海默的世界----有关阿兹海默症的书籍设计

随着中国人口老龄化趋势日益加重,老年病症的发病率逐年升高,其中阿兹海默症是最令人们关注的病症之一,在中国大部分地区将阿兹海默症叫做“老年痴呆”,这种明显带有歧视性的说法十分不利于病人的及时就诊和心理健康。
我所设计的书籍从患者的失语、失认和失用三个症状出发,分别以患者、家人和医生三个角度,讲述阿兹海默症患者从健康到患病再到病情加重的时间段内,在记忆与智能部分的变化。利用纸本阅读的特性,结合症状带给人的感受,运用雕刻、剪裁、图形重构等手法,表现患阿兹海默症并不代表会失去所有,变成“痴呆”,他们有一个属于自己的“海默的世界”,也呼吁患者家人和社会能够从另一个积极的角度看待他们。

With the increasing of the Ageing population in China, the incidence of the disease in the elderly increased year by year. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most attention disorders. In most parts of China, Alzheimer's disease is called" The Dementia ". This argument, which is with clearly discriminatory, is not conducive to the patients' timely treatment and their mental health.    
The books were designed from the patient's aphasia, agnosia and apraxia. In the angles of patients, family members and doctors, the books will talk about Alzheimer's disease patients' changes in memory and intelligence section from healthy to sick and finally to experience the sicker time period. In these books, using the paper read features, combined with the symptoms to bring people's feelings, and using engraving, cutting, graphic reconstruction and other techniques to explain the performance of the patients does not represent that they lose all and become "dementia". They own their "Alzheimer's world". Also, the books called on the patients' families and the society could treat them from another positive point. 

这是本科的毕设作品(2014年),现在看来,略显青涩,但每一笔雕刻、每一本书的装帧、每一张图画,都是我带着情感亲手制作的。一看到这些,就想起当时熬夜画图,在各个印刷店奔波只为找到还原度最高的机器,制作成书后一笔笔的镂空,只为呈现出能够触动人心的设计。
