How do you feel after the completion? While finishing the book designed on my own, it is satisfied that is because I unexpectedly made this hard cover book. I can not only keep it myself, but use it as a sketchbook.
What’s the difference between the experience and exception? Before making it, I thought that it is so easy that what we have to do is just follow the tips; yet, lots of problem encountered such as the length of the bookspine etc..Altouugh I haven’t tackle some problems and have some unperfect part, it is still my perfect work in my heart.
What external resources are necessary for completing the task? Nail, glue, cutting mate, rulers and some little tools it seems that thay are somehow useless, but atually, they play a vital role when working

CONSTRUCTION
E1-1 TOOL STUDY I Form and Use
TASK
Lecture has introduced the relationship among the form, mechanism and use conditions of some tools. In this exercise you need focus on such issues when practise the phototaking and photo collage skills.
PROCEDURE
Shoot the book to create attractive views. Learnhow to use the differnt lens and different Depth of Field. Collect tools you have used for bookbinding and shoot photos for the tool set from top position with at least three different layouts the record the arrangement. Select at least three tools for further study and shoot the projected views of the single tool, shoot the actual use of the tool as well. Last, use Photoshop Layers to merge the scenes to create a photo collage which can demonstrate the use and motion.

E1-2 TOOL STUDY II Difference and mechanism
TASK
In this exercise you will use the early output to study the formal aspects ofthe selected tool, learn its scientific mechanism, then consider the relationship between the two.
PROCEDURE
Use the following pages as an instruction to do the exercise. You are encrouged to search the internet to understand the general mechanism of a tool, or one type of use of a tool. In the analysis part, you are encouraged to find out the hidden order by compare the selected tool with another variation.

Outline
The outline were traced with a pen. The general shapes can be fond out: side bottom back

Division
The division line were added with a pen. The parts can be found out : BLADE, HANDLE & JOINT Within the back part, we can see the following parts : a piece of thin metal connects with the handle in the front, and a pivot attachs on the bottom.
20
Meterial
The parts are identical according to their material, color, teture , and coating. Atoned drawing strengthend difference of parts.
E1-1 I TOOLS STUDY II
Size and Weight
Measuring tools helped us get the information: The utility knife’s length is 15.3 cm. The Height is 4 cm. The weight is 70g.
22
Mechanism
Input the force at point B and push the utility knife toward the cutting surface. At the same time, ring finger and middle finger which is point B apply a forward force to support the downward given force. Meanwhile, pull the utility knife backward along the direction of arrowhead. Besides, if longer the distance from fulcrum(cutting point) to point B, the less efficient it is. Thus, while cutting a harder board, we must provide more force, vice versa.

E1-3 TRANSPORTATION TOOLS STUDY Transportation Tool and Its Type
TASK
In this exercise you will learn how to search specific informations and summarize them to support construction organization. Through the study, you will find various transportation tools in the reality.
SITUATION
A small group of workers will conduct roof repairing work for a typical 3-story village house in Hong Kong. The house is inside a New Territoy village, difficult to reach with a vehicle and has no lift. There is a flat road with 2 meter’s width, linking the house and the parking plot 100 meters away. Thus, they need tools to move construction materials up and down from the ground level of the village house to the roof terrace.

Four different tools for horizontal transportation were found from interent. They are: household crane, chain hoist, compact hoist and construction hoist. Their key informations realting to user or buyer are identified as above. Red font means the top figure of the item and green font the bottom of the item.
If an user intends to use the tool for a small-scale construction work with household crane, chain hoist or compact hoist will be more suitable. They have acceptable capacity, but light self weights. The prices are much cheaper than construction hoist, which would be more suitable for larger construction sites or companies.

E1-X SILENT AUCTION To experience popularity of a product. To understand aspects of design evaluation.
NOTION
Silent auctions are auctions held without an auctioneer. People place their bids on sheets of paper instead.
SITUATION
1 Register an expected price of your own booklet on the Master List before starting the game. 2 Get one auction sheet, note down your name and put the sheet under your booklet for other student’s bidding. (Each student has 200 virtual dollars in the beginning) 3 Check the booklets made by other students. Select one you love to have. Write down a price you offer his/her auction sheet. 4 During the bid period, observe others’ bid. You may choose to increase the bid when your bid has been exceeded, or you may bid for another booklet, if you feel the current bid is far beyond your plan.

E2-1 WOODEN BLOCKS STACKING Space and Structure Relationship in block stacking
TASK
Get two large wooden blocks randomly from the assigned place. Prepare paper and stationary. Use block to generate various static form.
PROCEDURE
For each variation, draw the top and two side views. Distinguish the outstanding ones on area coverd, or height creating. Further consideration: How to increase the covered area? Compare the results and select interesting ones to record with photo and projection drawings. Caculate the covered volume and area and note down the data.

TASK
PROCEDURE
Only use Connection as short tape or a little blue tack. Then explore possible compositions of the blocks.
Reuse the wood blocks from E2.1. For each stacking option, please shoot the birdview, front/side view and perspective with your camera. Also trace the outlines to generate 3 projections on paper. Photocopy the original drawing/s and simply fill the covered volume (only) with shades.
