中性化妝師

撰文/ 黃懷德

規律的行政程序、 法規等等,相對室內設計氛圍的營造、裝飾陳設等等的感性元件,兩者各是不同的專門學問
現代人對於性向的判斷及認識,已不在如同以往那般壁壘分明。

越來越多人,同時擁有兩性的特質,就個人社交經驗,這類人多數都有相當的才華及藝術天份,對潮流的敏銳度也相當高,從事的行業通常和美的事物有關︰空間的美、藝術的美、造型的美、流行的美及文字的美等等,成績不淑。

凡事似乎都有正負陰陽之分、雌雄公母之異,甚至語言如法文、西班牙文也在此分類範圍之內,建築室內亦是如此。以建築來說,事務的整合、規律的行政程序、 數據的運算分析、法規等等,相對室內設計除了較實務的機能外,氛圍的營造、裝飾陳設等等一類的感性元件,兩者各是不同的專門學問,其構成對我而言亦是陰陽之分、雌雄之異。


建築蓋起來,室內裝進去。從事室內設計多年,總認為室內設計師的稱號,也可稱之為室內化妝師,就如同國外正名室內裝飾師或室內陳列師一般。受限於先天條件,面積、樓高、開窗、管線、結構樑柱及使用者等等因素,到了設計師手上修修補補,營造五覺的品質,創造錯覺的驚艷,如同人化妝一般,化的夠水準專業,包你脫胎換骨,化的差,就開始思考今天是不是晚點出門,重新來過。

台灣教育缺乏真正的室內設計課程教育,大多仍假室內設計之名,行建築手法之實,台灣的大師,多半也是建築背景出身,就空間規劃上或許自成一格,但就材料搭配、裝飾陳列及氛圍營造上,卻遠不及美術背景出身的人來的敏感,總必須經過一段時間的實驗,或直接從國外進口,從大師們早期的作品相較於現在近作不難觀其一二,雖然不是發自內心的進化,但也是一種值得誇獎的進步。

不景氣不是一天兩天了,建築業萎靡也不是新聞,以致不得不跨入室內的領域,瓜分裝修市場情有可原,光靠建商的臨時建築設計(接待中心)已無法滿足建築大師們的偉大抱負。也許礙於現實環境壓力,陽剛的建築操作也漸漸的中性陰柔起來,如同百貨公司裡的化妝品專櫃一樣,男性化妝師已變成主流,其功力相較於女性有時甚至有過之而無不及,以滿足市場現況的實際需要。

中性特質彷彿已是時代趨勢,漸漸的漫延開來,同時兼具剛柔長處,1加1大於2的特質條件,不優也難。

Gender-indifferent Make-up Artists

by Roy Huang

Regular administrative schedules, legal regulations,
and so on V elements of sense of architecture V and atmosphere making,
decoration displays, and so on V elements of sensitivity of interior design
V show distinctively different professional knowledge.
With regard to sex, modern people do not have the clear line of distinct difference between men and women which was used in the past.

More and more people sport characteristics of both sexes. According to my own social experience, people with characteristics of two sexes have artistic talent and ability and are also sharp about fashion. Such peoples careers are generally associated with beauty: they have good achievement in beauty of space, of art, of plastic arts, of fashion, of writing, and so on.

Everything has positive and negative characteristics V ying and yang, female and male. Some languages such as French and Spanish get involved in similar categorizations. Architecture and interior design are also of that type. Architecture, business conformity, regular administrative schedule, numbers calculation and analysis, law regulation, and so on are also concerned. About interior design, besides piratical mechanism, atmosphere making, decoration display, and so on are relatively elements of sensitivity. Both involve distinct professional knowledge. Such compositions have divisions and differences of yang and ying, and male and female.

Buildings are constructed; interiors are provided. As an interior designer for many years, I always think that interior designer could also be called as a make-up interior artist. In other countries, this is called interior decorator or interior displayer. In spite of limitation of some conditions such as area, height of building, window opening, pipeline, structure of beam and column, users, etc., designers can make up V constructing quality for five sensual senses and creating sensory illusions. The situation is like doing make-up for the human face. A high-quality professional is able to bring about total change. If the result is not good enough, it is necessary to start thinking whether you should leave home later today to re-start the process of make-up.

Education in Taiwan lacks courses in interior design. Most of time, the name V interior design V is abused and is falsely used to do architecture. Taiwans masters have backgrounds in architecture. In spatial planning, there is some style. But their sharp eye for materials matching, decoration displaying, and atmosphere making is far less than that of people who have a background in art. This observation comes from experiments over a period of time or from foreign importation. With comparisons between the masters earlier works and their recent works, the improvement is worthy of praise although it is not an intrinsic evolution.


A non-prosperous economy has happened not just for one or two days, but for a long time. Architecture industrys shrinking is not news any more so that it needs to go beyond the design area. The situation in which some part of design business is occupied by architecture is understandable. The temporary architectural design (receptionist center) that construction companies supplies has been unable to satisfy architecture masters great ambition. Limited by the pressure of the actual environment, masculine architectural operation is gradually becoming more feminine. This situation is like the cosmetics counter of department store at which male make-up artists have become in fashion and they are even more successful than female ones. Thus the actual demands of the market can be satisfied.

Neutral characteristic has seemingly become the trend of the times and is gradually extending. It possesses masculine and feminine advantages which are as similar as the fact that one plus one is equal to two. Thus, it is hard not to be excellent.
