Chen Gang said in his speech that the planning and construction of the Xiongan New Area itself is a great design. For more than three years, the Party Working Committee and Management Committee of Xiongan New Area, under the strong leadership of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, has fully implemented the important speech and important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the planning and construction of the Xiongan New Area. In order to create history, pursue the spirit of art, draw on international experience, gather global wisdom, form a high-quality planning system, and coordinate every link from detailed planning to individual design to ensure the integration of planning and design, engineering and construction in the whole process embodies openness, tolerance and diversity. The planning and design of Xiongan New Area insists on returning to the value concept of putting people at the core, focusing on building a new future city in which man, nature, and science and technology are coordinated, paying more attention to the sustainable and safe development of the city, and striving to prevent traffic congestion, environmental pollution, "Big city diseases" such as high housing prices, insufficient security and resilience, and uneven public service levels have emerged. At present, the Xiongan New Area has entered a large-scale construction stage from the planning stage, paying more attention to the important role of architectural style, green and livable, digital intelligence, innovative development and other aspects in shaping this future city, and strive to integrate multiple design concepts implement it in the entire life cycle of city construction, management, and operation, form a strong driving force for the sustainable development of Xiongan New Area, and accelerate the construction of a green city with blue sky and clear water, a city of intelligent technology innovation, a harmonious and quiet livable city. 

Dialogue guests:

Chen Dongliang, Vice President of China Industrial Design Association and Chairman of Beijing Industrial Design Promotion Association, Phil Simmons, Vice President of Modeling at Harvard Design Center, Wang Xiaoai, Chief Representative of China, Glasgow Academy of Fine Arts, UK, Zheng Dedong, Director of Institute of Tourism and Landscape, Southeast University.

In this roundtable dialogue, the three guests engaged in stimulating discussions on“urban change and sustainable social scenarios”. The changes in the future city and the development of all aspects of society are closely connected and influence each other. Aiming at the future urban development of Xiongan, with green environmental protection as a sustainable goal, Phil Simmons believes that convenient charging facilities are conducive to the popularization of electric vehicles, which will greatly alleviate air quality. Zheng Dedong believes that we should learn to appreciate the city, tap the greatest value and beauty of the city, and avoid the uniformity and island effect of the city. In Wang Xiaoai's view, design has become an important tool to help organizations transform their strategic approach in order to participate in and promote this development method. Innovation needs to explore the possibility of realizing things in the experimental area and deal with the uncertainty of the development of things. Innovative design focuses on design methods oriented to change to deal with complex social and systemic issues. Chen Dongliang said that the best design should be foreseeing and foreseeing what humans will need in the future, rather than leaving what we have to them. Today, we are thinking about design and planning and designing from a high starting point in Xiongan to foresee our future.

Tomorrow's manufacturing

New scene of circular economy

Thomas Tang, founder and CEO of KNOW

Topic: Home smart design in the post-epidemic era

Thomas Tang shared that China’s smart home has been developing since 2013, and the entire market has grown to 140 billion in 2019. With the outbreak of this year’s epidemic, the daily life of the public has undergone great changes. The application of smart communities, smart cities, and smart family allows us to see the development needs of smart furniture in the future. At present, the smart home supply chain is initially established, but the overall layout is relatively scattered. Smart furniture is not pieced together by individual products. It is a complete system. Only when major manufacturers are interconnected can smart homes truly land.

Han Ting, Vice Dean of School of Design, Shanghai Jiao Tong University

Topic: Design-driven innovation and high-quality industrial development

Han Ting shared a keynote speech on "Design-driven innovation and high-quality industrial development" for the guests and audiences of the Xiongan Design Forum. Regarding the manufacturing of tomorrow, he believes that talents are the protagonists of tomorrow. What mankind needs tomorrow is not technology itself, but based on the high-quality life under the scene, we need to focus on the training of design talents and use design to improve the quality of life.

Wu Di, founder of Lianlian Group

Topic: Matters, Matters

Wu Di said in her sharing that under the influence of consumerism, the market is full of excessive consumption and low-cost manufacturing, which puts a huge burden on the environment and resources every year. During the epidemic this year, Neuni Group organized a "matters matters" new material art exhibition, using existing materials around us to rethink the application of materials through the form of art exhibitions. She said that the design of the future will not only be cut from the design point, but also from the material and the supply chain.

Dominic Ma, head of Shanghai, German INDEED Innovation innovative design consulting company

Topic: Circular Innovation

Dominic Ma said that there are three main principles for the design of the circulation system. One is to avoid waste and pollution at the beginning of the design, the other is to design with the concept of circular economy, and the third is to promote the regeneration of natural systems. While human beings are discarding, they not only cause harm to the environment, but also cause huge economic losses. The current innovations are innovations for profit, but in fact, the protection of the environment and the ecological environment is where innovation is most needed.

Zhou Junnian, Director, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of CRRC Tangshan

Topic: Discussion on the design concept of rail transit equipment serving the development of new cities and regional integration

Zhou Junnian mentioned in his sharing that with the rapid economic and social development, the transportation pattern is being completely reshaped, especially under the development of big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and new energy technologies, which will bring more development to future travel. may. In his view, regionally integrated transportation should form a multi-modal interconnected travel system to provide consumers with flexible, efficient, and integrated travel services. At the same time, new product design should also consider public safety issues more through technology. Means to improve the epidemic prevention capabilities of transportation equipment and provide passengers with a safe and healthy travel environment.

Wang Yun, Dean of Industrial Design and Research Institute of China Academy of Art

Topic: China Design Intelligent Manufacturing Cooperative Innovation Model

Wang Yun said that the evolutionary history of design is the evolutionary history of human life. In the post-epidemic era, in the face of economic recovery and reconstruction, design needs more craftsmanship and innovation, and sustainable ecology requires rethinking design methodology, from new cultural creation to new manufacturing to new services, and collaborative innovation to promote designs with social influence and industry release.

Round Table Dialogue: Economic Recovery, Reconstructing the New Industry Eco-system

After a whole day of intense brainstorming by the guests, they delivered very valuable information to the public. Design not only brings people a more refined life, but also helps build a more livable city, thereby helping humans in major public health. When a crisis occurs, we can deal with it more calmly.
