Introduction / The topic is “Design against Crime.� The professor asked us to design a product which can prevent the crime happening. He gave me an example which is a table that is combined with a stick and a shield. At the usual time, it is just a table but when you face the dangers, you can use it to resist the offender. He expected us to figure out some ways to solve the criminal problems in this world.

In order to connect the cloth which is cut from umbrella, I experimented with many materials. Considering four materials which are a zipper, Velcro, buttons, a billet, I used with the said ingredient with Incompleted Umbrella. According to the experiment, I found that not all the materials are convenient to connect the cloth. For example, It is extremely troublesome to use a zipper when you have many things to hold. Finally, I choose Velcro as my connection, because it is a soft material and easy to use. By pulling and dragging, Incompleted Umbrella could be separated and connected. Then, it helps you against the theft in the public area.

Introduction / Businesses have been putting a lot of thought into how to deal with climate change as well as minimize risk. This holds true whether they pursue “Blue Ocean” or “Red Ocean” strategies, in other words, focusing on developing new markets or cutting costs. Global citizens, for their part, also need to consider how long they can engage in an unbridled consumption of the planet’s resources. The Lite-On Award hopes to inspire a “Green Ocean” strategy, inspiring designers to tread lightly on the earth, co-existence with nature, and revitalize technology through ecological awareness. Living in the modern world means being flooded with convenient but far from environmentally sustainable products. The Lite-On Award invites designers to get back to the basics. Let’s think about how to breath new life into our products through green thinking. Let’s think about how to reconnect to the planet and keep it flourishing. Please join us! By joining hands, small streams of environmentally minded innovation can turn into mighty rivers, flowing towards a new, “Green” ocean. We hope to bring new light to the planet via the power of thinking green.

Introdiction / There is no differentiation between people and no national boundaries. The most beautiful and eternal value in this world is the beneficence found in every one of us. Design innovation should appeal to the righteousness in every global citizen, and this collective beneficence manifests itself in the power of design. Beneficent Design returns to the natural essence of life from initial design considerations to ecofriendliness. Emphasis on a humanistic affection and local cultural characteristics applied in the implementation of innovation means to love the earth and sustain life, provide the world with an abundance of technology and humanity with goodness and natural beauty.
Experiment / In order to search for the appropriate material for Rewarm, we have tried several ingredients. First, we give up the iron powder which is used for traditional body warmer because it is not reusable and thus is not environmental friendly. Then we find out that others would use red beans, rice, water and salt as the inside material. Therefore, we try the four materials. However, there are some disadvantages for them. The space between red beans is too big for maintaining the heat. And rice as well as water are also not the perfect ones to preserve the warmth. Compared to those materials, salt is the most suitable one due to the fact that it can reach to a high temperature within a short period of time. What’s more, if the quantity is large enough, the heat can be maintained for a long time. Plus, it is reheatable, cheap and easy to be accessed. From all of the advantages mentioned, salt becomes the main material of our product.
Internal Structure / 01 The material inside is silica gel which can be heated. 02 Salt is the main ingredient in silica gel. 03 The outer bag has aluminum foil layer which can avoid losing calorific capacity. 04 Drawstring bag design is convenient for taking the inside part out and put it into the microwave oven. 05 You can attach many Rewarms with the Velcro sewed around the outer bag.

Vagrants have to pass the chill winter in the underground passages. The government can provide Rewarm for the vagrants and cooperate with convenient stores. The vagrants can bring Rewarm to any convenient store to heat by a microwave oven. Put the inside part which is already heated in the outer bag. Then, Rewarm can bring them warmth. Rewarm can be attached to anywhere on your body by Velcro.

Introduction / The topic of project is using corrugated papers to make a chair. Without using gel, the professor asked us to make a chair which at least carried a person. We found mach information of chairs and researched their structure. What’s more, we had to choose a style that we wanted to use on our chair. For example, I chose the graphic of cirrus and use it on the surface of my chair. By the process of designing the chair, I learned how to connect the product with the image.

Statement / Use basic units to organize a chair. The style of chair is cirrus. It is very interesting to watch the chair from different sides. If you look from right side, you can find that the graphics turn light gradually. From another side, the color changes darker. It is not only a huge, but also a convenient chair. You can divide it into many units and combine them wherever you want.

Balcony Plan A balcony is the area between interior and outdoor. It makes people relax and extend recklessly. What’s more, it is also the best window to view the scenery of cities. The City Yeast stars from a balcony, conferring the possibility of this object. What will happen in the balcony? What kind of change should the balcony have? How to use this potential area? Through the balcony, we realize that the balcony is not only a personal area, a family area, but also a visual space of public. To explore the probability of the public area, the plan continues using creative design and considers the spirits of cities. It produces a possible dream for citizens.

Observation / With investigation, we know that the fans of Birkenstock would not only have a pair of Birkenstock. They are always fascinated to buy more and more Birkenstock. Although they have many shoes, they don’t maintenance them well. Some of them are moldy due to the damp weather. What’s more, the owners also ignore to maintain the leather. Some of leather is so dry that the surface is full of cracks. According the reasons, we design a shoe keeper especially for Birkenstock. We hope the lovers of Birkenstock would treasure their shoes.

Introduction / The teacher gave us a real exhibition held in National Taiwan Museum and requested us working as a true company to make a project for this camphor exhibition. We have to schedule the plan and so some visual advertisement. We worked in 6 people a group and had many chance to cooperate with each others. We schemed the paths which the visitors walked by, set up the illumination in the exhibition, and designed the style of whole exhibition. We also had a presentation to all the class. The teacher would stand the view of real company to judge our project. It made us know how to work in the real company in every detail.

At the first, we discuss various ways to show the camphor which is the main product in Taiwan. By brainstorming, there different ideas burst out. One of our favorite idea is that we use the image of camphor balls and decided the color of whole exhibition is white. Because we want to use some tricks to exhibit this traditional product. Giving up the oldfashion style in common museum, we had entire exhibition look extremely modern.

The State of Ideality Exgibition of Depatment of Industrial and Commercial Design at NTUST Participation_ Guide of exhibition Arrangement of exhibition
For various objects, everyone has different interest and need. In order to get the blueprint in our mind, we burst out some ideas of searching. Perhaps, it is crazy and irrelevant, or has a heavenly steed soaring across the skies. We always risk our life to try these ways which can reach the dreams. With regard to the Utopia in everyone’s mind. It displays the results of reality, and maybe completes the ideals, or there is still a distance. But, under the passion, insisting and persisting in, It grows out of nothing step by step. The works animated the value are not only a result. Whereas, it is the state of ideality which is linked closely by every step.
