2023 GDA DESIGN THINKING AWARD

DESIGN THINKING is a relatively modern discipline which, at first, seems difficult to explain.

It is used by business leaders, medical teams, lawyers, engineers and many other professionals, who are mostly far from being designers themselves. So DESIGN THINKING can be seen as a set of cognitive, strategic and practical tools where design concepts are developed – usually bringing in factors like UI, customer response and the environment which will normally be sidestepped.

Basically DESIGN THINKING is a method borrowed from the design profession in being able to deal simultaneously with complexity. Design thinking is the cognitive skill of handling many unknown factors but where the end goal is a harmonic, balanced result. When IBM created a power computer they merged their normal processor chips with graphic chips from Navidia. The result was a greatly enhanced performance. In even simpler terms, it is like adding yeast to flour and water to make even better bread.

Projects that are eligable for the DESIGN THINKING AWARD will be projects where the results are often improbable but excellent solutions, developed through a disruptive development. They can be many different themes from bus timetables to COVID testing to Circular Economy to production rationalsation.

The deadline for the DESIGN THINKING AWARD is the 20th of March 2023 at 20.00 UTC- Coordinated Universal Time

設計思維DESIGN THINKING是一門相對現代的學科，剛開始被產業及學術界使用時，因為很難從字面的意義來解釋而難以被理解。近來設計思維被商業領袖、醫療團隊、律師、工程師和許多其他專業人士廣泛使用，他們大多都不是設計師。因此，設計思維可以被視為一種認知、策略和實用的工具，設計概念在設計思維DESIGN THINKING中展開通常會導入使用者介面（UI）、使用者經驗和通常會被迴避的環境等因素。

基本上，設計思維是一種從設計專業借來的能夠處理在同一個時空下發生各種複雜問題的解決方法。也可以說設計思維是一種處理許多未知因素的認知技能，但最終目標是和諧、平衡的結果。當IBM創建第一台電腦時，他們將普通處理器芯片與Navidia的圖形芯片結合，性能因此大大提高。更簡單地說，這就像在麵粉和水中添加酵母來製作更好吃的麵包一樣。

舉凡經由顛覆性開發而產生通常不太可能的結果，但非常出色的解決方案的項目都有資格獲得DESIGN THINKING AWARD，它們可以是許多不同領域的專案，從公共運輸時刻表、新冠病毒檢測工具到循環經濟再到生產合理化都值得被授獎。

The GDA AWARDS organisation is for the 21st century. The multiple challenges of today are often answered by talented forward-looking people. Unique thinkers and first movers. People who make solutions rather than those who consume passively. The GDA AWARDS are designed to give recognition to those individuals, designers and companies who actually care and strive to do something positive.

For a world where ideas can be exchanged instantly. GDA embraces both the UN’s 17 World Goals and also the 2050 zero carbon targets. GDA is also about empowering the individual in using design for the good. And sharing those ideas. For a totally different climate and sustainable lifestyle.

GDA AWARDS以迎向21世紀更美好的未來為願景而創立。當今的各種挑戰往往需要有遠見、有才華、有熱情的人共同解決。我們需要獨特的思想家和先行者，提出解決方案的人，而不是被動消費的人。GDA AWARDS旨在表彰那些真正關心並努力積極做事的個人、藝術家、創作者、設計師和大小企業。

身處想法可立即交換的世界中，GDA獎項既包含聯合國的17項永續發展目標，也包含2050年的零碳目標。GDA獎期許更多人使用設計來行善並分享想法。為未來完全不同的氣候挑戰和可持續的生活方式，我們一起努力。

Criteria for the awards

The Great Design Awards is a curated award organisation. The selection panel is led by renowned international designers who have previous experience in this type of work from the European and Asian design competitions. The work of the panel is strictly impartial. The panel itself comprises mainly professional designers rather than educationalists or theorists.

As our aim is to recognise good design, there is an implication that not all the applications will be achieve the distinction of receiving an award. This adds to the value of the submission which do reach that level.

The selection criteria are based on some or all of the following:

 Suitability for purpose

 Form and function as related to the users

 Sustainability and environmental impact

 UX and the human factor

 Extended equality and access

 Responsible consumption

 Aesthetic action

評審規範

GDA Awards是以丹麥為基地創立的歐洲國際大獎，和傳統主辦單位不同的是GDA獎項切合時代需要，並且高度數位化，申獎程序簡便且高度保護個人隱私及企業機密。

2022年公布的全球政府數位化排名中丹麥取得第一名的好成績，也顯現在GDA Awards獎項申請程序和各項溝通的效率上。

遴選小組由國際知名設計師領導，他們在歐洲和亞洲的設計競賽中具有此類工作經驗。專家組的工作是嚴格公正的，主要由專業人員及設計師組成，而不是教育家或理論家。

由於我們的目標是表彰優秀的作品，也因此並非所有申請者都能獲得獎項。

評審採用以下部分或全部的標準：

• 適用性
• 與使用者相關的造形和功能
• 可持續性和環境影響
• 用戶體驗（使用者經驗）和人機介面、人因工程
• 人權、平等、一般人取得或使用產品、服務、作品的難易度
• 負責任的消費
• 美學
• 獎勵
