid PPt screen. The slight questions include how to improve work efficiency, how to achieve personal value, how to cooperate with the company, etc., not only caused the resonance of the designers present, but also the author also benefited a lot.

Guo Qiming is not only a designer, but also a visiting professor at five famous universities in China. He has hosted more than 150 series of design China 100 forums, and invited famous designers from Germany, Italy, and other places to give lectures in China, including famous designers Paul Andrew, John Baolong, and Arata Isozaki. And other world-class masters. He is also the design director of Shanghai Hongding Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd. This is the first company in China to be guided by public space art. Among the many identities of Guo Qiming, the most representative ones that will be mentioned on many occasions are the chief representatives of the China Design Exchange Center at Bauhaus University in Germany.

Chief representative of Bauhaus University

Bauhaus University is the birthplace of the world's modern design and an internationally renowned architectural school. Bauhaus is the first school to combine materials, craftsmanship and aesthetics, and is no longer simply based on feeling. The masters of Bauhaus University, such as Mies van der Rohe, Ameyer, Kandinsky, etc., have taught there. During World War II, these teachers came to the United States to create the Harvard University Department of Architecture and trained many well-known designers.

Guo Qiming himself graduated from the Department of Architecture of Tongji University and Bauhaus University in Germany. His design works are characterized by modern aesthetics and rational art, and directly follow the Bauhaus style. In order to promote cultural exchanges between China and Germany, he will also lead a group of Chinese designers to study modern design in Bauhaus, Germany. At present, Guo Qiming is being commissioned by the China Building Decoration Association to start editing textbooks for designers such as Landscape Design, Public Space Art, and China New Media Architecture.

Recently, Guo Qiming's status quo and future development trends in the field of architectural decoration design, combined with excellent design cases at home and abroad, hosted the compilation of "Space Artist" has been published. This comprehensive practical book, which integrates indoor and outdoor design ideas, design content, design methods and design management, is designed to help designers integrate scientific concepts, logical methods, professional knowledge and different forms of art. Among the design techniques, the design and technical level of the design workers and the artistry and scientific nature of the design workers are enhanced to realize the transformation of the design workers from “smiths” to “teachers”.

Hosted more than 150 "Design China Forums"

When I was in college, my favorite teacher was the kind of lecture humor. When I was in class, I wouldn’t hypnotize you like the old monk chanting. Guo Qiming is such a teacher. A student of Guo Qiming sighed on Weibo: "Mr. Guo’s class is really happy!" The author was invited by Guo Qiming to participate in the Design China Forum many times, and the author’s most impressive impression was also shared by Teacher Guo. His sharing is not limited to design. His comments often combine hot news and more vivid examples in life, so that everyone will smile a little. Occasionally, some stories of “naughty” breaking guests will make the wonderful story a real look of a celebrity in the industry that seems to be far away from us.

When talking about the original intention of holding a design China 100 forum, Guo Qiming said that many designers went out of school and found that what they learned was derailed from the market. They wanted to know what others were and wanted to communicate. There are many activities in the design industry. There are forums, cocktail parties, and material traders' conferences, almost all of which are purely commercial activities. At the scene, I invited a lot of well-known designers to do the show, and I couldn't say anything professional. I helped the material dealers cut the ribbon and the photo was finished. This makes Guo Qiming feel that business activities waste too much time. As a designer and a teacher, he hopes to create a purer art platform and let young people and senior designers have more opportunities to communicate. He also urged him to host and plan "Design China."

Opened the "Design Management" series of courses

In 2008, the first phase of the design of China's 100 forums was held. At that time, Wu Zhiqiang, the designer of the Expo, was invited to make a report. After that, the design China was held in Weimar, Germany, Milan, Beijing, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Jinan, etc., and has more than 150 issues. At least one industry expert is invited to give a speech at each issue, so there are at least 150 guests who have participated in the Design China Forum. Participants in these activities are not only simple architects, designers, real estate developers, but also public figures, artists and so on. According to Guo Qiming's recollections, Hong Kong and Taiwan's designers, including Liang Zhitian and other top domestic masters, have basically come, and there are Japanese, German, and Italian design experts abroad. It is not easy to create a pure academic exchange platform with the help of personal strength. It is also easy to see Guo Qiming's influence and personal charm in the industry.

Today's "Design China" 100 Forum is no longer a lecture, but an upgrade to a series of courses. "Today, I came to listen to my East and talked about it. West said that there is not much profit in this way. If there is a theme, such as lighting design, changing the sky, soft furnishings, you can specialize in design management in the next day." Guo Qiming hopes Those who come to the class can learn more through such systematic courses.

“What kind of curriculum is design management? It is actually a transformation of the designer's operating model.” Guo Qiming himself has been studying in Germany for four years, and his greatest achievement is design management. “The fate of Chinese designers is very poor. From the perspective of profit model, they all earn money with the cost of sacrifice time. The core of design management is to teach you 20 times more work efficiency, so that more people can do more. Enjoy life."

Ecological environment

In the design, Guo Qiming is most concerned with the creation of a good ecological environment to meet the needs of the owners for a healthy life.

Guo Qiming once worked as a clubhouse in Mount Emei, when the owners made a special request. The owner hopes that there will be no light in the clubhouse, but at night it will be able to attract a lot of fireflies, so that everyone can both illuminate and feel a romantic atmosphere. What kind of ecological environment can attract fireflies instead of attracting mosquitoes? This gave Guo Qiming a problem. "It was really attracted." Guo Qiming said that the scenery and scenery there, the natural environment was originally beautiful, Guo Qiming did not want to design a house that could not match such a beautiful environment. “Good design is a respect for land, homeland, and the environment. You can respect this thing very seriously before you can do it.”

Guo Qiming's emphasis on the ecological environment in his design is not unrelated to his personal growth experience. "I have some orchards in my hometown. When I was a child, I was an apple tree in the mountains. A tree can have 80 kilograms of apples. When the tree is full of fruit, you will feel very shocked and beautiful. At that time, I felt that When the mountains and plains are all such apple trees, I feel very happy. I always have the impression that I want to see the state of the apple tree at home. There is no pollution in the place and no craft. I really like the ecological things." Now with the city As the process progressed, we opened factories, found a lot of roads, and the surrounding environment became worse and worse. The scenery of the original villages and ancient towns was hard to see, which made Guo Qiming feel sorry. China's ecological environment pollution is also very serious. For Guo Qiming, what can be done is to do its utmost to protect its natural environment in the design project, and not to do more damage and transformation.

Indoor ecological design

So, what is the ecological design of the indoor environment? In this regard, Guo Qiming explained: "What landscape you can see in the house, where is the mainstream wind, where is the moon, where can you see the scenery, these should be considered. There are things in the room. The influence, such as camphor wood, a friend of mine bought a set of camphor wood furniture at home, he could not sleep insomnia, go to the hospital just fine, go home and sleepless. The smell of camphor wood can not stand the head In the long run, the nerves are weak. There are 36 plants that are carcinogenic, and there are a lot of greenery in the house. The family is sick. These are the ecological requirements of the indoor environment."

However, Chinese interior designers, architects and landscape architects will do too little eco-design. Green, low-carbon and environmental protection are hot topics in the industry in recent years. We use environmental protection as a slogan, but we really pay attention to environmental protection. ? Guo Qiming believes that environmental protection should not be just cultural and formal. He cited a string of numbers: in interior design, the number of deaths caused by unfriendly building materials is 200,000 a year. "The suicide rate is very high when the environment is bad, so many people's psychological endurance is reduced." This requires designers to pay attention to the indoor ecological environment when doing interior design.

In order to further explain the importance of the indoor landscape, Guo Qiming also gave an example of the newly renovated company environment. "I have an negative ion content in this house. When the sun shines on the house, it will suck in the carbon dioxide and the oxygen will spit it out. What is the oxygen content of this room, and what is the negative ion content? There is no pollution in the carpet and wall of this house. There is no smell at all. Ecology is treating people as a creature. What do you need for this person? Sunshine, air, water It's not comfortable, luxurious, beautiful, it's not important compared to health."

Integrate cross-border resources to form a new company

Since entering the Tongji University in 1993, Guo Qiming has been in contact with the design industry for nearly 20 years. In the past 20 years, he has worked as a teacher, opened a company, took over different design projects, set up designer activities, opened design management courses, and made countless attempts and explorations. Nowadays, he is still trying to find a breakthrough in his career.

In May 2012, Shanghai Hongding Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd. was established, which is the first company in China to be guided by public space art. Guo Qiming is the design director of Hongding Art Co., and he is also one of the founders of the company. Shanghai Hongding Art breaks the post-business model of traditional home improvement companies and integrates cross-border resources such as artists, oil painters, sculptors and singers, trying to bring consumers a more artistic and lifestyle space. Currently completed projects include Istone Jewelry, Emerald Dreams, and Himalayan Art Museum. In the office of Hongding Culture and Art, cross-border discussion salons are held regularly every month, and people from all walks of life are welcome to participate.
