Depth reveals the pain and bitterness behind lighting designers

For many people, the lighting designer's job is to design, get money, work easily, and earn a lot of money. In fact, designers also have their own pain and difficulty. At present, the pain and problems faced by domestic designers are summarized in several aspects: first tier designers are tired of reform and opening up and the further development of market economy system. China's GDP has been expanding continuously for 20 consecutive years, and the domestic construction and decoration industry has been developing rapidly. All over the country, construction projects are booming and new construction projects emerge one after another. China has become a hot and huge construction site. Designers in the field of construction are facing the pressure of increasing workload while facing great development opportunities. With the increase of design business, most designers are exhausted all day long, and the design process in the field of architecture gradually falls into the state of "poor thinking", which makes the depth and breadth of professional research greatly reduced. No wonder foreign friends in design circles say, "Chinese designers lose their style in the spring breeze"! Designers are caught up in the awkward situation of kitsch, and the economy takes off. In the short term, various fields of social production create thousands of so-called "people who get rich first". These emerging rich people do not lack many millionaires or millionaires. But in this group, the wealth they possess is not directly proportional to their knowledge and inner taste. However, this group is increasingly becoming the backbone of investment and construction in emerging markets, and designers need to serve. Ten years of hardship and ascend to the sky. They have a strong sense of control. They often ask designers to follow their wishes in engineering design. Therefore, in this particular market stage, the vast majority of construction projects have strong "traces of Party A will", regardless of the level of awareness of what kind of awareness will be implemented through the designer's hands. A large number of architectural and decorative projects lacking scientific proof, cultural and artistic taste, and blindly luxurious accumulation have sprung up in China's streets and alleys. But the designer lost himself in this round of market, at least I think most of the designers are for the basic survival, plus overload work and outside intervention, kitsch has become a common way to deal with this kind of design. But what's sad is that in this process, the designer loses not only his own thoughts, but also his academic attainment and his mentality. For the ecological problems related to the national conditions and people's livelihood, there are few to sit down to think about. Academic designers are unable to escape from the practice of theory, just as many frontline designers are struggling with the potential of building waves. Many excellent academic designers (University Teachers and researchers) are not only comfortable with food and clothing, but also have more advanced research equipment and comfortable working environment. They have the most advanced and idealized design concepts and design ideas, and have continuously improved artistic attainments. But in fact, the good environment makes them generally disconnected from practice and can not serve the current wave of construction. Excellent design ideas, theories and theoretical results have become incapable of leaving practice, and architectural domain design is a highly practical subject. Superior and idealized research makes them reluctant to participate in complicated and intricate competition. This will lead to their lack of skills and means to achieve their own creativity, and most advanced ideas can hardly be applied to practice. In order to meet the situation of the great development of domestic construction and the reform of colleges and universities, many domestic institutions of higher learning, whether or not there are teachers, will set up more popular subjects in the market and expand enrollment blindly. The field of architecture is no exception. All kinds of social forces running schools, professional technical secondary schools or even computer training classes have joined the ranks of "manufacturing designers". How much can designers understand in a short span of one and a half years for architecture, art and culture? However, in the short span of 10 years, the practitioners in the field of architectural design have expanded rapidly, and the design market has entered a chaotic and disorderly competition period. There are also some basic level designers who have low quality, lack of professional ethics, lack of academic attainments and exploration spirit. In market competition, they have reduced the value of designers, blind pursuit of fame and fortune, superficial vulgarity, chasing fashion and even adding fuel to the flames to join the ranks of misleading consumers. This situation is particularly serious in the field of home decoration. In order to extract the so-called Commercial Commission, the designers who energetically sell the so-called new materials to Party A are everywhere, and the great achievements in promoting new materials for the sake of interests are also brilliant. They should bear some responsibility for the waste of resources caused by the low-grade interest in the current construction and decoration projects and the accumulation of high-grade materials. The consequence of vicious competition has contributed to the failure of many excellent designers to get the corresponding rewards and reduce the enthusiasm of creativity. Some social media have even compared designers with prostitutes. As a result, many people hide in Colleges and universities and their research rooms do not want to face the society, resulting in many practical value design ideas can not be verified and developed in practice, including many research achievements in the field of ecology. The high-end designers disdain designers, senior masters and industry leaders in the high-end design field. They are very proud of their status and past achievements. They are not fully responsible for the coming changes. This can be reflected in the following aspects: China has introduced a large number of high-end architectural design in recent years. These designs, while enjoying great support from national finance, did not play a role in reasonably inducing the reform of domestic building energy efficiency, but on the contrary, they triggered a new wave of luxury building construction across the country. The state form played a bad role. As the high-end of the industry, the masters have more opportunities to explore the world. They have profound cultural and academic attainments, and most of the economy is very well-off. Small design can not see, big design can not give full play to its authority, and put forward its own rationalization proposals, resulting in two wrong and extreme development directions of Chinese architectural and decorative design. On the one hand, ordinary people are at a loss in front of green design, paying for the waste of all the people, and on the other hand, at all levels. The cost of the government's "not rich and extravagant" costs the introduction of a vase like thing that still needs to be spent at great cost to maintain. A good interior designer is also a designer of furniture and accessories, and a furniture designer is probably a skilled craftsman. The training of professionals in Chinese professional field is separated. The professional setup of colleges and universities is to separate architectural design, landscape design and interior design, and even furniture design is included in industrial design. This kind of personnel training structure has resulted in the inconsistency of design in the field of domestic architectural design. After completing the structural design of the building, the architectural designer shook hands to the interior designer, while the interior furniture system mostly chose the finished products. This design baton system is not conducive to the emergence of excellent interior architectural design, which is a reason why China has never been able to win the landmark building design. Let's imagine that the interior designers who get the civil engineering blueprint of building structure first have to reallocate the layout of space layout and realize the art of space. In this process, many original spatial structures will be modified. This modification is almost without considering the so-called indoor continuity of the building appearance. Its process is often the so-called space art transformation of wall breaking and hole digging, and the waste of material is inevitable. On the issue of coordination, the architectural design mode of each link of the building is mutually exclusive, which restricts the designer's grasp of the overall situation of the building, and even shirk the responsibility. The design of building energy efficiency system crosses the boundary of this division of labor. Under the current design system, it is easy to become a wrangle. The increase in the need for coordination will cause a certain degree of confusion and improve the construction cost to some extent. Summary: in the face of ecological crisis and energy crisis, designers in architectural and architectural interior design have great responsibilities and shoulder heavy responsibilities, but the position of "vanguard" is certain. This requires the majority of designers to start from perfecting themselves, changing their concepts and cultivating their sense of responsibility. The research direction of professionals should be dedicated and pragmatic. China needs a large number of responsible and pragmatic green researchers. Calling for more universal and commonweal research results for the benefit of the descendants for the common people, and at the policy level, we must follow up the standardization of designers and the improvement of designers' living conditions. If we want to overcome the ecological crisis, we must care about the living conditions of this group. The so-called welfare policies should focus on the designers who make a great contribution to the national construction and most of them are in the freelance state.
