国家二十多年的快速发展，大众开始理性的面对各种表面的繁华，反思那些因为急速发展带来的各种断裂与混乱。而对于创意产业这一个还算新兴的行业，当下大多数的媒体仅仅是关注到了那些位于行业最前沿的人物和事件。但中国的设计师不只是海外的中标者，被冠以新锐头衔的艺术家，和在各种4A公司就职的高薪者们。这个队伍更多的组成部分是那些在其他行业从事相关工作的人群，在二三级城市甚至更小城镇的从业者，在各种艺术院校学习准备投身于此的学生等。
相对其他行业而言，中国当代设计更具矛盾性，它处在艺术和商业的夹缝之间，想要两全又难两全。从业者面临太多的诱惑，又很难把噱头和虚假从事物的本身上分离出来。从业者的身份更加模糊，没有一个明确的标准来界定和划分。所以这里设计从业者一词含义是宽泛的，分类更细致。
这一次希望所有可以被称为是设计从业者的人们把自己的资料提供出来。这个计划准备用这些资料真实客观的反映出当代中国设计从业者的现状。把它取名为“没兴没废”，是因为看到了中国设计优秀的一面，但认为这些还不具有普遍性。看到了中国设计面对的众多无奈与困境，但也没有丧失理想主义和创造精神。我们不奢望“没兴没废”可以给出解决问题的答案，但是寄希望于它让我们看到问题的所在！！！
With the nation’s fast development within the last 20 years, populace rationally began facing all kinds of superficial prosperity is reconsidering this confusion and is breaking due to the rapid development. But for the emerging creativity industry, the only part catching major media consists merely of the individuals and events on top of the current. But the group of China's designers is not only this elite appreciated by overseas, those designers being titled with new-fashion, this class with amazing salaries in 4A Companies. The power of this troop mainly relies on crowds working in other fields related to the creativity industry, on these people being employed in even smaller cities, on countless graduated students who prepared to devote themselves to the design industry.
Compared to other industries, China’s contemporary design industry is more incompatible. It stays between the commercial world and its artistic level, wishing to be satisfactory to both sides, which is rather difficult to achieve. Facing too many enticements, practitioners can also hardly separate stunts and falsities from the nature of things. Practitioners’ identity becomes fuzzier and fuzzier, without an explicit standard to compartmentalize. Therefore the word ‘designer’ has a broad meaning, with delicate classification.
To accurately reflect the status quo of China’s contemporary designers, we propose the plan named ‘Unprosperous & Unbroken’. We hope that all the designers participate in the plan to share their experiences. We named it ‘Unprosperous & Unbroken’, because we see the excellent aspects of Chinese design, but still without catholicity. Chinese design is in a great deal of lurches and helplessness, even though, the idealism and creativity is still alive. We don’t expect the plan of ‘Unprosperous & Unbroken’ can solve this problem, but we indeed hope it can lead us to find where the problem is located..
