SPACE Issue Introduction Employees are always occupied with their work, live in a tense schedule likely to build up pressure unconsciously. In this case, If they developed a proper exercise habit, it would not only help to fit the body but also help to release the pressure. The problem is, what exercise should people choose? Considered in terms of allotment of time, risk of damage, requirement of skill, demand of opponent, and possibility of taking in long terms, swimming is the appropriate option which features low skill requirement, suitability for all age, and free time allotment brought by that it allowed single to do.
However, it always reminds people of complex procedure and chaos when they think about swimming, including a lot of equipment, and some of them would be wet in the process. In brief, actually the real laborious thing is preparation but not swimming itself.
Ă—
The issue and the consequent problems mentioned above lead to this project - to design a specific sport bag for swimmers, which would contain some changes of swimmers’ using experiences, and new structure of bag. I intend to solve the problem appearing in the process of going to swim, shorten the time we spend on preparing, and let people can simply enjoy the pleasantness of swimming.

Analysis To begin with, this project targets at well-defined users - swimmers. In hopes of collect sufficient informations, there were 3 strategies used to gather data from different views. 1.Personal experience At first, through my own swimming experience, I inferred the situation, and came up with some problems or inconveniences. Then, based on these materials, I designed a very friendly questionnaires in order to confirm the way of my thinking.
2.Questionnaires I invited swimmers, used to going to the swimming pool in the vicinity of my college, to fill out the questionnaires. 3.Personal experience(advanced) During the stage of prototyping, I had gone to swim in person for about three weeks in order to test the model, and, more important, in order to find some negligences missed when I was not playing a role as a swimmer.
• I had investigated what are people tend to use to pack their swimming commodities.
• Exeeding 73% of participants considered swimming pool’s shower rooms are inconvenient, and their reasons were recorded.
plastic bag
because of structure of shelf
handbag
because of position of shelf
backpack
because of shower
knapsack(slanting)
because it's narrow
shoulder bag
because it's unclean
blanket
I broke out the process of swimming into 9 steps, and found that people need to go back and forth between store room and shower room except the time when they’re swimming.
After contemplating every possibility, I counted the step 2 and step 8 as redundant, devoting myself to design a bag easy for people to utilize directly in shower room.
Sketch Since the main point of this project was not the shape, I just focused on the interaction among bag, shelf, and individual in this process,
Further Sketch I designed a new type of structure, and distributed the limited space into three respective functions - for packing the dry, the wet, and the temperary. The sketches illustrate how to manipulate this bag and the consideration for water-resistance. Among these sketches, the black fabric represents commen material, and the blue fabric represents water-resistant one.

Mockup In spite of that I have always been unfamiliar with sewing, I tried to mock up the first prototype in person after searching expertises from books. Right after the first prototype was finished and discussed, I started to refine details such as size, profile, and material, etc.
The following prototypes were outsourcing, but it didn’t mean I relaxed my efforts. Actually, till the final model released, the manufacturer and I had made 4 different ones (excluded the first model mentioned above), and each of them had its own adjustments and amendments.
Till the final model released, the manufacturer and I had made 4 different prototypes, and there is the evolution.

SPACE Final Model Transpace is a bag designed for swimmers, which takes different demands of the procedure for going to swim into consideration.
Dry stuffs (inside)
1. Consisted of two parts - space to store dry stuffs and that to store wet stuffs - it helps swimmers systematically pack their toiletries and swimsuit (those may get wet) as well as personal commodities (those may keep from water).
Wet stuffs (outside)
2. With simple manupulation, Transpace would be shifted to shower room mode. In shower room mode, it not only provides an extra space to put clothes (temporary demand) but also provides convenient space for swimmers to take shower. Moreover, it totally becomes water-resistent in this mode.
In shower room mode, people’re allowed to directly take toiletries and swimsuit. In contrast, personal commodities, packed inside, would be keep from water.
→ →→ →
Shifted to shower room mode, it would be second times bigger and able to pack clothes.
3. With Transpace, swimmers can skip the first step - going to store room, putting thier personal commidities, and taking thier swim suit - of the procedure for going to swim. Instead, they can go to shower room directly
then put on thier swimsuit, and so do in the converse process. Therefore, this bag would simplify the procedure for going to swim, and save swimmers a lot of time.

2010 / Peeler Design Academic Personal Project
Issue Introduction This is a proposal of new type hand tool, which allowed invention, redesign, and improvement of any product manipulated with hands. Among uncountable number of those belong to every hand tool, usage of peeler is thought-provoking. In spite of that the gesture of holding the peeler is quite strange, getting so accustomed to it, people seldom regard this gesture as weird. To improve the current usage, which has been adopted and rarely changed for a long time, I would like to put a high value on interaction between palm and object peeled, emphasis the flow of peeling, create an intuitive method of manipulation, and try to make a peeler available to people who hasn’t had any practice.
Analysis There are many types of peeler out on the market, and each of them has its unique feature of usage. The usage of a same peeler
even changes with different people’s analyses and habits. However, most of usages are tend to require practice.
CHEN YU HSUAN PORTFOLIO 2014
Analysis To precisely realize the action of peeling, I gave every peeler accessible to me a try, and found that some certain gesture of peeling would cause unconfortableness to palm as well as arm. The sketches showed above indicate two examples out of such gestures.
Above: Letting the palm side down would make it easier and more comfortable for people to move their hand. Below: Keeping the wrist horizontally straight would be more easily than bending it.
Sketch To sum up, “Wipping” might be the good choice to represent an intuitive and simple hand action, and it’ s also a good goal for peelers, expected to be manipulated more intuitively and simply, to achieve. The sketch placed on right hand illustrates the ideal gesture and movement of hand and effective area for blade to peel.
(In order to fit with fingers)
• The blade is embedded in on the
position blow the palm, and between thumb and index finger.
• Set for right-handed, not mandatory.
• Keep clean, small contact area.
Final Model Wipe Peeler is a peeler with new usage. It’ s distinctive shape allowed people to wear it on fingers and use it intuitively. The usage of Wipe Peeler is simply described below: 1. Put your index finger into the front hole of Wipe Peeler; meanwhile, put middle finger and ring finger into the back one. 2. Image that you are wiping the object going to be peeled, and let the blade move on the surfave of the object. In this way, users would be less likely to feel uncomfortable even thought it easy and fun when they were peeling.
Mock up To achieve the most appropriate form, I made models by PU(Polyurethane), a material features its plasticity. From the first model, made in the process of concept development, to the final one, there was an obvious change.
2010 / Environment Friendly Design Academic Personal Project • Taipei Industrial Design Award - Finalist • Taiwan Design EXPO
Issue Introduction I had studied in the third biggest city of Taiwan Taichung. One time when I was walking in the dense populated downtown, I saw an immature bird which falled from the tree and struggled to learned how to fly. There was another bird seemed to be its parents looking anxiously at it. At that moment, I was impressed by the vitality of these wild animals as well as the harsh environment that humans bring to them. Then an idea began to revolve around my mind - humans should do something about the situation as we convert the habitat of wild animals into the cities.
Influenced by the series of design relevant to birds of EVA SOLO, I decided to design a product which is not profit oriented. What I wanted to do was a proposal, centered on the term "mutualism", that allows people to benefit the nature. In other words, a product made out of natural material, with simple manufacture procedure and does not cause any harm to environment was needed.

Analysis In the previous time in Taiwan, rice straw was a kind of necessary which had various use such as feeding livestock, making shoes and cloak. However, as the prevalence of plastic stuffs and agricultural machinery, except for some straw used to make handicraft, most of them, nowadays, are either burned or buried. Under this circumstance, straw become an ideal material to make this product.
• Like most Eest-Asian countries, Taiwanese feed on rice, which harvest 2-3 times a year.
• There are many kinds of small
birds, whose size ranges from 10 to 15 cm, live around us. They build the nest on small trees or bushes. (The left one, the one I met on the street, is called Chinese bulbul, the other one is called White Eye.)
• The first harvest season in a year is from May to June, the other one is from October to November. On the other hand, the breeding season of wild birds is from March to July.

Sketch Straw is one of the materials that birds use to build a nest so birds wouldn't be disgusted by it. The entire nest is made by waving and tying, without any artificial materials and able to be 100% decomposed
• Tie up
• The structure does not allow the birds not able to climb, such as sparrows, to enter.

Mockup The model got polarized criticism, which mainly centered on whether it was proper to judge the model in terms of "standardization". In introspection, the model could be made better after further training, but I, indeed, lacked enough research of relative skills at that time.
Concept Whenever I think about the essential of design, it comes out with that taking care of life around us and have friendly relationship with the environment. As we build up our city, we destroy the habitat of wild animals living around us. To do something about this horrible situation, now we make a nest which is stronger and safer for them. Therefor, it is an artificial nest made out of natural materials and strong enough to protect birds from vital accidents.

The theme of this workshop was "Smile of the East", we have to work with the team composed of students from Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Although all of us major in design, the way of dealing things varies. The thing went well at the very beginning, but we encountered difficult time as we finished the mid-term presentation because the condition of inner communication turned foul. We decided to start over again and stayed up late
every night in order to keep up with the schedule. As the final presentation approached, the relationship between every teammate became

This stapler is equipped with staple remover and blade remover, and able to keep either the removed stables or removed blades within it. When it is full, just take off the magnet and pull them out. With this convenient and easy stapler, people no longer have to touch these dangerous stuffs when dealing with them.
