D&I 学术讲座 / JohnThackara / Designing For Life: 50 new jobs that are out there now

John Thackara是同济大学设计创意学院客座教授，可持续设计思想家、作家，英国皇家艺术学院院士。

“为生活而设计”这一理念听起来很有意义——但在实践中，这些词意味着什么？同样重要的是：在这一领域有哪些工作机会？

约翰·萨卡拉（John Thackara）在世界各地寻找社会、生态和经济项目的过程中，发现了当下正在涌现的现实工作。他的演讲将涵盖从食品和水系统、建筑再利用，到高端农业旅游、下一代酒店业以及人工智能在共享社会基础设施中的应用。萨卡拉说：“我们都想超越空谈，是时候去做有意义的工作，让我们所有人都能实现个人发展了。”

John Thackara is a sustainable design thinker and writer, and visiting professor at College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University. 

The idea of "designing for life" sounds meaningful - but what do those words mean in practice? Just as important: what jobs are available in that space?

Having traveled the world looking for social, ecological and economic projects, John Thackara has discovered real-world jobs that are emerging now. His talk will range from food and water systems, and building re-use, to high-end agritourism, next-generation hospitality, and the use of AI in social infrastructures for sharing. "We all want to move beyond talk" says Thackara. "The time has come to do meaningful jobs that enbale us all to develop personally, too".
