About relationship

We catched the image of nest as our topic to make further design.

Early development

In the beginning, we focused on the relationship between people, aiming for making a product to improve it. Conducting brain storming, rough sketch, observation, film watching to make clear the design possibilities. Family was our choice. Every person has a shelter making him or her cozy. We catched this image, nest, as our topic to make further design. Framily | Industrial design

After Sketch and Arrangement, we decided to design an object near the gate. Design Spot

In the initial part of our design, we so rely on the text that it becomes a kind of obstacle. This time, we changed the way of thinking—by sketching. It provided us some possible ways for developing following ideas. Then, we arranged these results by writing keywords on post-it, finding it is important to improve the image of nest near the area of gate. If we could design a furniture in front of the door, people could see it upon caming back, making them feel warm and released after a day of hard work. Framily | Industrial design

Texture testing

Once having development on design, we started the experiment on texture. Testing Process

It is sometimes troublesome to start up with emotional design, therefor while we thinking and researching, we also had some experiments. For example, first, we made the image board to show our feeling toward the topic by using picture from photography, product, artwork. After grasping the general ideas, we moved on to the material testing. We tried to combine some materials so that we can fastly understand the limit of combining different materials. We chose a real transparent bottle as the base to match different type of caps, first because the transparent part is hard for us to simulat by computer rendering. Second, the tight combination between cap and bottle is the most basic way to combine two things, understanding the limit of material processing. Framily | Industrial design

User study 郭育滋 2012.11.23 0-0 家庭組成和爸爸、媽媽、弟弟同住，姊姊已經出去和男友同居。

0-0 家庭組成

爸媽和一個妹妹

李阿嬤現在帶著兩個就讀高中的孫子同住，他們爸媽在他們六歲時離異，而爸爸現在在中鋼工作，住那邊的員工宿舍，因此阿嬤就負責照顧他們的工作。

家裡除了爸媽以外有兩個小孩，她跟小她一歲的妹妹。

0-1 住宅類型? Layout?

社區式的電梯大樓

大樓公寓，外有陽台。

透天厝。家裡一樓以前租給補習班，二樓是客廳和廚房，三樓是臥房，四樓則是神明廳跟琴房。目前一樓沒有租了，就閒置下來，但有一個桌子，有時會放一些雜物。

0-2 家庭氣氛如何?

爸媽基本上算是開明，但是因為是家中第一個小孩的關係，希望可以完全參與小孩的生活。

李阿罵和孫子相處方式是把他們當朋友，回家就稍微關心一下，今天做了甚麼，有沒有錢等寒暄。就儘管課業不見得很棒，但是重要的是不要學壞，這樣阿嬤就心滿意足了。

家裡的小孩都在外讀書，一個南一個北，所以只要有一家團聚的機會就會特別珍惜。爸媽對小孩的寵愛是不用說的，跟妹妹也只差一歲，所以感情也很不錯。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 鞋櫃放在門口外，把鞋子放好後就會進房子，通常可以透過鞋子和電視聲得知有沒有人在家，假如有人看電視的時候，宣玲有時候會把東西丟在客廳，也省不了爸媽一陣murmur，但整體上還算很有紀律的小孩子。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 雖然希望能像是朋友一樣相處，但其實回家就是開始管教它們，像是為甚麼鞋子沒擺好、書包衣服亂丟在沙發之類的，總會覺得這些事情不應該是再讓阿嬤擔心了吧? 但以鞋子為例，孫子們總是會說，啊就明天還要穿呀，為什麼要擺那麼好? 而且擺鞋櫃好麻煩之類的，就儘管已經準備了兩個鞋櫃給他們了呢。到了週末，不免還是會要求他們擺，但孫子們總顯得還是意興闌珊。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 回家的時候家裡幾乎都會有人在，所以回家的流程很簡單，在一樓的樓梯間換鞋子，然後到三樓放包包、換衣服，可能接著洗澡或吃飯。小時候習慣比較差的時候會把襪子和書包放了丟在客廳，可是因為後來還是要自己拿回房間，所以漸漸地就比較不會這樣。

0-0 家庭組成

典型電梯公寓 0-2 家庭氣氛如何? 她非常不喜歡爸爸，雖然不知道細節，但應該是非常不顧家庭的壞人。而媽媽由於是家管的關係，生活圈非常小，很容易聽信最熟識的親信的話，所以就很武斷，但這個可能只是片面的情況，畢竟也有提到在外讀書時每天都會維持和家裡得聯繫，應該還是念家的，但因為爸爸的關係就對家庭顯得不太信任。

全家只有老媽會使用雨衣，因為會騎腳踏車出去買菜，而這個東西通常也是直接放在腳踏車上。因此會放在家裡的只有雨傘，會在陽台前面附近的木頭地板那邊，其實多少會覺得有點髒，頗為麻煩。 1-3 家人回家的行為大概又如何呢? 沒特別注意欸! 但好像就我習慣差一點 2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢? 由於爸媽的工作關係，一週總有幾天他們能夠早點回家，雖然大部分情況下會覺得不錯，但由於爸媽很希望可以完全了解小孩的生活，因此就覺得相當不自在。

2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

如0-2

2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

透過鞋子和電視聲

媽媽大概5點多下班就回家了，開門換好鞋子後會先打開樓梯間的燈，到睡前確定沒人會回家了才會關燈。爸爸大概6點多晚餐前會回到家，然後家人都會把鑰匙掛在二樓門口附近的鑰匙架上，不過她和妹妹的宿舍鑰匙都會放在自己身上。早上的話，爸媽會準備好早餐放在餐桌上再出門。因為她跟妹妹住在同一個房間裡面，所以不太會發生早上起床找不到人的事情。

就是很安心也很開心。

其實看孫子們把東西亂丟就知道他們就一定在家啦! 也不難的。 2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

在家門口看機車就會知道誰在不在家，要不然就是看鞋子。因為平常家裡大部分鞋子都會擺放好，比較常穿的鞋子也就那幾雙，家裡的小孩出外讀書之後跟妹妹回家會穿的鞋子也都很好認

0-1 住宅類型? Layout?

陽台公寓

透天厝，店面。

電梯大樓，家門口會有玄關和玄關櫃。家門內外各有一個鞋櫃。

0-2 家庭氣氛如何?

高中的時候和家庭關係蠻僵的，和爸爸感情不好，媽媽常夾在中間甚感猶豫。

爸爸特別注重小孩的教育，只要小孩想要學習，甚麼錢都花得很不手軟；媽媽則是對家庭成員是否溫飽特別重視，基本上家裡都挺和樂的，彼此之間都已經很習慣互相依賴。

跟媽媽關係很不錯，雖然作息會錯開，但是會透過便利貼來傳遞想要給對方的訊息。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 把門打開之後，把鞋子隨便脫在門口後，就把東西丟在房間裡面，再來「洗手」。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 因為爸媽工作的地方就在家裡，所以每次回家家裡都會有人，不過因為小孩都不住家裡了，所以晚上爸媽偶爾會到外面跟朋友聚會。但只要是特地從外地回家，不管多晚家裡都會有人等門。回家的流程也很簡單，會先把包包和隨身行李放在客廳一個置物的角落，然後到樓梯口那邊換鞋子，如果有需要換洗的衣物會再自己拿去洗衣機洗。

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 沒有問得很清楚，但大致上會把鞋子脫在門外，到室內換室內拖，然後進房間。下雨的話雨傘跟雨衣會晾在家門外的陽台，等乾再收起來。濕掉的鞋子也會放在外面。

之後沒有繼續問下去是因為這樣的使用者似乎就已經不是我們target對象了。

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢?

1-2 假如是雨天的情境下，又有什麼改變呢? 會把雨衣會直接掛在外面的欄杆上晾乾，但曬乾後也是阿嬤得親自把雨衣拿進去，而雨傘就會直接在陽台的欄杆上掛著，有提到雨水不至於把陽台弄的一遍濕。至於鞋子會直接立在陽台靠外側的地方，下面有墊著木頭，而欄杆也夠密不至於讓鞋子掉出去。 1-3 家人回家的行為大概又如何呢?

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢?

1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 最近因為工作的關係，作息時間大概都是從凌晨三點直到早上十點，回家很晚很晚，家人幾乎都睡了，但回家媽媽一定就會醒來。但由於擔心小孩的關係，就會不斷提到應該換工作的至情，對她來說就嘮嘮叨叨，並不是很愉悅的樣子。

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢? 對她來說，回家是非常非常差的感受，因為爸爸和媽媽對她來說都是相當負面的感覺，整個家庭都對她是非常不友善的，也因此在大學期間寒暑假都是在台南度過的，不太會回家，當然每天都會和媽媽弟弟聊天，但似乎仍對於家庭觀感沒有很好，現在會住在家裡只是一時權宜之計，假如之後存到錢就會毫不猶豫地搬出去，因此對於家裡的一切似乎也都沒太在意。

1-2 假如是雨天的情境下，又有什麼改變呢? 雨衣就先隨便丟在陽台欄杆上，雨傘就直接掛在陽台上，我很討厭這種潮溼感，假如全身都濕掉我會先把襪子脫掉，再逃到廁所，把東西先暫時放在廁所外，再洗腳，洗完才把東西放到房間。

1-2 假如是雨天的情境下，又有什麼改變呢?

基本上就是把雨傘撐開來晾在家門前方停機車的地方吧! 如果有穿雨衣的話那邊也會有衣架可以讓我們晾雨衣。其他的就不太會變。

大致上差不多，但媽媽會把鑰匙掛在玄關櫃裡面的鑰匙掛上。 1-3 家人回家的行為大概又如何呢?

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢?

1-3 家人回家的行為大概又如何呢? 大致上跟我差不多，晚上比較晚的話就會把鐵捲門關上，如果有人會更晚回家，就會留外面的燈給他。爸爸會要求自己的東西要自己收好，所以我們家比較不會有東西亂擺，就算有亂擺也不會有人去收，但是隔天會有人要被念了。

我高中大多比較希望家裡沒有人欸，因為這樣就可以做些見不得人的事情惹^.<。假如希望家裡有人大概都是肚子餓吧。

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢?

1-3 家人回家的行為大概又如何呢? 老爸會特別整理鞋子，大家基本上都會把自己的東西放到自己房間，我們間頗為規律。

就是很放鬆吧!不用再去多想甚麼事情做了甚麼事情沒做，回家就可以好好休息，好像可以把自己交給這個家一樣。

2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

晚上我樓下就會看有沒有燈亮，但真正關鍵是開鐵門的時候，假如有反鎖就代表沒人了。因為家裡很小，大家時間也很規律，大概也很容易猜想誰在家。

沒有問到。

2012.11.22 0-0 家庭組成和婆婆、老公、阿姨、和兩個高中小孩同住 0-1 住宅類型? Layout? 五樓透天 0-2 家庭氣氛如何? 由於爸爸和媽媽要開專藝輸出店，作息時間大概都是凌晨兩三點到早上十點睡覺，工作時間從中午到近午夜，因此平日要見到小孩機會不太多，據老闆娘說，大概就只有晚上回家裝便當的時候可以簡單和小孩聊一下天。假日會很認真和小孩在一起，可以的話也會多多出去玩，看來應該是不錯，但是老闆娘有特別提到該罵的時候就會罵，有一次回家裝便當的時候，在樓下看到整棟就只有二樓燈有亮，而那邊就是主要婆婆和小孩的生活樓層，很開心蹦蹦跳跳的上去(並呼叫家人的名子)時，發現兒子有點異樣地躺在床上，心中大概猜到是偷玩電腦被抓到，就直接問他「剛剛是不是有偷玩電腦?」，小孩達三次沒有，就直接甩巴掌了。她說第一沒開燈殘害勢力，第二說謊話，從那次之後，所有這類事情報備就和爸爸說就好，而老闆娘有疑問直接找爸爸問。由此可見嬤嬤應該在這個家庭比較是黑臉的腳色，而其他長輩都比較疼愛小孩一些。 1-1 你回家的經驗如何? 流程是甚麼? 正常時間回家大多會蹦蹦跳跳的(如0-2)，但一般日因為作息時間偏差其實比較沒有機會。 2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢? 老闆娘十分在乎家，他在回答這個時候，他一直和他爸媽都有很好的感情，結婚後有一次和爸爸大吵一架，第一次掛爸爸電話，自己當下有點後悔，而在老家的菲傭也有說爸爸當下十分憤怒和難過，因此有好一陣子完全斷絕了聯絡，直到決定把全家老小一起帶回娘家，「總不會把全家趕走吧?」回老家時，老爸正好在外買東西，就直接在老爸快回家的路上奔跑撒嬌，而老爸只說:「回來就好!」算是消弭了一次紛爭。她和自己父母無話不談，在爸媽離開時也因此不帶有任何遺憾，畢竟生死有數，但她已經把能做的都做完了，她也是用這種心態經營家庭，因此回家大概就是母愛的發揮了。 2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

會特別從樓下看幾樓的燈有亮，略知一二。 3-1 作息差別

由於爸爸和媽媽要開專藝輸出店，作息時間大概都是凌晨兩三點到早上十點睡覺，工作時間從中午到近午夜，因此平日要見到小孩機會不太多，據老闆娘說，大概就只有晚上回家裝便當的時候可以簡單和小孩聊一下天。假日會很認真和小孩在一起，可以的話也會多多出去玩。(見0-2) 3-1 作息差別

2-1 對於"家裡有人在家"，有怎樣的感受和經驗呢? 同上。

2-2 是透過甚麼行為去看"家裡有人在家"呢?

白天的話就是一定會有人在家，晚上的話就是看鐵捲門有沒有拉下來。再來就是看機車跟家裡的燈，家裡沒人的時候燈會全部關起來。

1 Mirror Clock It is simply a clock hanging on the wall of hall way or living room at home, making it easier to check the time when around. If there is a need to take a look in the mirror, the clock display will automatically disappear when standing in front of it several seconds.

Other than adsorbing objects, the round magnets are also a key rack. We can learn if our family are at home or not when we put the key in the corresponding colored board.

As we tried to build a nice scene in our house, we also wanted to make the whole process of passing by this place to be much more fluent. We can be more efficient to be prepared and get out, and immediately feel the care from family when we get home.

The power is hard to control when they assist patients to wear the mask. The flexible mask could be a solution.

The design started from the bad communication between care giver and receiver. The power is hard to control when they assist patients to wear the mask. The flexible mask could be a solution. When the mask transformed drastically, it is means its too tight. The organic forms are good for it, so we made clay model to learn the way of forming.

Forming Testing

Function Testing

The flat shape with holes was the final decision because of its obvious deformation. Testing Process

The flat shape with holes was the final decision after the clay model testing because of its obvious deformation. To make the model, by using laser cutting, we can get the acrylic the shape. Then making it into the cavity by plaster, infusing the silica gel into it, waiting for a while. We can get a flexible model with the shape with holes. VIA | Industrial design

This design started from Persona: G.I Joe is an industrial engineering consultant. He has stayed in China for long time from factory to factory. In general situation, he stays in a humble dorm provided by customers. Because of his job requirement, he needs to care about his appearance. His shirts will be ironed when he calls back home every night. After doing this task, he can take rest. Image board shows the thing that he might interesting in. Warm Reminder | Industrial design

The two ways to create a new steam iron design.

Essense Design 本質設計

The iron in the middle called “Invisible iron”. It is heated by micro oven fitting the life style of individual or small family. I am stunned by such delicate design. Initially, I think it is a kind of subtraction design. But when I try to think that, It is hard to develop a new design different from the original type. Then I realize the failure of the subtraction design. We always

Subtraction design 減法設計

need to design a product with all aspect, however, by its way, designer are constrain by the current products. So another way was here: Starting from the “essence”, figure out the most important points of a product, then compare to the past and current types, there are more possibilities.

Warm Reminder | Industrial design

In order to solve the basic problem of steam iron, add a roller and light.

Steam iron is so dangerous that needed to change because of its hot iron. Once it is placed in wrong place, an innocent person would be hurt. In this design, the exposed area is reduce to minimum. And avoiding misunderstanding the temperature, the light is placed on the handlebars. If user doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it for long time, the light will also twinkle.

Interview

嗨岱君這是嘰咕的工業設計問卷:) 這次希望和你討論「骨頭」的看法。也許在吃便當、合菜的時候，會遇到處理骨頭的疑惑，要丟哪裡?怎麼處理我想先請問你這部分的感受，另外我也設想了幾個情境，想請問你的看法。

Q1:請你先針對骨頭做些心理感受評斷?

Q4:你喜歡麥當勞嗎? 假如你以後吃飯都有這樣的盤子，可以隨意把骨頭丟到各處。請問你喜歡或不喜歡這樣的設計，為什麼呢?

也許不一樣的骨頭會有不同的感覺? 或是一群人吃飯或者一個人便當有甚麼心理感受的變化?

Q2:你喜歡這樣的處理嗎? 這是專門放骨頭用的紙墊。類似便條紙一樣，可以一張一張撕，你用完就可以把它包起來，眼不見為淨。請問你喜歡或不喜歡這個設計，為什麼呢?

Q3:你接受玩骨頭嗎? 這是上一個應用的延伸，部過你可以把骨頭丟到紙上和朋友互動。請問你喜歡或不喜歡這個設計，為什麼呢?

Q5:你喜歡骨頭拼盤嗎? 假如桌上有一個盤子正好可以拿來裝骨頭呢? 也許像是圖片這樣的盤子可以讓大家一同把骨頭丟上來，說不定可以變成一種新風景? 請問你喜歡或者不喜歡這個設計，為什麼呢?

Q6:你喜歡骨頭垃圾車嗎? 誰說丟骨頭只定點? 假如讓它像垃圾車到處跑呢? 請問你喜歡或者不喜歡這個設計，為什麼呢?

Find the opportunities to meet the expectation of technology trend and needs from people Discussion

It was a common issue that what is the value of industrial design in the technology world? In this topic, we wanted to find the opportunities to meet the expectation of technology trend and needs from people by finding the articles from the 3C magazines or academic researches. In our point of view, technologic device should fit in humanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular life, but not let them to learn. Secondly, based on the feature of cloud computing, every client device could be simplified as possible. Finally, multi-platform will be another important feature for this technology.

The tough problem was: why we need another mobile device when the mobile phones are everywhere. We concluded that only if the new one can be good at use in a specific situation, or it was not necessary. We found in a conference experience, every participants need to wait in line for register. In the event, everyone could get lots of business cards, hard to arrange.
