PULLING TOY
INSPIRED BY MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO
|
Jiayang Lyu
My Neighbor Totoro, a wellknown Japanese animated fantasy film produced in 1988 by Ghibli Studio, has a profund influence to cartoon industry and Asian culture and still beloved by people around world nowadays. Inspired by this movie, I wanted to do a pull toy mainly for 6-14 girls or boys. It would be a playable and fairy tale like pull toy to give children warm and happiness.
|
Jiayang Lyu
I watched this movie again and look over other Ghibli works to fully understand their style. After that, I analyzed the most impressive scenes and characters in this movie and decided what kinds of pull toy I would like to make.

DEVELOPING FOAM CORE/CORRUGATED PAPER
Considering the practicability of wheels, I reduced the amount of wheels to only 4 and slightly change my design. There is a unique shape attached to the axis of wheels for guiding the outside part up and down.
In order to make this part work more fluency, I added a board on one side of them and made a guide for the outside part to go.

FLASH DRIVE
MODERN&TRADITION CULTURE
|
Jiayang Lyu
In the past two years, more than ten skyscrapers have been completed in my hometown, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China. However, as the development of modernization, traditional culture is gradually forgotten.
In order to preserve the beauty of national architectures, I try to combine the elements of different architecture styles with new technology that symbolize modern life.
|
Jiayang Lyu
In my series of design, you can experience the variety and similarity in Chinese architectures in different areas, and appreciate the extensive and profound of traditional Chinese culture.
I designed four kinds of flash drives adopting four different architecture styles: Jing, Hui, Min and Su, which reference from typical architectural forms and elements of each style.

JING
京派
Tulou, a kind of structure which rammed earthen structures that resemble fortress, are commonly seem in southwester Fujian with variant forms seen in adjacent areas of Jiangxi and Guangdong province. My third design is mainly focus on the main function of Tulou – to keep security.
In my design, I took the round, gray appearance to be the symbol of Tulou. The USB adapter is hiding in the middle of this flash driver,which it is derived from the embedded window designing for increased security. When the flash drive opened by rotating two parts of it, the USE adaptor appears and it looks like the arch door in the Tulou.
Siheyuan, which also known as “courtyard house”, is a traditional Han residence in north-China which first appeared more than 2000 years ago. The shape and color of the body part of this design are the symbol of Siheyuan- a red, square courtyard. The cap is a shape of open flower which derived from Chuihuamen(a main door to connect inner and outer residence) , and it is plated with gold as most of Chuihuaman which symbolize the status of houses’
MING
闽派
As a Zhuang minority in Guangxi Province, my most familiar nationality buildings are the houses of Zhuang, Yao, Miao, and Yao. The most common type of building in Guangxi minority’s area is Diao Jiao Lou(stilted building), a kind of residence that is mainly supported by long sturdy stilts and constructed by mortise and tenon joint structure.
HUI
徽派
People in my hometown love music and some of the most famous buildings like Gulou (Drum-tower) were built for placing instruments and playing music. When you rotate the shell, the whole shape will seem like an instrument called Lusheng(a reed-pipe wind instrument), and the round middle part assemble another instrument- Zhuanggu( a kind of drum). Matouqiang is one of the symbols of Huizhou architecture, and I adopt part of its contour as the shape of this flash drive. Since Huizhou style architectures are builted with high walls and deep courtyard, they have some special structures to light the inside building.
MIAO
苗派
The top part of this flash drive is hollow-cut, and this idea is derived from Tianjing – a void, open space that is bounded by constructed spaces in which to provide light, water, and fresh air to the deep houses. The hollow-cut pattern comes from huagechuang, an exquisite wooden latticework which is usually used as part of door and window panels.
