"Possibilities of design-past and future (keywords of this time)"Mr. Kimitaka Kato (Adviser / JDMA Special Member: Japan Institute of Design Promotion, Managing Director)
Let's take a look at the current and future "design" by organizing the flow of "design" evolving with the times from the on-site experience of design that has been experienced in companies for more than 40 years. At that time, "design" is analyzed in line with each time axis of "value, technology, physicality, and society", and as a result, "design" fulfills the changes in social values and the evolution of technology. Let's take a bird's-eye view of the roles and achievements that have been achieved, and take a bird's-eye view of the direction of "design" that is expected in the future. In addition, I would like to discuss with you the keywords that interest me at this time.

JDMA Research Cafe Life Design Inomata and Hoshino
Design for disability resolution
"Phantom limb pain" is a mysterious phenomenon in which the limbs that should have been lost after amputation of the limbs are felt to exist (phantom limbs), and the phantom limbs are severely hurt. Phantom limbs and phantom limb pain can occur not only after amputation of the limbs, but also when the limbs are paralyzed in sensation and movement due to nerve damage or spinal cord injury.
Inomata experienced a serious injury in a motorcycle accident at the age of 17. His right arm surgery was successful, but he subsequently suffered from phantom limb pain that hurts his supposedly numb arm. Currently, I am working on research on devices that use VR technology to relieve the pain.
We face various difficulties in our lives, but this time we would like to ask Mr. Inomata to talk about how design can contribute to pain.

I am. While introducing hot examples at the research cafe, we will provide an interesting perspective on how cultural arts are linked to urban development and how art intervenes in the creation of a place for citizens to interact with each other. We will continue to interact.

Five Phases of Design Management
The Japan Design Management Association is thinking about the future of design management and its activities in five phases. It is 1. Social design 2. Regional design 3. Life design 4. Corporate design 5. There are five phases of creativity education. Until now, design management has developed and developed the theory and practice of design in the cycle of management, technology, production, distribution, consumption and life culture from the viewpoint of "corporate design". This axis will not change in the future, but today, the roles, practices and research required for design are social (Society), regional (Region), life (Life), and management (Corporation). , Directed to the creative side (Creation). At the same time, these things are also required for corporate activities, research and development, and education. In addition, SDGs "Sustainable Development Goals" are also required to be put into practice in society, regions, companies, and education as a realistic issue. The Japan Design Management Association (JDMA) will develop comprehensive activities through social cooperation and international cooperation, based on practice and research on these issues.
* The SDGs were adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015, and are the 17 goals set by 193 UN member states to achieve in the 15 years from 2016 to 2030.
Social design
Social design can be thought of as an activity that envisions how to create shared value in society and specifically links it to the activities of local communities, communities, companies, and individuals. The spread and significance of these activities is great, and there is an increasing demand for integration functions by design (functions that connect fields and different industries by design) and information dissemination.
Regional Design
How to revitalize the region and community is a major issue for Japan. Regions and communities have their own history, their lands, and their unique values and cultures rooted in people. Inheriting and developing these is an important point of view for regional and community revitalization.
Life design
"Life design" is an activity to make a life plan in order to live a worthwhile life. Today, which is said to be the age of 100 years of life, thinking about the outlook on life and lifestyle only from the perspective of working age is no longer suitable for the coming era. Major trends in Japanese society: The digital revolution, super-aging, declining birthrate, etc. will continue to progress in the future. In such an uncertain and uncertain era, a design-oriented life plan that "draws dreams, makes hypotheses, repeats trials and errors, and walks your own life" will make your future your future. It will open abundantly.
Corporate Design
Business management and design are becoming more and more relevant today. In addition, we are strengthening our design commitment not only in corporate organizations but also in various organizational management (administrative agencies, third sector, social welfare corporations, etc.). In addition, how to connect new design fields such as service design and UX design (User Experience Dsign: design that enhances experience value) to corporate management and R & D is also important as the role of design management.
Education of Creativity
Education has been institutionalized from the perspective of social, industrial and lifestyle development, forming today's educational environment. Nowadays, "creativity = originality and usefulness" plays a very important role not only in the fields of art and design, but also in management, technology, production, distribution, consumption, society and life culture. JDMA is engaged in activities to activate creativity in order to create essential social value, and we believe that promotion of creativity education is indispensable for thinking about the future of Japan. And, in order to foster the next generation of "creators," we are advancing efforts that go beyond the conventional framework of education.
