Environmental awareness and renewable energy will be the guiding theme of the IED LAB exhibit at Tecnargilla 2010. As usual, the world’s biggest trade fair of supplies for the ceramics and brick industry will be showcasing design concepts from students at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Milan. The projects displayed at the fair have been created by third-year students from around the world who are enrolled in the Industrial Design course, and were the subject of a normal academic exam, as an additional guarantee of their quality.The designs all revolve around the innovative use of ceramics: porous, extruded, bio, recycled, and combined ceramics, used alone or with other materials.

　　Under the guidance of Professor Raoul Schoumaker, an artist, lecturer, teacher, and industrial designer specialized in product/project management, the young designers worked to develop objects that would meet urban needs, conceiving both mobile and structural elements, with indoor and outdoor architectural components. This vast field of investigation served to focus attention on new applications and production methods.

　　The exhibit includes environmentally-conscious objects aimed at employing renewable energy, with examples including the “Ripple”fountain, a grass roofing system, and radiant flooring. The students also explored the application of ceramics to road design, coming up with innovative methods for creating prefabricated, modular noise barriers that are extremely resistant to wear and tear and to vandalism: attractive elements that add beauty rather than dreariness to their surroundings. The concepts for street furniture range from drinking fountains to road dividers, as well as wind-powered heating systems and restful oases for city dwellers, and show a keen focus on the hygienic aspects of public spaces and the importance of privacy, with partitions for homes, offices, and shops.

　　环保意识和可再生能源将成为2010里米尼国际陶瓷技术博览会(Tecnargilla)欧洲设计学院(IED)实验展的主题。与往年一样，本届世界最大规模陶瓷及制砖业用品交易会将展出米兰IED学生的设计概念。交易会上展示的各项目，由来自世界各地就读工业设计课程的大三学生创建。这些项目曾是正规学术考试科目，因此在品质方面有额外保证。全部设计作品都以陶瓷的创新使用为核心：单独或与其他材料一起使用的多孔陶瓷、挤出陶瓷、生物陶瓷及结合陶瓷。

　　在Raoul Schoumaker(艺术家、讲师、教师、专门从事产品/项目管理的工业设计师)的引导下，年轻的设计师们努力开发出能够满足都市需求的物品，并在设计中融入了移动元素及结构元素，结合了室内及室外的建筑构件。这个庞大的探索领域使人们将目光聚焦于新的运用和生产方法之上。

　　该展览包括旨在利用可再生能源的物品，体现出了环保意识，其中包括“涟漪”喷泉，草制屋顶和光辐射楼板。学生们还探索了陶瓷在道路设计方面的应用，提出了制造预置模块隔音屏的创新方法，这种隔音屏极耐磨损、抗破坏：这些美观的屏障不仅不显单调，反而能给环境增添美感。街道设施方面的概念包括自动饮水器、道路护栏、风力供热系统以及为市民提供的休憩处，还包括家庭、办公室和商铺用的隔板，显示了对公共场所卫生的关注及对个人隐私的重视。
