INVISIBLE CITIES
1. Based on the writings of Calvino. For Tamara. In the streets of the city, it is a very prosperous street. There are all kinds of shops in the street. There will also be some shops or fruit stalls on the street. In this city, it is similar to the modern city streets, but it is different on his signboards, and the way of expression is different, which is more vivid and lively. There will also be some prohibited things in the signboard, similar to modern no-smoking signs. Outside the city, it is very empty, extending to the horizon, making the city very isolated. 2. In this city, its architectural form is relatively not so old and not so new, but the form it expresses is very dynamic and attractive. It will not have any high-rise buildings, just a street with shops as the main body. This city can be in the air or on the ground. 3. People in the city live very happily. On the streets, they can find anything they need. The form presented by the signboard is also very distinctive, which makes people think about what a signboard looks like. In other buildings, there will also be interesting waterfalls or other entertainment facilities. In terms of weather, the sky will be open and dark clouds will be covered. In the clouds, it will also show images of things, such as the shape of an elephant.

MELISEN This can be said to be a mobile store where you can sell some things, and people can sit down and rest when they are tired from walking. In addition, it can also be used as a sightseeing car to take tourists to visit, or if customers cannot find the destination they want to go to, it can easily take you there.
There are tables and chairs, lockers, and signs coming out of the wall, with names and things themselves painted on them. The board at the door can be raised and lowered, and in the ground, the wheels play a role of movement and support.

Reflection The furniture design module has ended. In this semester, both hands-on skills and searching for information have been further improved, but the most regrettable thing is that I didn’t go to school for face-to-face classes. I think it would be more interesting if I went to school for class. , Can learn more. There are three assignments in this semester. The first assignment is a sketch from one to eight weeks. It will be divided into various categories every week, allowing you to think of items related to it. This can improve our drawing ability and the visual effect. The second assignment is to think about a multi-functional furniture suitable for home use with classmates. Also consider the product's beauty and fashion style, and more importantly, practicality. Especially in today's severe epidemic, we have to work at home or In the case of learning. My classmates and I thought of a very practical table that can be contracted. This is also the result of thinking about it together with my partner. Get the teacher's approval. But it is a pity that I did not make this kind of furniture together at school. I hope to see other students making furniture in school in the future. The third assignment is invisible cities. This topic is very interesting, because there are many cities in this topic. It has published a book that describes the characteristics of various cities. This is a phenomenon that depends on you. To present the city. But in this homework, I feel that I did not do very well, and there is no better way to listen to the teacher's suggestions. After completing this work, I found that there are many shortcomings and many areas that need improvement. Failed to complete a better presentation. It may be that I did not arrange a reasonable time to complete it. This is what I need to improve. Conclusion, I have learned a lot in this module, but there are also many areas that need improvement. I will reflect on the mistakes I made and actively correct them in the future. In the end, I would like to thank the teachers for their tutoring, and thank them for their contributions, thank you very much. I hope to see the teacher while studying in the future, sit down and chat, I think it is very interesting.
