How to play with the power of design on the wave?
Is it the collision of inspiration and imagination?
Is it the spark that led to Zhimei Vision meeting a design celebrity?
All the answers lie in the feast of China’s new design youth that integrates new ways of creative design!
Co-organized by Oceano and Guangzhou Design Week, the Southwest and East China Divisions of China’s New Design Youth (2020) Annual Selection Tour and “Idea·Jing” Creative Space Designer Salon have successfully concluded in Chengdu and Hangzhou Curtain.
At the roadshows of the two competition areas, the judges of China's New Design Youth (2020) were invited: David Picasso, a famous Spanish architect and design partner of Picasso in the Spanish headquarters, Pang Xi, founder of Xishe and founder of Xiyan LIFE brand , Shuhei Aoyama, founder and chief architect of B.L.U.E. Architectural Design Office, and Du Heng, founder of Yashe Advocacy and founder of D.HOUSE art home brand, came to the scene to discuss the confusion of young designers, their difficulties, and their designs. Trends and their future bring inspiration and thinking to young designers in the two competition areas!
Let’s take a look at what the four designers have to say!
Design comes from the heart, enough love and enthusiasm are particularly important
"New youth" has become a hot word today. When design meets new youth, it should reflect vigorous creativity and endless creativity. But in reality, many young designers are faced with confusion: how to move forward? How to adjust?
China Design New Youth (2020) Selection Officer: Teacher David Picasso
On these issues, Mr. David Picasso gave young designers a shot in the arm at the Southwest Division road show.
Mr. David said in his speech, “If you don’t have enough love and passion for design, don’t consider becoming a designer.” The implication is that after you decide to engage in the design industry, you must devote yourself to it. Only by pouring love and passion into every design work can the work become a soulful design.

Teacher Pang Xi also shared his views on design and suggestions for young designers. Teacher Pang Xi said: "Young designers should have fun, follow their own hearts to design and create, and follow their interests to explore design." He also shared interesting stories with the owners and experiences from previous projects, giving the young designers on the spot Learned a practical lesson.

As a designer, your work should not be designed just for the sake of design
The group of young designers has emerged - they have more diverse cultural backgrounds, broader design vision, and more personalized design creativity. However, they are also easily labeled as stereotyped and easily influenced by the environment. They are also easily confused, "What is good design" and "Why do we design?"
At the road show in the East China Division, Mr. Du Heng borrowed the famous saying of the French architect Le Corbusier: "Style is the harmony of principles. It gives life to all works of an era. It comes from the spirit of individuality" to open up the sharing conversation .

Strong designers speak for themselves with their works. Mr. Du, who advocates "subtractive design", believes that "there is no standard for beauty" and individual works can better highlight the designer's style and charm. At the same time, she believes that the creation of a space should not be empty. Designers must inject spiritual power into their works. Only works with soul can truly touch people's hearts. What SCD's elegance advocates is the power of inner expression. Teacher Du also expressed an important point in his speech: good design should ensure consistency down to the last detail. No bias, no imbalance, maintain consistency and stability, and pay attention to the wholeOnly unique works can be considered truly good designs.

The design that Mr. Shuhei Aoyama hopes for is one that can connect urban life and people through his works. In his view, design should be a positive energy injected into society. He hopes that through the design of space, he can improve the state of society and make people's lives better. What Mr. Qingshan does is not only the responsibility of a designer, he integrates human touch into his designs and brings more warmth and care to people and society.

As a designer, the work should not be designed just for the sake of design, but should achieve more social ideals through design. Only by allowing the work to become an assembly for building humanity can we achieve greater design ideals.
China Design New Youth (2020) Selection Officer: Teacher Zhou Ping Aoyama
After the sharing by famous teachers, several questions can’t help but make people think deeply: What is the source of your works? What meaning do you want to give to your design work? I believe these two issues are worthy of careful consideration by young designers.
High-quality platform allows young designers to showcase their talents
Design is a breakthrough and creation of human consciousness. The essence of design is to break through limitations and return to life. The young designers who participated in the competition used their creativity to break limitations and brought us many excellent works that are close to life and integrated into life.
During the tour of the competition area, Zheng Shousheng, CEO of Guangzhou Design Week Academy, also mentioned in his speech that the China Design New Youth Selection event is committed to creating a talented display platform for young designers, allowing designers to use their talent and wisdom to compete together. Each stroke outlines the ideal living environment for us, making the quality of life higher and higher. Next, China’s New Design Youth (2020) annualThe selected roadshows in the Northwest, South China and North China regions will also be coming soon. More big names in design will also meet more young designers. Everyone is looking forward to it!
