项目陈述
Project Statement

全球范围内，野火的影响正不断加剧并蔓延。《火之设计》是一系列探索这些挑战的项目，旨在激发关于设计如何有意塑造未来的对话。《火之设计》涵盖多个媒介，包括一本记录近30个国际创意火灾设计案例的书籍；一场名为“火焰未来”的公共展览，邀请参与者体验不同的未来情境；一个收集和分享公众对野火关注与经验的网站；以及一个景观装置，将新的火焰吉祥物融入集体想象。最重要的是，《火之设计》传达了一个信息—— 我们可以选择塑造我们未来的火焰世界。

Around the world, the impacts of wildfires are increasing and expanding. Design by Fire is a set of projects that examine these challenges and provoke conversations about the role design might play in intentionally shaping futures. Design by Fire spans multiple media, including a book documenting nearly 30 international case studies of creative fire design; a public exhibition – Pyro Futures – that invites participants to experience different future scenarios; a website where public concerns and experiences with wildfires are collected and shared; and a landscape installation imparting new fire mascots into the collective imagination. Above all, Design by Fire seeks to communicate that we have a choice in what our fiery futures could be.

项目说明
Project Narrative

火之设计时代

全球范围内，野火的风险和影响正日益加剧、扩展。由于人类活动和历史遗留问题——如殖民主义、土地转型、城市开发以及燃烧化石燃料导致的气候变暖——火灾的本质正在迅速发生变化。这些变化带来了前所未有的挑战、问题和机遇，尤其是在设计和土地-火灾管理方面。

《火之设计》是一系列应对这一挑战的沟通性作品，旨在促进我们与火灾的集体关系的探索。通过审视火灾的历史与现状，这些作品帮助我们展望未来，提出对未来可能性的推测。最重要的是，这些项目传递了一个核心信息——我们有能力选择塑造未来火灾世界的方式。

多样化的传播平台

《火之设计》通过出版书籍、展览、网站和景观装置等多种方式，触及了广泛的观众。

《火之设计：在火时代的抵抗、共创与撤退》是一本已出版的书籍，深入研究并策划了全球27个火灾设计与管理的案例。通过图示、图像和地图，书中可视化了这些案例，并将它们分为三种主要方式：抵抗火灾与景观变化的设计、与这些力量共创的设计、以及尽量撤退、减少干预的设计。这本书在设计与规划领域是首创，无论在深度还是方法上都具有独特性。

《火焰未来》是一个参与性展览，旨在通过感知未来来鼓励参与者思考。
展览包括四个部分：
（1）加利福尼亚州及其火灾风险区的大型地图，参与者可以在自己居住或曾居住的地方插图钉；
（2）一个展示多种物品和图像的玻璃展示柜，帮助参与者想象州内三种截然不同的未来情景；
（3）参与者可以书写的《火焰日记》，记录他们对火灾的看法和关切；
（4）一组印刷明信片，参与者可以带走并寄给朋友或政府官员，延伸展览影响。

《火焰未来》还设有一个网站，收集并分享公众关于火灾未来的看法，并允许访问者为最喜爱的火焰吉祥物投票。

《只有你能决定我们的火焰未来》是位于加利福尼亚I-80高速公路上的一块广告牌，展示了提倡有益火灾的吉祥物“燃烧”山猫，并附有《火焰未来》项目的链接。

这些多样的传播方式旨在触及各类观众，包括学术界、专业人士、博物馆参观者及普通公众。

影响与效果

《火之设计》已在众多主流媒体上报道，触及超过500万人次。广告牌《只有你》已被观看超过400万次；《火焰未来》网站获得超过7000次访问；博物馆展览吸引了超过1.4万名参观者。展览的一部分（书籍、日记、明信片、可穿戴的“燃烧”山猫胸针）已被史密森学会美国历史国家博物馆永久收藏，成为其环境历史系列的一部分。《火焰未来》还在其他场所展出，继续产生影响。

Project Narrative

Design in a Time of Fire

Globally, the risks and impacts of wildfires are increasing, intensifying and expanding. Due to many human actions and past legacies – be it settler-colonialism, land conversion, development, and the burning of fossil fuels that are warming the climate – the very nature of fire is rapidly changing. Such changes present extreme challenges, questions and opportunities for design and land-fire stewardship.

Design by Fire is a set of communicative works that respond to this challenge by facilitating exploration of our collective relationships with fire. These works examine fire through time, examining past and current stewardship to help inform speculation on what could be. Above all, these projects attempt to communicate that we have a choice in crafting the fiery futures we will come to inhabit.

Diverse Media Distribution

Design by Fire has reached many audiences through a published book, an exhibition, a website and a landscape installation.

Design by Fire: Resistance, Co-creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene is a published book that researches and curates 27 global case studies of fire design and stewardship. The book visualizes these examples through diagrams, imagery and maps, and categorizes them into three general approaches: those that resist fire and forces of landscape change, those that embrace and co-create with those forces, and those that try to retreat and minimize human intervention. This book is the first of its kind, both in depth and approach, for the design and planning disciplines.

Pyro Futures is a participatory exhibition in a prominent public art museum that encourages participants to feel their way into the future. The exhibition consists of four parts: (1) a large map of California and its fire risk zones, in which participants can insert pins wherever they live, or have lived. (2) A large glass case full of diverse objects and images used to help participants imagine three very different potential futures for the state. (3) Pyro journals that participants can write in responses to questions about fire and what concerns them most. And (4) a set of printed postcards that participants can take with them and mail to friends and government officials to extend the exhibition beyond the gallery.

Pyro Futures also exists as a website where public responses to questions about fire futures are collected and shared, and visitors can vote for their favorite new fire mascot.

ONLY YOU Can Decide our Fiery Future is a billboard along the I-80 freeway in California. It features Burnie the Bobcat, a mascot promoting beneficial fire, and includes a link to the Pyro Futures project.

These diverse media platforms were selected to reach wide audiences across a range of spaces, be they academic, professional, museum goers, or the general public.

Impact and Effectiveness

Design by Fire has been featured across a range of prominent news outlets, reaching over 5 million people.The ONLY YOU billboard has been seen over 4 million times; the Pyro Futures website has over 7,000 page hits, and the museum exhibition has hosted over 14,000 visitors. Parts of the exhibit (book, journals, postcards, and wearable Burnie the Bobcat pin) were requested by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and are a permanent part of its Environmental History Collection. Pyro Futures is also being included and considered in additional venues.
