Born in Taiwan, Lawrence Tsai is an industrial Design graduated from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, which is a competitive Product Design program in my country. For him, industrial design is not just a problem-solving or an aesthetic-oriented task, but an holistic discipline combining a story creating process with a deep understanding of people behaviors, and systematic thinking process behind a certain product. He strives for broadening his capability and vision of other design area, in terms of Interaction design, Speculative design, Transportation design and so on, to ďŹ nding new opportunity for Design. When not designing, he is also a sci-ďŹ lover and cyclist traveler, as well as interesting in philosoph.

LAWRENCE TSAI I am an Industrial Design student from Taiwan. I have been learning art when I was 12. The first time I met the tern “Design” was in my sixteen in senior high school and began to dive in this fascinated area, regard it as my future career. I am mainly focus on product design, but I also extend my ability to interaction design, UI/UX, and art.

Problem
Opportunity
According to the user research and the reports from market analysts. The main reason why Under Armour was lose behind their competitors, Nike and Adidas from 2015 to 2017, was the transformation of buyers taste. The impression of musculine and professional sporty dominated buyers’ mind, however, when the trend of so-called “Athleisure” was all the rage, Under Armour was seemed to not catch up with this trend.
Kevin Plank, the CEO and founder of Under Armour, claimed that they would focus on technology of wearable device and fitness data collection, which he would like to change Under Armour into sports-tech brand, not just a sports brand, in 2017 when UA tried to deal with the declined market share against Nike and Adidas.

Physical response “ New technologies tend to rely on display screens, often with tiny lettering, with touch-sensitive areas that are exceedingly difficult to hit as eye-hand coordination declines. ” by Don Norman, the article in Fast-company.
Reversing the notion of modern technology, which is filled with flat display overly, and lack of tangible experience for users.

Inspiration In order to find a suitable pattern to make this wearable device feel better when touching it. I looked for some references from different texture, such as a sole of shoe, some 3d surface on wearable devices, and other devices made of unique material. Besides, the user interface that compatiable with feasible function and detailed feeling is an important things as well.

Why we collect ? Look at the picture below, we collect everyday. We use different containers to protect what we have found. Each materials has unique color and texture, similarily, our personality is also shaped with what we have collected from different experiences.

ent ideation
Ideation The initial idea to this project was little complicated. From the beginning, I tried to build two things: (1) Worlds of different stories related to personal (2) a figure which has emotional projection
Therefore, I set up differnt kind of world, each has its own story to transmit some emotions or situations related to yourself right now. Also, in order to create a role representing to yourself, I came up with a figure as a mascot of this brand.
Inner world of your mind
However, I changed my direction to this setting. I found that I should focus on the figure itself, which was not only the first impression of this brand, but a straightforward sign to create emotional projection.
42
Blank, Neutral, a meaning remained to be defined
ReďŹ nement The original concept of inner world was replaced by something you collect, which could truly stand for yourself. The reason why I chose this type of mascot is that it was characterize blank and neutral meaning, also good to hold in hand.
43
The original concept was to build a inner world, each world related to different situations or emotions, but it was too complicated and hard to be perceive.

Content Experiment In order to explore how the mascot looks like in different contents, I tried many contents below, choosing the shape from circular to linear, even powder. In this experiment, I could found which material is suitable to fit into mascot container, depending on the effect they stack up, including color and texture. I think what you collect could represent part of yourself, like personality and the journey you go through.

Consciousness Concretizer An interactive installation for future face-to-face communication
Catelog / Design for Interaction Material / Wood, Acrylic, Arduino, Gas cylinder Designer / Lawrence Tsai Period / 2 months

Project task/ briefing Design an interactive installation that imagine the way of people future in face-to-face talk occasion. “ Conciousness Concretizer ” is an interactive installation in the possiable future, or in the parallel universe, where human’s original and instinctive way of communication is transformed from face-to-face talking to semi- virtual communication, which is similar to online chatting through the Internet, but in reality. The installation stands as a role of simulating the occasion we talk to each other but have more freedom and manipulation to block someone we do not like to interact with or mute awkward topics we refuse to talk and so on. It is the way we are used to doing on the Internet, and make a little bit of fantasy mesh with our reality. On the basis of finding people an alternative interaction , this conceptual creation aims at discovering different behaviors between online and offline. It is meant to spark a debate on modern society where people heavily rely on online communication instead of face-to-face communication.

Position The shape of top surface is hexagon, which has a metaphor of stable and protective, but only attached to three legs. In this case, I want to make it look like unstable and kind of imbalance when two people look at each other. In contrast, it seems more stable on the other side, like the sight of outsiders.
58
We dive into the virtual everyday through smartphones on our hands, getting used to interacting with each other by communication softwares. This behavior may sounds indifferent somehow, but it turns out to make us more comfortable and have more options to dealing with social difficulties, compare to meeting someone face to face.

Peasant Farming “ Peasant farming is an agricultural mode of production, defined by ten interconnected rules, such as seeking self-sufficiency in all of the farm’s operations, respecting the surrounding environment (including local communities), and sparing scarce resources such as gas and water. This agricultural mode looks to provide producers with a decent income on a lasting basis, through volume allocations of high-quality goods produced with full disclosure. “

Workshop Intro “Hsiao ching she� is the workshop of Emotional Design and Speculative Design for two well-known design schools in Taiwan. Participants will be grouped to draw an idea or innovation inspired by public space in Taipei City.
Experience It was the first time for me to know the concept of speculative design. In this workshop, I realize that the design has it own power to make impact to society, not only the form of tangiable object, but other media, such as video and performance art

Initial idea
Concept video
“BounDarry� is a footage for a series of man-made boundary in public space. Through field research, we discovered that we are surrounded by numerous boundary in public, such as waiting lines, traffic arrows , which make us obey or follow unconsciously.
We take Taipei MRT station, where is filled with plenty of boundary lines and limitation areas, as a sample to emphasize the idea of the rule we ignore and even take for granted normally. In this video, we were breaking some public-space rules in MRT station to trigger people to know the presence of boundary, and provide different results when we break the rule as a comedy and a reflection
