約翰・嘉里是位建築師也是作家。如果實現他的理念，女人就不必再排長隊等著上廁所。嘉里說：「缺乏多樣性的設計導致空間缺乏體貼度也不人性化。」設計有種獨特力量，能帶給使用者價值、尊嚴、榮耀與可見度，但也能衍生負面影響。約翰呼籲建築師與設計師擴大個人層次，應為公眾服務，別只在乎少數特權者。他也說：「好的設計空間不僅牽涉品味與美學，甚至直接地塑造人們的人生觀與價值觀，而我們都值得更好的設計。」

On a beautiful day, just a few years ago

幾年前，風和日麗的一天，
我和我太太前往一家醫院，
00:15
my wife and I entered a hospital
1
3480
2416
在我們家附近，位於加州奧克蘭，
00:17
near our home in Oakland, California
2
5920
1776
00:19
for the birth of our first daughter, Maya.
3

2240
去迎接我們的第一個女兒
瑪雅的出生。
瑪雅的出生。
00:22
We had responsibly toured
the birthing center in advance
the birthing center in advance
4
10600
2656
我們事先參觀了分娩中心，
00:25
and yet we were somehow
still startled to find ourselves
still startled to find ourselves
5
13280
2936
但是我倆仍驚訝地感到不真實
00:28
in the place where we would experience
6
16239
1857
我們即將在這裡
00:30
one of the most significant
moments of our lives.
moments of our lives.
7
18120
2520
經歷生命中最重要的時刻之一。
00:33
We were stuck in a windowless room
8
21280
2496
我們被安排在一個無窗的房間裡，
00:35
with no hint of the bright
and sunny day that we had left.
and sunny day that we had left.
9
23800
3400
完全感受不到我們入住時的好天氣。
00:40
Fluorescent lights buzzed overhead,
10
28720
1680
日光燈在頭頂上嗡嗡作響，
00:44
the paint on the walls was beige
11
32040
1800
牆上的油漆是米色的，
00:47
and machines beeped inexplicably
12
35000
2416
設備還莫名地嗶嗶作響，
00:49
as a wall clock indicated
day turning to night.
day turning to night.
13
37440
3000
壁鐘顯示時間的流逝，
白天轉為黑夜。
白天轉為黑夜。
00:53
That clock was placed above a door
14
41160
2336
那個鐘掛在門的上方，
00:55
in direct line of sight
15
43520
1976
正對著我太太。
00:57
to where my wife lay as her contractions
increased hour after hour.
increased hour after hour.
16
45520
3760
她躺在床上，經歷為時數小時
愈來愈強的收縮疼痛。
愈來愈強的收縮疼痛。
01:02
Now, I've never given birth --
17
50320
1816
當然我沒生過小孩──
01:04
(Laughter)
18
52160
1016
（笑聲）
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
那時她向我保證，
產婦最不想要的
產婦最不想要的
01:10
is to watch the seconds tick by.
20
58120
2776
就是看著分秒緩慢流逝。
01:12
(Laughter)
21
60920
1840
（笑聲）
01:15
An architect by training,
I've always been fascinated
I've always been fascinated
22
63600
2496
身為專業的建築師，
我總著迷地看著
我總著迷地看著
01:18
watching people experience design
in the world around them.
in the world around them.
23
66120
3016
人們體驗日常生活中
環繞著他們的設計。
環繞著他們的設計。
01:21
I believe design functions
like the soundtrack
like the soundtrack
24
69160
2496
我相信設計的功能就像原聲帶，
01:23
that we're not even
fully aware is playing.
fully aware is playing.
25
71680
2160
人們甚至沒察覺它的存在。
01:26
It sends us subconscious messages
about how to feel
about how to feel
26
74440
3576
但它會在我們的潛意識裡
留下感受和期許。
01:30
and what to expect.
27
78040
1360
01:32
That room that we were in
seemed completely misaligned
seemed completely misaligned
28
80800
4016
當時我們待的房間
似乎與我們所經歷的那一刻
完全錯位──
完全錯位──
01:36
with the moment
that we were experiencing --
that we were experiencing --
29
84840
2936
當時我們在迎接一個人──
01:39
welcoming a human being,
30
87800
1896
01:41
our daughter, into this world.
31
89720
2280
我們的女兒──走進這個世界。
01:44
At one point a nurse, without any prompt,
32
92480
3016
那時有位護士突然間
01:47
turned to us and said,
33
95520
1656
對著我們說
01:49
"I always think to myself,
34
97200
1696
「我一直有個想法，
01:50
'I wish I had become an architect,
35
98920
1856
真希望我是建築設計師，
01:52
because I could have designed
rooms like this better.'"
rooms like this better.'"
36
100800
2976
因為我能設計出比這更好的房間。」
01:55
I said to her,
37
103800
1216
那時，我跟她說，
01:57
"An architect did design this room."
38
105040
2376
「這房間是出自設計師之手啊。」
01:59
(Laughter)
39
107440
2736
（笑聲）
02:02
Despite the immense joy
of our daughter's birth,
of our daughter's birth,
40
110200
3656
雖然女兒的誕生
帶給我倆莫大的喜悅，
帶給我倆莫大的喜悅，
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
至今我們仍記得待在那病房的感受。
02:13
Those messages are,
42
121520
1296
那時的感受是，
02:14
"You are not at home,
43
122840
1496
「這不是家，
02:16
you are in a foreign place."
44
124360
1816
你是在一個陌生環境。」
02:18
"You are not in control of anything.
45
126200
1815
「你無法掌控任何事，
02:20
Not even the lighting."
46
128039
1241
連燈光你也不能動。」
02:22
"Your comfort, simply, is secondary."
47
130360
3280
「你的舒適感是次要的。」
02:27
At best,
48
135720
1216
說好聽一點，
02:28
a hospital room like this
49
136960
1216
像這類的病房
02:30
might just be described
or dismissed as uninspiring.
or dismissed as uninspiring.
50
138200
2480
只能被形容為平淡無奇。
02:33
At worst, it is undignifying.
51
141600
2400
講難聽一點，
這設計無法讓使用者覺得被尊重。
這設計無法讓使用者覺得被尊重。
02:37
And I use it to point out that none of us,
52
145200
2816
我想用這例子點出：
沒有人，不論來自哪裡，
02:40
anywhere in the world,
53
148040
1576
02:41
are immune from bad design.
54
149640
2680
會對爛設計無感。
02:45
I went into architecture
because I believed
because I believed
55
153520
2616
當初我學建築是因為我相信
02:48
it was about creating spaces for people
to live their best lives.
to live their best lives.
56
156160
5160
我能夠為人們創造最棒的生活空間。
02:54
And yet what I found
is a profession largely disconnected
is a profession largely disconnected
57
162480
4136
但我卻發現設計這個行業
02:58
from the people most directly
impacted by its work.
impacted by its work.
58
166640
4000
幾乎與被他們的設計
影響最大的人們脫鉤。
影響最大的人們脫鉤。
03:04
I believe this is because
architecture remains
architecture remains
59
172240
3496
我想這是因為建築業還殘留著
03:07
a white, male, elitist profession --
60
175760
3320
白人觀點、男性思想、菁英主義⋯⋯
03:11
seemingly unconcerned
61
179560
1856
覺得其他事情都不重要。
03:13
with some of the greatest
needs in the world
needs in the world
62
181440
2776
他們不關心這世上
一些最重要的需求，
一些最重要的需求，
03:16
or even the relatively simple needs
of an expectant mother.
of an expectant mother.
63
184240
4280
甚至一位準媽媽的小小心願。
03:22
Students are trained in school
64
190040
2056
建築系學生在學校接受的訓練
是基於高度理論的方案，
03:24
using highly theoretical projects,
65
192120
2296
03:26
rarely interacting with real people
or actual communities.
or actual communities.
66
194440
3696
極少接觸到實際的人物或團體。
03:30
Graduates are funneled
through a long, narrow
through a long, narrow
67
198160
2816
畢業生們歷經層層關卡，
03:33
unforgiving path to licensure.
68
201000
2296
才能取得專業證照。
03:35
Meanwhile, the profession
holds up a select few
holds up a select few
69
203320
2856
同時，少數菁英也被
03:38
through relentless award programs
70
206200
1976
很殘酷的設計競賽所綁住，
03:40
focused almost exclusively
on the aesthetics of buildings,
on the aesthetics of buildings,
71
208200
3936
因為這些競賽幾乎
只專注於作品的美感，
只專注於作品的美感，
03:44
rather than the societal impact
or contributions of them.
or contributions of them.
72
212160
3200
而不是帶給社會影響力或貢獻。
03:48
It only goes to reinforce a warped view
73
216360
2656
這種情況加重價值觀的扭曲，
03:51
of professional responsibility and success
74
219040
3136
只追求專業責任與成功。
03:54
and yet this isn't
why so many young, hopeful people
why so many young, hopeful people
75
222200
3776
但這不是眾多前途似錦的年輕人
投入建築界的原因。
03:58
go into architecture.
76
226000
1240
03:59
It's not why I did.
77
227720
1816
那不是我入此行的理由。
04:01
I believed then, though I didn't
have a language for it,
have a language for it,
78
229560
3456
雖然難以言喻，
但我從那時直到今日都深信
但我從那時直到今日都深信
04:05
and I know now, that design
has a unique ability to dignify.
has a unique ability to dignify.
79
233040
4960
設計能獨特地建立使用者的尊嚴。
04:10
It can make people feel valued,
80
238520
2296
它能讓人們感受到個人價值、
04:12
respected,
81
240840
1256
被尊重、
榮耀感與被看見。
04:14
honored and seen.
82
242120
1640
現在，請你們想想你的居住空間。
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
並想想你對那些空間的感受。
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
04:28
Now, there are places
that make us feel unhappy,
that make us feel unhappy,
85
256079
4577
有些地方讓我們覺得不開心、
不健康
04:32
unhealthy
86
260680
1576
或者無趣。
04:34
or uninspiring.
87
262280
1240
04:36
They may be the places that you work
88
264080
2976
也許是你的辦公空間，
04:39
or where you heal
89
267080
1200
或是你療癒的地方，
或是你的住所。
04:41
or even where you live.
90
269040
1240
我想問，這些地方如果
有考慮到你會不會設計得更好？
有考慮到你會不會設計得更好？
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
這問題很簡單，
04:48
It's a really simple question
92
276320
1416
04:49
and it can somehow, sometimes
be very difficult to answer.
be very difficult to answer.
93
277760
2840
卻有時也最難回答。
因為我們已習慣性地
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
認為我們無權改變
我們的生活、工作和遊樂的地方。
我們的生活、工作和遊樂的地方。
04:56
over the spaces and places
that we live, work and play.
that we live, work and play.
95
284320
3096
多數的情形是我們的確沒有。
04:59
And in many cases we don't.
96
287440
1840
但我們應該要有才對。
05:01
But we all should.
97
289880
1280
接下來，容我問女性觀眾一個蠢問題：
05:04
Now, here's a potentially dumb question
for any women watching:
for any women watching:
98
292040
3120
妳們是否曾經排過
不成比例的長的隊伍，
不成比例的長的隊伍，
05:07
Have you ever stood
99
295960
1256
05:09
in a disproportionately long
bathroom line?
bathroom line?
100
297240
2696
就只是為了上廁所？
05:11
(Laughter)
101
299960
1496
（笑聲）
05:13
Did you ever think to yourself,
"What is wrong with this picture?"
"What is wrong with this picture?"
102
301480
3416
你是不是也覺得這很扯？
好吧，如果真正的問題是：
05:16
Well, what if the real question is,
103
304920
1976
「設計這些廁所的男人
是不是有問題？」
是不是有問題？」
05:18
"What is wrong with the men
that designed these bathrooms?"
that designed these bathrooms?"
104
306920
3456
05:22
(Applause)
105
310400
5896
（掌聲）
雖然看似一件小事，
05:28
It may seem like a small thing,
106
316320
1616
05:29
but it's representative
of a much more serious issue.
of a much more serious issue.
107
317960
2720
但它代表了很嚴重的議題。
05:33
The contemporary world
was literally built by men
was literally built by men
108
321480
4496
現代社會幾乎是由男性建造的。
05:38
who have rarely
taken the time to understand
taken the time to understand
109
326000
3096
他們極少花時間在
了解與他們不同的群體
05:41
how people unlike them
110
329120
2296
對他們的作品的體驗。
05:43
experience their designs.
111
331440
2296
05:45
A long bathroom line
might seem like a minor indignity.
might seem like a minor indignity.
112
333760
3056
廁所前的長龍也許是
很微小的不尊嚴。
很微小的不尊嚴。
但反之亦然。
05:48
But the opposite can also be true.
113
336840
1976
05:50
Thoughtful design
can make people feel respected
can make people feel respected
114
338840
3696
體貼設計使人們感到被尊重、
被看到。
05:54
and seen.
115
342560
1200
05:56
I've come to believe
that dignity is to design
that dignity is to design
116
344400
3496
我發現尊嚴對設計而言，
就像正義之於法律，
05:59
what justice is to law
117
347920
2176
健康之於醫療。
06:02
and health is to medicine.
118
350120
1840
簡而言之，
06:04
In the simplest of terms,
119
352840
1256
06:06
it's about having the spaces you inhabit
reflect back your value.
reflect back your value.
120
354120
4480
就是使你居住的空間
反映出你的價值。
反映出你的價值。
在過去兩年來，
06:12
Over the past two years
121
360600
1576
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
我採訪了 100 名以上
各行業的民眾，
各行業的民眾，
以了解他們對於設計的經驗。
06:18
about their experience of design.
123
366840
2336
06:21
I wanted to test my hunch
124
369200
2216
我想要印證我的直覺，
06:23
that dignity and design
are uniquely related.
are uniquely related.
125
371440
2840
那就是尊嚴和設計息息相關。
受訪者之一的格里高利，
06:27
I listened to Gregory,

06:39
drifting from town to town
for over 30 years.

131
387480
3880
這社區是由
06:44
A broad coalition

of social service agencies,

社會服務機構、

捐款者與設計師們
所組成的聯盟所創立的。

Each 400 square foot cottage

Gregory now has a key

He describes the sense

07:15
he found everything:
144
423720
1456
卻在小屋裡找到所有物品：
07:17
from a toaster, Crock-Pot and stove
145
425200
3576
從烤土司機、燉鍋、火爐
到牙刷、牙膏都為他準備齊全。

他形容這小屋
07:25
He describes it simply
147
433040

簡直是天堂。
07:27
as heaven.
148

在世界的另一邊，
07:30
On the other side of the world,
149

1640
我採訪了瑪莉安東尼，
07:33
I listened to Antoinette,

07:35
the director of this
training and community center

該中心支援住在盧安達鄉間的女性。

152

2416
07:40
Hundreds of women
come to this place daily --

153
448320
3496
每天都有數百名女人來這裡
07:43
to learn new skills,
154
451840
1776
學習新技能、
07:45
be in community,
155
453640
1376
融入社群，
07:47
and continue rebuilding their lives
156
455040
1856
並在這國經歷內戰後
重建她們的生活。
07:48
following the country's civil war.
157
456920
1720
07:51
These women literally pressed
158
459200
2856
這些婦女親手
砌了50 萬塊磚，
07:54
the 500,000 bricks
159
462080
3056
來搭建 17 間像這樣的
做為教室的空間。

安東尼告訴我，
08:01
Antoinette told me,
161
469920
1456
08:03
"Everyone is so proud of it."
162
471400
2680
「大家都感到很自豪。」
在美國這裏，
08:07
And then back here in the US
163
475200
2176
我認識了莫尼卡，
08:09
I listened to Monika,
164
477400
1656
她的診所

166
481400
3480
莫尼卡很愛對我說，
08:17
Monika loves telling me that the doctors,
167
485720
3376
在她的診所義診的醫生們
08:21
who volunteer at her free clinic
168
489120
2536
08:23
routinely tell her
169
491680
2296
經常告訴她
08:26
that they've never worked
in such a beautiful, light-filled place.
in such a beautiful, light-filled place.
170
494000
4280
他們從來沒有在如此美麗
又光線充足的環境工作過。
又光線充足的環境工作過。
莫尼卡相信，
08:31
Monika believes
171
499320
1616
即使是窮人，
08:32
that even people experiencing poverty
172
500960
2056
也值得擁有高品質的醫療照顧。
08:35
deserve quality health care.
173
503040
2496
並且，
08:37
And what's more,
174
505560
1296
她相信他們也應該
在受尊重的環境下
在受尊重的環境下
08:38
she believes they deserve

175
506880
3416
接受照護。
08:42
in a dignified setting.
176
510320
1520
這些人都是極為珍貴的
好設計代言人，
好設計代言人，
08:44
People like these are invaluable
ambassadors for design

177
512640

雖然他們完全沒上過建築課程。
08:48
and yet they are roundly absent
from architectural discourse.
from architectural discourse.
178
516440
3840
同樣地，迫切需要好設計的人
08:53
Similarly, the people who can
most benefit from good design
most benefit from good design
179
521120
4136
通常擁有最少的資源。
08:57
often have the least access to it.
180
525280
2320
像是退伍後無處可去的表親；
09:00
Your cousin, a homeless veteran;
181
528480
2016
你的爺爺奶奶，
09:02
your grandma or grandpa
182
530520
1576
他們家的廚房設計已不符需求；
09:04
who live in a house with a kitchen
that's no longer accessible to them;
that's no longer accessible to them;
183
532120

你的坐輪椅的姐妹
09:07

住在附近沒有人行道郊區。
09:09
in a suburban area
planned without sidewalks.

185
537360
3800
如果好設計只鎖定給優勢族群，
09:14
If good design
is only for a privileged few,
is only for a privileged few,
186
542240
3576
09:17
what good is it?
187
545840
1320
那還算「好」嗎？
09:20
It's time designers change this
188
548320
3456
是設計師們改變這種現象的時候了。
藉由將實務經驗付諸公共事務，
09:23
by dedicating their practices
to the public good
to the public good
189
551800
3136
向模範企業學習。
09:26
in the model of firms
190

1736
例如：Orkidstudio，
09:28
like Orkidstudio,
191

1696
Studio Gang，
09:30

還有 MASS Design Group。

193
559880
1856
他們服務的對象
09:33
Their clients
194
561760
1376
09:35
are orphaned children in Kenya,
195
563160
2576
是肯亞的孤兒，
芝加哥的寄養兒童，
09:37
foster children in Chicago
196
565760
2496
還有馬拉威的孕婦們。
09:40
and pregnant women in Malawi.
197
568280
1920
09:42
Their practices are premised on the belief
198
570960
3536
他們行動背後的團隊信念是：
「每個人都值得好設計。」
09:46
that everyone deserves good design.
199
574520
4840
將實戰經驗投入公共設計，
09:52
Dedicating more practices
to the public good
to the public good
200
580400
2256
09:54
will not only create
more design that is dignifying,
more design that is dignifying,
201
582680
3936
不僅能創造更多有尊重感的設計，
也讓設計本身令人尊重。
09:58
but it will also
dignify the practice of design.
dignify the practice of design.
202
586640
3520
不僅為顧客導向設計增添多元性，
10:02
It will not only diversify
the client base of design,
the client base of design,
203
590720
3296
也為世界衍生出
10:06
but it will also create new,
more diverse forms of design
more diverse forms of design
204
594040
4456
嶄新多樣的設計型式。
10:10
for the world.
205
598520
1200
10:13
Now, in order to do this,
206
601560
2416
為了做到這點，
我的建築師和設計師朋友們，
尤其是白人男性，
尤其是白人男性，
10:16
my architecture and design friends,
especially my fellow white guys,
especially my fellow white guys,
207
604000
3776
我們必須同時和大幅地
擴展我們設計層次。
擴展我們設計層次。
10:19
we must simultaneously
and significantly diversify our ranks.
and significantly diversify our ranks.
208
607800
5176
如果我們想讓大眾相信
設計是為了他們
設計是為了他們
10:25
If we want the public to believe
that design is for them
that design is for them
209
613000
3216
也是為了所有人。
10:28
and for everyone.
210
616240
1376

Today, barely 15 percent

我們身邊的建築

其設計會多不相同，
10:51
be shaped differently
218
639800
1256
10:53
if women and people of color
219
641080
1376
如果設計的人中
10:54
were behind half
of the proverbial blueprints?
of the proverbial blueprints?
220
642480
2656
有半數是女性和有色人種呢？
這不是會不會的問題，
10:57
It is not a question of whether,
221
645160
2096
而是會到什麼程度。
10:59
but to what extent
222
647280
1696
我們的房屋、街景、
11:01
our buildings, our landscapes,
223
649000
2456
城市、鄉間社區
11:03
our cities and our rural communities
224
651480
2536
被設計得不美又缺乏實用性，
11:06
are less beautiful, less functional,
225
654040
3136
既不公平也不尊重人，
11:09
less equitable and less dignifying
226
657200
2656
11:11
because women and people of color
are less likely to be creating them.
are less likely to be creating them.
227
659880

是因為女性和有色人種
較無機會設計它們。

1943 年，英國首相邱吉爾

As Winston Churchill

228
664880

11:20

當時他呼籲全國重建

and afterward, they shape us."
231
672440
4760
他說：「我們先設計出建物，
然後這些建物塑造我們。」
然後這些建物塑造我們。」
幸好我們還能改變我們的設計，
11:30
The good news is
that we can change how we build
that we can change how we build
232
678520
3416
來針對我們的目標族群，
11:33
and who we build for.

11:43
We can do this
by recommitting architecture

236
691160
2456
我們能針對他們的需求
重新進行設計，

11:45
to the health, safety
and welfare of the public.
and welfare of the public.
237
693640
3720
注重健康、安全、公眾福祉。
這對社會很有幫助。
11:49
This will pay dividends.
238
697960
1896
因為你一旦見識過好設計，
11:51
Because once you see what design can do,
239
699880
2856
就再也無法忽視它了。
11:54
you can't unsee it.
240
702760
1280
11:56
And once you experience dignity,
241
704720
2336
一旦你體會過好設計帶來的尊嚴，
11:59
you can't accept anything less.
242
707080
2576
你就不會接受低質感的設計。
12:01
Both become part of your possible.
243
709680
2120
這兩個會成為你可以做到的。

She said, "Dear Johnny,

在信中，我奶奶也寫到
12:32

如同我奶奶，
12:59
you deserve good design.
269
767800
3456
你們都值得更好的設計。
13:03
Because well-designed spaces
270

不只牽涉品味與美學問題，
13:05
are not just a matter of taste

and what we deserve.

那才是尊重的本質。
13:14
That is the essence of dignity.
274
782080
2416
設計的機會和責任都在於

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.
