乐辞鼠岁，金牛迎新

SPARK思邦由衷祝您新春快乐

Heartfelt Wishes For a Great Year of the Ox

2020年是SPARK思邦在亚洲耕耘的20周年， 在2021牛年之际，我们很高兴地说，技术和生态的独创性正在一如既往地支持SPARK思邦将无边界的设计品牌带入城市之中。

在当今疫情所带来的全球不确定性下，我们需要从根源上重新思考我们作为设计师的角色以及我们能够为社会做出的贡献。

现代人对城市的观念与健康息息相关。大约一个世纪前，疾病使得城市密度成为杀手，因此城市人口稀少，熙攘的街道被绿色的开放空间所替代。Covid-19改变了我们体验这座城市的方式。疫情使得汽车数量减少，空气变得更干净，市民可以漫步和安全的骑行于公共场所，同时也使得户外开放空间和绿色公园更加珍贵。它使我们重新认识到，在我们观念中理应享受的社会配套设施的价值，它提高了人们的行为会影响到他人的认知。希望以此使每个人都能意识到，对空间的占据方式会对社会产生影响。

 

创意和灵感中的潜力为浪费的新建筑揭开新序幕，同时是在“retro-first”中提倡对现有建筑进行改造和翻新的机会，以支持更接近碳中和的目标。创意和社会创新将为后疫情社会提供全新的解决方案。这些社会和环境的价值是SPARK思邦计划在牛年推进并变得更有意义的事情。

请持续关注，创意是我们的基本信仰，SPARK思邦在此祝大家牛年快乐。

2020 was the 20th anniversary of SPARK working in Asia; and as we enter the Year of the Ox 2021 we are grateful to say that we are still able to bring SPARK’s borderless design brand supported by technological and ecological ingenuity to the city.

In these times global uncertainty brought about by the pandemic we need to radically rethink of our role as designers and the contribution we can make to society.

Modern attitudes to cities have been closely linked to health. A century or so ago, diseases made density a killer, and so cities were depopulated, their teeming streets replaced withgreen open spaces. Covid-19 has changed the way we experience the city. The pandemic has offered views of public places with fewer cars and cleaner air, roads you can stroll down and cycle without danger. It has certainly made some things more precious, such as open spaces and green parks. It has renewed our appreciation of the value the social infrastructures we perhaps have taken for granted. It has heightened awareness of the ways in which one person’s actions can affect another’s. It has hopefully made everyone more conscious of the ways they occupy space in relation to other people.

Potential lies in creativity and inspiration that can lift the lid on wasteful new building, where opportunities for transforming and renovation of existing buildings “retro-first” exist to support a closer to carbon-neutral objective. Creativity and social innovation, will provide new solutions for our post pandemic society.

These social and environmental values are something we at SPARK plan taking forward and make meaningful in the year of the Ox.

Watch this space…Happy New Year of the Ox from all of us at SPARK….and our fundamental belief in creativity！
