如果建筑师和作家约翰·卡里（John Cary）的设想实现，女性就不再需要站在卫生间外排起长长的队伍。像这样的队伍其实反映了非常严肃的问题。卡里说道：设计缺乏多样性导致了欠缺考虑，冷淡的空间。设计有创造尊严的能力，让人们感受到价值，受尊重，荣耀和被认可，但另一面也真实存在。卡里呼吁建筑师和设计师扩宽队伍的多元性，致力于服务公众利益，而不仅是少数人。“精心设计的空间不仅事关品味和美学”。他还说道，“它们还塑造了我们在这个世界中，觉得我们是谁，我们值得拥有什么的观点”。我们都值得更好。

在几年前一个美妙的日子里，
00:15
my wife and I entered a hospital

2416
我和妻子来到
00:17
near our home in Oakland, California
2

1776
加州奥克兰离家不远的一家医院，
00:19
for the birth of our first daughter, Maya.

准备迎接我们第一个女儿
玛雅的出生。
玛雅的出生。
00:22
We had responsibly toured
the birthing center in advance

2656
我们早先已经参观过生育中心，
00:25
and yet we were somehow
still startled to find ourselves

5
13280
2936
可是我们仍然开始为
00:28
in the place where we would experience

将要在这个地方度过生命中
00:30
one of the most significant
moments of our lives.
moments of our lives.
7
18120
2520
最为重要的一个时刻而感到兴奋。
00:33
We were stuck in a windowless room
8
21280
2496
我们被困在一个没有窗户的房间里，
00:35
with no hint of the bright
and sunny day that we had left.
and sunny day that we had left.
9
23800

看不到任何光线
和外面晴朗天气的迹象。
和外面晴朗天气的迹象。
00:40
Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead,
10
28720
1680
头顶的荧光灯滋滋作响，
00:44
the paint on the walls was beige
11
32040
1800
墙上涂抹的是米黄色的墙漆，
00:47
and machines beeped inexplicably
12
35000
2416
机器莫名地哔哔声不绝，
00:49
as a wall clock indicated
day turning to night.
day turning to night.
13
37440
3000
墙上的钟表指示着日夜的流转。
00:53
That clock was placed above a door
14
41160
2336
挂在门上面的钟表
00:55
in direct line of sight
15
43520
1976
直对着
00:57
to where my wife lay as her contractions
increased hour after hour.
increased hour after hour.
16
45520
3760
宫缩不断增加的妻子躺下的地方。
01:02
Now, I've never given birth --
17
50320
1816
我没有生小孩的经验——
01:04
(Laughter)
18
52160
1016
（笑声）
01:05
but she assured me that the last thing
that a birthing woman would ever want
that a birthing woman would ever want
19
53200
4896
但她向我说，
作为一个孕妇最希望的是
作为一个孕妇最希望的是
01:10
is to watch the seconds tick by.
20
58120
2776
看到时间一秒一秒过去。
01:12
(Laughter)
21

（笑声）
01:15
An architect by training,
I've always been fascinated

22
63600
2496
作为一个训练有素的建筑师，
我总是着迷于
我总是着迷于
01:18
watching people experience design
in the world around them.
in the world around them.
23
66120
3016
观察人们体验周遭世界的设计。
01:21
I believe design functions
like the soundtrack
like the soundtrack
24
69160
2496
我坚信设计的功用就如同配乐，
01:23
that we're not even
fully aware is playing.
fully aware is playing.
25
71680
2160
我们往往都不会意识到它正在播放。
01:26
It sends us subconscious messages
about how to feel
about how to feel
26
74440
3576
它向我们传递着事关如何体验，
01:30
and what to expect.
27
78040
1360
以及有何预期的潜藏信息。
01:32
That room that we were in
seemed completely misaligned
seemed completely misaligned
28
80800
4016
我们所在的这个房间与我们
01:36
with the moment
that we were experiencing --
that we were experiencing --
29
84840
2936
正在经历的
01:39
welcoming a human being,
30
87800
1896
迎接一个人的诞生——
01:41
our daughter, into this world.
31
89720
2280
我的女儿，来到这个世界上
出现了明显的错位。
出现了明显的错位。
01:44
At one point a nurse, without any prompt,
32
92480
3016
有个护士，不经意地
01:47
turned to us and said,
33
95520
1656
转向我对我说，
01:49
"I always think to myself,
34
97200
1696
“我有时候想，
01:50
'I wish I had become an architect,
35
98920
1856
我真希望成为建筑师，
01:52
because I could have designed
rooms like this better.'"
rooms like this better.'"
36
100800
2976
这样我就可以把
这个房间设计得更好些。“
这个房间设计得更好些。“
01:55
I said to her,
37
103800
1216
我对她说道，
01:57
"An architect did design this room."
38
105040
2376
“的确是建筑师设计了这房子。”
01:59
(Laughter)
39
107440
2736
（笑）
02:02
Despite the immense joy
of our daughter's birth,
of our daughter's birth,
40
110200
3656
尽管女儿的出生
给我们带来无尽的喜悦，
给我们带来无尽的喜悦，
02:05
the messages of that hospital room
stick with she and I to this day.
stick with she and I to this day.
41
113880
6120
但医院产房所传递的信息
一直印在我和妻子的脑海中。
一直印在我和妻子的脑海中。
02:13
Those messages are,
42
121520
1296
那些信息在提醒你，
02:14
"You are not at home,
43
122840
1496
“你不是在家里，
02:16
you are in a foreign place."
44
124360
1816
你在一个陌生的地方。”
02:18
"You are not in control of anything.
45
126200
1815
“你无法控制任何事情，
02:20
Not even the lighting."
46
128039
1241
就连灯光也不受你控制。”
02:22
"Your comfort, simply, is secondary."
47
130360
3280
“你的舒适只是次要的。”
02:27
At best,
48
135720
1216
最好的情况是，
02:28
a hospital room like this
49
136960
1216
像医院产房这样的地方
02:30
might just be described
or dismissed as uninspiring.
or dismissed as uninspiring.
50
138200
2480
只是被视为令人沮丧的。
02:33
At worst, it is undignifying.
51
141600
2400
糟糕点，则是让人丧失尊严的。
02:37
And I use it to point out that none of us,
52
145200
2816
我想用这个案例来说明，
我们任何人，
我们任何人，
02:40
anywhere in the world,
53
148040
1576
无论在哪里，
02:41
are immune from bad design.
54
149640
2680
都无法摆脱糟糕设计的影响。
02:45
I went into architecture
because I believed
because I believed
55
153520
2616
我从事建筑行业，是因为我相信
02:48
it was about creating spaces for people
to live their best lives.
to live their best lives.
56
156160
5160
这是关于构筑人们
美好生活空间的工作。
美好生活空间的工作。
02:54
And yet what I found
is a profession largely disconnected
is a profession largely disconnected
57
162480
4136
然而我却发现专业性
02:58
from the people most directly
impacted by its work.
impacted by its work.
58
166640
4000
与人们从建筑中直接感受
的往往非常脱节。
的往往非常脱节。
03:04
I believe this is because
architecture remains
architecture remains
59
172240
3496
我认为这是因为，建筑仍然
03:07
a white, male, elitist profession --
60
175760
3320
是一个白人，男性，精英的职业——
03:11
seemingly unconcerned
61
179560
1856
对世界上最重要的需求，
03:13
with some of the greatest
needs in the world
needs in the world
62
181440
2776
或者一个产妇简单的需求
03:16
or even the relatively simple needs
of an expectant mother.
of an expectant mother.
63
184240
4280
基本上是漠不关心的。
03:22
Students are trained in school
64
190040
2056
学生在学校
03:24
using highly theoretical projects,
65
192120
2296
接受的是非常理论化的训练，
03:26
rarely interacting with real people
or actual communities.
or actual communities.
66
194440
3696
很少与真实世界中
的人或社群接触。
的人或社群接触。
03:30
Graduates are funneled
through a long, narrow
through a long, narrow
67
198160
2816
毕业生只能通过一条又长又窄，
03:33
unforgiving path to licensure.
68
201000
2296
且不容许任何闪失
的路径来取得文凭。
的路径来取得文凭。
03:35
Meanwhile, the profession
holds up a select few
holds up a select few
69
203320
2856
与此同时，专业领域
03:38
through relentless award programs
70
206200
1976
举办的少数奖项，
03:40
focused almost exclusively
on the aesthetics of buildings,
on the aesthetics of buildings,
71
208200
3936
仅聚焦于建筑的美学，
03:44
rather than the societal impact
or contributions of them.
or contributions of them.
72
212160
3200
而非建筑的社交影响和贡献。
03:48
It only goes to reinforce a warped view
73
216360
2656
这些只是进一步扭曲了
03:51
of professional responsibility and success
74
219040
3136
职业责任和成功的观点，
03:54
and yet this isn't
why so many young, hopeful people
why so many young, hopeful people
75
222200
3776
然而这些并不是
很多满怀憧憬的年轻人
很多满怀憧憬的年轻人
03:58
go into architecture.
76
226000
1240
从事建筑行业的原因。
03:59
It's not why I did.
77
227720
1816
这不是我想要的。
04:01
I believed then, though I didn't
have a language for it,
have a language for it,
78
229560
3456
那时候，我并没有
合适的词来形容这个行业，
合适的词来形容这个行业，
04:05
and I know now, that design
has a unique ability to dignify.
has a unique ability to dignify.
79
233040
4960
但我现在知道了，
设计有构建尊严的独特能力。
设计有构建尊严的独特能力。
04:10
It can make people feel valued,
80
238520
2296
它可以让人们感到被珍视，
04:12
respected,
81
240840
1256
受尊重，
04:14
honored and seen.
82
242120
1640
和被认可。
04:18
Now I'd like for you to just think
about some of the spaces that you inhabit.
about some of the spaces that you inhabit.
83
246360
4600
现在我想让你们去想想
你们所居住的空间。
你们所居住的空间。
04:23
And I'd like to have you think
about how they make you feel.
about how they make you feel.
84
251520
3520
我想让你们去想想
你对它们的感觉。
你对它们的感觉。
04:28
Now, there are places
that make us feel unhappy,
that make us feel unhappy,
85
256079
4577
这些地方多半让我们感到不开心，
04:32
unhealthy
86
260680
1576
不健康
04:34
or uninspiring.
87
262280
1240
或者无法让人振奋。
04:36
They may be the places that you work
88
264080
2976
它们可能是你们工作的地方，
04:39
or where you heal
89
267080
1200
是你接受治疗的场所，
04:41
or even where you live.
90
269040
1240
或是你生活的地方。
04:43
And I ask, how might these places
be better designed with you in mind?
be better designed with you in mind?
91
271160
4600
我要问，你们觉得这些地方
还可以如何更好地设计下？
还可以如何更好地设计下？
04:48
It's a really simple question
92
276320
1416
这是一个非常简单的问题，
04:49
and it can somehow, sometimes
be very difficult to answer.
be very difficult to answer.
93
277760
2840
但有时候还真挺难回答。
04:53
Because we are conditioned
to feel like we don't have much agency
to feel like we don't have much agency
94
281200
3096
因为我们习惯于不过多
04:56
over the spaces and places
that we live, work and play.
that we live, work and play.
95
284320
3096
关注我们生活、工作、
玩耍的空间和场所。
玩耍的空间和场所。
04:59
And in many cases we don't.
96
287440
1840
很多时候我们完全不关心。
05:01
But we all should.
97
289880
1280
但我们应该这样做。
05:04
Now, here's a potentially dumb question
for any women watching:
for any women watching:
98
292040
3120
我想在这里向现场的女性
提一个很愚蠢的问题：
提一个很愚蠢的问题：
05:07
Have you ever stood
99
295960
1256
你们有没有
05:09
in a disproportionately long
bathroom line?
bathroom line?
100
297240
2696
在小小卫生间前排过长长的队伍？
05:11
(Laughter)
101
299960
1496
（笑声）
05:13
Did you ever think to yourself,
"What is wrong with this picture?"
"What is wrong with this picture?"
102
301480
3416
你们有没有问过自己，
这场面出了什么问题？
这场面出了什么问题？
05:16
Well, what if the real question is,
103
304920
1976
实际上，这个问题应该这样问：
05:18
"What is wrong with the men
that designed these bathrooms?"
that designed these bathrooms?"
104
306920
3456
“设计这个卫生间
的男人们有什么问题？”
的男人们有什么问题？”
05:22
(Applause)
105
310400
5896
（鼓掌）
05:28
It may seem like a small thing,
106
316320
1616
这看起来也许只是件小事，
05:29
but it's representative
of a much more serious issue.
of a much more serious issue.
107
317960
2720
却反映了一个非常严肃的问题。
05:33
The contemporary world
was literally built by men
was literally built by men
108
321480
4496
当代世界主要是男性建造的，
05:38
who have rarely
taken the time to understand
taken the time to understand
109
326000
3096
这些人很少花时间去理解
05:41
how people unlike them
110
329120
2296
跟他们不一样的人
05:43
experience their designs.
111
331440
2296
如何体验他们的设计。
05:45
A long bathroom line
might seem like a minor indignity.
might seem like a minor indignity.
112
333760
3056
卫生间外的长队看来
只是轻微的有伤尊严。
只是轻微的有伤尊严。
05:48
But the opposite can also be true.
113
336840
1976
但另一面也许是真的，
05:50
Thoughtful design
can make people feel respected
can make people feel respected
114
338840
3696
考虑周到的设计能够
让人们感受到尊重
让人们感受到尊重
05:54
and seen.
115
342560
1200
和被认可。
05:56
I've come to believe
that dignity is to design
that dignity is to design
116
344400
3496
我认为尊严对于设计
05:59
what justice is to law
117
347920
2176
就如公正对于法律，
06:02
and health is to medicine.
118
350120
1840
健康对于医学，
06:04
In the simplest of terms,
119
352840
1256
用最简单的话说，
06:06
it's about having the spaces you inhabit
reflect back your value.
reflect back your value.
120
354120
4480
它是关于让居住空间反映你的价值。
06:12
Over the past two years
121
360600
1576
在过去两年，
06:14
I had the opportunity to interview
over 100 people from all walks of life
over 100 people from all walks of life
122
362200
4616
我有机会访谈超过100个人，
06:18
about their experience of design.
123
366840
2336
关于他们如何体验设计。
06:21
I wanted to test my hunch
124
369200
2216
我想要测试我的预感，
06:23
that dignity and design
are uniquely related.
are uniquely related.
125
371440
2840
即尊严和设计有特殊的联系。
06:27
I listened to Gregory,
126
375240
1496
我倾听了格雷戈里，
06:28
a resident of this cottage community
127
376760
2216
一名住在平房社区的居民，
06:31
designed specifically

for the 50 most chronically
homeless people in Dallas.

129
380840

达拉斯50位无家可归的人们所设计。
06:36
Gregory had been living on the streets,
130
384720
2736
格雷戈里一直住在这些街区，
06:39
drifting from town to town
for over 30 years.
for over 30 years.
131
387480
3880
在城镇之间飘荡了超过30年。
06:44
A broad coalition

1480
一个广泛联合了
06:46
of social service agencies,
133
394320
1856
社会服务机构，
06:48
funders and designers,
134
396200
1416
资助者和设计师的组织
06:49
created this place.
135
397640

创建了这个地方。
06:53
Each 400 square foot cottage
is designed beautifully

4136
每一座400平方英尺的居家小屋
06:57
as a permanent home.
137
405360
1200
都设计得很漂亮。
06:59
Gregory now has a key
138
407600
2416
格雷戈里现在拥有了
07:02

139
410040
1456
他家

He describes the sense
of security that it brings him.

Something he had lived without

这种他已经失去30年的东西。

When he arrived with little more

当他背包入住时，
07:15
he found everything:

1456
他发现了齐全的生活用品：
07:17
from a toaster, Crock-Pot and stove
145
425200
3576
从烤面包机、慢炖锅和炉子
07:20
to a toothbrush and toothpaste
awaiting for him.

到牙刷和牙膏都在等候他。
07:25
He describes it simply

他对这一切的描述非常简单，
07:27
as heaven.
148
435840
1200
犹如天堂。
07:30
On the other side of the world,
149
438680
1640
在世界的另一边，
07:33
I listened to Antoinette,
150
441360
1656
我听了安托瓦内特的故事，
07:35
the director of this

她是这座为卢旺达的妇女提供的

培训和社区中心的主管。
07:40
Hundreds of women
come to this place daily --

153
448320
3496
成百上千的妇女每天来到这地方
07:43
to learn new skills,
154
451840
1776
学习新技能，
07:45
be in community,
155
453640
1376
成为社区的一员，
07:47
and continue rebuilding their lives
156
455040
1856
在这个国家的内战后
07:48
following the country's civil war.
157
456920
1720
继续重建她们的生活。
07:51
These women literally pressed
158
459200
2856
这些妇女
07:54
the 500,000 bricks
159
462080

压制了50万块转头，
07:57
that make up the 17
classroom pavilions like this one.
classroom pavilions like this one.
160
465160
3840
建造了17个像这样的教室展馆。
08:01
Antoinette told me,
161
469920
1456
安托瓦内特告诉我，
08:03
"Everyone is so proud of it."
162
471400
2680
”每个人都为之自豪“。
08:07
And then back here in the US
163
475200
2176
再回到美国，
08:09
I listened to Monika,
164
477400
1656
我倾听了莫妮卡的讲述，
08:11
the director of a free clinic

她是一家主要为

08:17
Monika loves telling me that the doctors,
167
485720
3376
莫妮卡告诉我那些自愿来这
08:21
who volunteer at her free clinic
168
489120
2536
提供免费诊疗的医生
08:23
routinely tell her
169
491680
2296
不时告诉她，
08:26
that they've never worked
in such a beautiful, light-filled place.

170

4280
他们从没有在如此
美丽，明亮的场所工作过。
美丽，明亮的场所工作过。
08:31
Monika believes
171
499320
1616
莫妮卡相信，
08:32
that even people experiencing poverty
172
500960
2056
即便是贫穷的人
08:35
deserve quality health care.
173
503040
2496
也值得享受高质量的医疗服务。
08:37
And what's more,
174
505560
1296
而且，
08:38
she believes they deserve
to receive that care
to receive that care
175
506880
3416
她相信他们值得接受
08:42
in a dignified setting.
176
510320
1520
有尊严的治疗。
08:44
People like these are invaluable
ambassadors for design
ambassadors for design
177
512640
3776
这些人都是无价的设计大使，
08:48
and yet they are roundly absent
from architectural discourse.
from architectural discourse.
178
516440
3840
但他们并不存在于建筑的话语中。
08:53
Similarly, the people who can
most benefit from good design
most benefit from good design
179
521120
4136
同样，最能从好设计中获益的人
08:57
often have the least access to it.
180
525280
2320
往往却几乎接触不到这些设计。
09:00
Your cousin, a homeless veteran;
181
528480
2016
你的堂兄，一个无家可归的老兵；
09:02
your grandma or grandpa

你的祖父祖母，
09:04
who live in a house with a kitchen
that's no longer accessible to them;

185

住在没有人行道规划的郊区。
09:14
If good design
is only for a privileged few,
is only for a privileged few,
186
542240
3576
如果好的设计仅是少数人的特权，
09:17
what good is it?
187
545840
1320
它又好在哪里呢？
09:20
It's time designers change this
188
548320
3456
设计师是时候改变这些了，
09:23
by dedicating their practices
to the public good
to the public good
189
551800
3136
他们应该把自己的实践贡献给
09:26
in the model of firms
190
554960
1736
公司模式中的公共利益，
09:28
like Orkidstudio,

芝加哥的寄养儿童
09:40
and pregnant women in Malawi.
197
568280
1920
和马拉维的孕妇。
09:42
Their practices are premised on the belief
198
570960
3536
他们的实践基于这个信念：
09:46
that everyone deserves good design.
199
574520
4840
每个人都值得拥有好的设计。
09:52
Dedicating more practices
to the public good
to the public good
200
580400
2256
致力于为公众利益贡献更多实践，
09:54
will not only create
more design that is dignifying,
more design that is dignifying,
201
582680
3936
他们不仅创造了更多有尊严的设计，
09:58
but it will also
dignify the practice of design.
dignify the practice of design.
202
586640
3520
也让设计本身变得有尊严。
10:02
It will not only diversify
the client base of design,
the client base of design,
203
590720
3296
它不仅使设计的客户基础多元化，
10:06
but it will also create new,
more diverse forms of design
more diverse forms of design
204
594040
4456
也为世界创造了
更多新的，多元化的
更多新的，多元化的
10:10
for the world.
205
598520
1200
设计样式。
10:13
Now, in order to do this,
206
601560
2416
要实现这点，
10:16
my architecture and design friends,
especially my fellow white guys,

207

we must simultaneously

我们必须同时且显著地
提升我们队伍的多元化。
提升我们队伍的多元化。
10:25
If we want the public to believe
that design is for them
that design is for them
209
613000
3216
如果我们想要公众相信，
设计是为了他们，
设计是为了他们，
10:28
and for everyone.
210
616240
1376
为每一个人。
10:29
Today, barely 15 percent

今天，只有15%
10:32
of registered architects
in the United States are women.

10:35
And a far smaller percentage
are persons of color.

213
623200
3120
有色人种的比例就更小了。
10:39
Other professions, like law and medicine

627760
2096
其他职业，如法律和医疗，
10:41
had made far greater strides
in these crucial areas.

215
629880
3200
在这些关键领域都有长足的进步。
10:45
How might our shared built environment --

633840
2056
我们共同拥有的环境——
10:47
our homes, our hospitals,
our schools, our public spaces --
our schools, our public spaces --
217
635920
3856
如果女性和有色人种
10:51
be shaped differently
218
639800
1256
占比远小于一半，
10:53
if women and people of color
219
641080
1376
我们的家园，医院，
学校和公众场所
学校和公众场所
10:54
were behind half
of the proverbial blueprints?
of the proverbial blueprints?
220
642480
2656
如何得以不同？
10:57
It is not a question of whether,
221
645160
2096
这不是是与否的问题，
10:59
but to what extent
222
647280
1696
而是在多大程度上，
11:01
our buildings, our landscapes,
223
649000
2456
由于女性和有色人种较少参与其中，
11:03
our cities and our rural communities
224
651480
2536
我们的建筑，我们的景观，
11:06
are less beautiful, less functional,
225
654040
3136
我们的城市和我们的乡村，
11:09
less equitable and less dignifying
226
657200
2656
会少一些美观，少一些功用，
11:11
because women and people of color
are less likely to be creating them.
are less likely to be creating them.
227
659880
4200
会少一些公平，少一些尊严？
11:16
As Winston Churchill
famously noted in 1943
famously noted in 1943
228
664880
3176
正如战后伦敦议会两院的重建时，
11:20
when he called for the rebuilding

668080
1616
温斯顿·丘吉尔在1943年
呼吁时所说的，
呼吁时所说的，
11:21
of London's war-damaged
parliamentary chambers,

230
669720
2696
战后伦敦议会两院的重建时，
11:24
"We shape our buildings,
and afterward, they shape us."
and afterward, they shape us."
231
672440
4760
“我们塑造了建筑，而建筑
反过来也塑造了我们。”
反过来也塑造了我们。”
11:30
The good news is
that we can change how we build
that we can change how we build
232
678520
3416
好消息是，我们可以改变
打造建筑的方式
打造建筑的方式
11:33
and who we build for.
233
681960
1696
以及我们所服务的对象，
11:35
Be that a health worker in rural Rwanda,
234
683680
3056
如卢旺达农村的卫生工作者，
11:38
or a birthing mother and nervous
new father in the United States.
new father in the United States.
235
686760
3840
或者在美国生育的母亲和紧张的父亲。
11:43
We can do this
by recommitting architecture
by recommitting architecture
236
691160
2456
我们可以通过重申建筑服务于
11:45
to the health, safety
and welfare of the public.
and welfare of the public.
237
693640
3720
公众的健康，安全和福利来实现。
11:49
This will pay dividends.
238
697960
1896
这会带来好处。
11:51
Because once you see what design can do,
239
699880
2856
因为一旦你看到了建筑的功效，
11:54
you can't unsee it.
240
702760
1280
你就不能无视它。
11:56
And once you experience dignity,
241
704720
2336
而一旦你体验了尊严，
11:59
you can't accept anything less.
242
707080
2576
你就无法接受让人有失颜面的东西。
12:01
Both become part of your possible.
243
709680
2120
两者都成为你可能的一部分。
12:04
One of my favorite conversation partners

12:14
she wrote me a letter.
247
722280
1296
她给我写了一封信。
12:15
She said, "Dear Johnny,

去看看谁应该为这里的乏味负责。”
12:30
(Laughter)
255
738600
2136
（笑声）
12:32
In the same letter, mind you, she said,
256
740760
1896
在同样的信件中，她说道，
12:34
"I did call, and I got the man in charge,

（笑声）
12:44
She signed it by saying,

她字里行间都在表明，

"It is always good

2056
“表达观点永远都是有益的，

12:58
Like my grandma Audrey,
268
766000
1776
跟我奶奶奥黛丽一样，
12:59
you deserve good design.
269
767800
3456
你们都值得好的设计。
13:03
Because well-designed spaces

因为精心设计的空间
13:05
are not just a matter of taste

13:08
They literally shape our ideas

272
776560
3496
它们还够塑造了我们
在这个世界中如何定义自己，
在这个世界中如何定义自己，
13:12
and what we deserve.
273
780080
1400
我们值得拥有什么的观点。
13:14
That is the essence of dignity.
274
782080
2416
这就是尊严的本质。
13:16
And both the opportunity
and the responsibility of design
and the responsibility of design
275
784520

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
John Cary - Design ambassadorAn architect by training, John Cary has devoted his career to expanding the practice of design for the public good.
Why you should listen
When architect-turned-writer John Cary co-authored an oped, with partner Courtney E. Martin, on the design failures of the breast pump, it sparked an MIT Media Lab hackathon and the launch of multiple companies. It's a perfect example of his knack for linking good design and public good. He is the author of two books, most recently Design for Good: A New Era of Architecture for Everyone, and his writing on design, philanthropy and fatherhood is widely published.
Cary works as a philanthropic advisor to an array of foundations and nonprofits around the world, and he frequently curates and hosts events for the Aspen Institute, TED and other entities. Deeply committed to diversifying the public stage, Cary is also a founding partner in FRESH Speakers, a next-generation speakers bureau that represents young women and people of color.
