AUTOBIOGRAPHY When I am a child, my greatest interest was staring at the electrical products at home in a daze. I can did this all day. When staring at it at same time , I thought curiously in my mind - “How does it work?”. To senior high school, I began to like mathematics and science. I liked observing everything around me and used logic to understand their rules of operation and interrelation. For me, discovering the laws of nature and beauty is a very happy thing! At that time, I used to drawing what I saw and in order to researched them, so I gradually like the painting. I was originally studying in mathematics for my first volunteer, however, I falled in a mistake in university exam. Finally, I selected a strange department - Industrial design. But something strange, I falled in love with design forever. I found that my personality which love to observe and think in the past time with my painting skill are the basic abilities to becoming an industrial designer. From that time, I began to focus more on observing the life around things - people’s habbits, the laws of nature, the mutual influence of the product structure. Find a lot of habits and think about why this result? Analyze their environment, conditions, results, etc., and transform this knowledge into the elements of my design. Design is a complex discipline, it must integrate the knowledge of various fields, carefully integrate them and apply to our lives. Observation, comprehension, transformation and creation. This is the four steps I have sorted out at design. Through these steps, I always remind myself that my designs must be relevant to our daily life and make life better. I love science, but I love design more. I encourage myself that I can continue to maintain such enthusiasm to observe daily life, comprehend cause and effect, transform elements and create design!

“I want to be a designer! ” This is a dream from a child who was born in a poverty rural village.

Fortunately, this dream is same with mine. Let’s fighting together!

AIRBOOK FRAME。 A bookcase combined with balloon slipcases let us be able to give old textbooks new life while retaining them. Balloon slipcase become supportive material while filled with air and books. User can create varied form according to their needs and preferences through building up freely.Cherish memories come upon mind while selecting books on the bookcase.Also, memories are able to be reviewed so that you can easily take them out and read. The combination of memories and convenience function is our core idea.

bserve the students who under the current education system were popular to package and recycle the textbooks after the graduation season. Abandoning is not only a method to vent our pressure but also is a ceremony which convey graduation. There are a large number of students throw the former textbooks away by following the trend every year in the world. However, after the discarding, we always feel emptiness and regret. We recognize that abandoning is not a farewell but a loss of our significant memory which was happened in our learning life.

here are so many wonderful memories in books, like some serious notes or interesting graffiti.These memories are worth to come back to review and watch constantly after we grow up.

Therefore, we focused on how to preserve the memories, thinking out how the eliminated textbooks can be combined with life. Save memories, simultaneously, giving them a new functionality. "You can hate exams, but do not hate reading."We hope that with our design, an adult can still learn to keep reading habits.

M

ost of the commercially available bicycles do not have any turn signal. People usually need to go and buy some turn signals for installation. However, the additional turn signals often are not able to indicate the intended turning direction of the bicycle in real time so that the vehicle coming behind fails to determine the correct direction and might bump into the bicycle accidentally. This leads to a lot of serious accidents and also makes bicycle riding on main roads becomes a dangerous activity.

This allows a vehicle coming behind to clearly determine the direction that a bicycle rider intends to turn so as to enhance the riding safety for bicycle riders.

CONSTRUCTION

T

he bottom portion of the “Barrier lord” is designed with a moving mechanism which is loose when being lifted up. When the retractable barrier is placed on the ground, the internal cylinder aligns downward and this closes the hole for air ventilation. The orange rubber ring at the bottom side can ensure the edges of the space to align with the ground perfectly so as to form a vacuum state at the bottom space of the “Barrier lord”.

This vacuum state provides the “Barrier lord” with a high atmospheric pressure so that the retractable barrier can stand firmly on the ground. When a user wants to pick it up, it is simply required to lift the retractable gently upward so as to unclamp the internal mechanism and allows air to flow in.

Lightweight, easy to pick up!

The containers which full of water often make mosquitoes multiply and result in serious dengue fever.

A

conventional flowerpot has a water pan under it for the purpose of keeping water when there is a superfluous amount of water flowing out so that it won’t flow all over the floor. However, the water in a water pan easily forms stagnant water which can develop larvae quickly.

Mosquitos as a result from the larvae lead to serious dengue fever problems in tropical or subtropical countries with dense populations. To resolve this problem, out attempt was to design a flowerpot that doesn’t need a water pan but can drain the water automatically so as to resolve the dengue fever problems in the tropical and subtropical countries.

“Transpiring Flowerpot” is a design that can automatically drain water without a water pan.

I

t’s structure includes three portions which are made of three different materials. The topmost layer is made of ceramics and is a container that accommodates soil and plants. There is a drainage hole under it so that the superfluous water is allowed to drain.

The second layer is made of a pottery piece and has a cylinder which mates the hole on the upper layer. The pottery piece allows water absorption and drainage so that it can absorb the superfluous water and drain the water from it edges gradually. The pottery piece is sintered with cupric sulfate crystals so that it turns blue when absorbed water.

The bottommost layer is a rubber pad which is installed underneath the pottery piece for refraining the pottery piece from any scratch or damage due to the tabletop.

fter a lot of observation, I found the most common method that cruet used to be identify is to write the name on the bottle label to indicate. However, such the method always destroies the aesthetic of cruet and the label are easily to shedding.I translate their meaning into words and make their "kanji" transform into cruet’s shape, so spice cruet’s shape becomes a seasoning "tag".At the same time, decorated by the beautiful chinese calligraphy, make the table be in a full of cultural atmosphere.

It is used to contain soy sauce pot to make people easily to remember.

Kanji cruet make cruets unique from normal bottle. The special shape increases the ease of recognition, so that people can be easy to confirm what spice inside.Shaped like the Kanji also makes cruets add cultural conservation of chinese characters on the table.
