SPACE

Employees are always occupied with their work, l ive in a tense schedule l ikely 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 skil l, 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 br ief , actual ly the real laborious thing is preparation but not swimming itself.

Issue Introduction

SPACE

×

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.


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.

I invited swimmers, used to going to the swimming pool in the vicinity of my college, to fill out the questionnaires.

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.

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

2.Questionnaires

3.Personal experience(advanced)

• 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.

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.

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,

• Undo the zip

• Turn over the surface layers

developing several ways allowed swimmers take and put their toiletries and clothes easily in shower room, a narrow space.

I designed a new type of s t ructure, and d is t r ibuted the l imi ted space in to 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 fabr ic represents commen material, and the blue fabric represents water-resistant one.

• Do the zip, get extra space

In spite of that I have always been unfamiliar with sewing, I tr ied to mock up the f i rst 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.

Mockup

Till the final model released, the manufacturer and I had made 4 different prototypes, and there is the evolution.


Dry stuffs (inside)

Transpace is a bag designed for swimmers, which takes different demands of the procedure for going to swim into consideration.

1.

2.

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).

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.

Final Model

SPACE

Wet stuffs (outside)

In shower room mode, people’re allowed to directly take toiletries and swimsuit.In contrast, personal commodities, packed inside, would be keep from water.

In spite of that I have always been unfamiliar with sewing, I tr ied to mock up the f i rst 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.

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

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 e v e r y h a n d t o o l , u s a g e o f p e e l e r i s 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.

Issue Introduction

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.

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.

Analysis

SketchTo 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)

• Set for right-handed, not mandatory. • Keep clean, small contact area.

The blade is embedded in on the position blow the palm, and between thumb and index finger.

•

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.

2.

In this way, users would be less likely to feel uncomfortable even thought it easy and fun when they were peeling.

Put your index finger into the front hole of Wipe Peeler; meanwhile, put middle finger and ring finger into the back one.

Image that you are wiping the object going to be peeled, and let the blade move on the surfave of the object.

Final Model

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

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.

Issue Introduction

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.


Like most Eest-Asian countries, Taiwanese feed on r ice, which harvest 2-3 times a year.

•

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.

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC•

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.)

•

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.

Analysis

Tie up•

The structure does not allow the birds not able to climb, such as sparrows, to enter.

•

Straw is one of the materials that birds use

to bu i ld a nest so b i rds wouldn ' t be

disgusted by it. The entire nest is made by

waving and tying, without any artificial

m a t e r i a l s a n d a b l e t o b e 1 0 0 %

decomposed

Sketch


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.

Mockup

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.

• 2012 ADA(Asia Designers Assembly) Workshop - Smile of the East

The theme of this workshop was "Smile of the

East", we have to work with the team composed of

s tudents f rom Japan, Korea and Ta iwan.

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 f inal presentat ion approached, the

relationship between every teammate became

tenser. Fortunately, with the help of rational

communication and professional teamwork, we

went through the hoop and acquired a fantastic

work. By the way, I achieved a "Friendship" award

because I con t r ibu ted to lubr ica t ing the

communication within the team.

1. Some records of the workshop.

2. The concept comes from the term "share",

one universal value of an oriental family.21


Disposable tableware plays an important and

irreplaceable role of Asian night markets. Most of

them are made of PET or PP, and piled up densely

in order to be transported. However, because of

that, it is difficult for people to distinguish if they

take two spoons at one time, a kind of wasting of

resource. Therefore, we propose two changes in

an attempt to solve this problem.

Produce two colors, and pile them up alternately.

So it allows people to see clearly.

Replace the current material with PLA, and

advocate that to leave this tableware along with

leftover after using it. PLA is a kind of material that

could be decomposed naturally, and leftover with

microbe and proper temper is just the appropriate

condition for this tableware to be decomposed.

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.

LAWAI is a factory which has been producing

stainless steel components by centrifugal casting

achievement of centrifugal casting tubes. Today

these tubes have been used in various industries

in Taiwan and other foreign countries. The fields

of application include automotive, petrochemical,

valve, steel and energy industry...etc.

To cater the needs of abroad business, I was

asked to re-create the image of the local factory

with brief, professional and international features.

So, I use grey, which sets the tone of reliable and

safe, as basis, and use orange, which symbolizes

the heat and passion, as decoration. This case

includes banner, business card, envelope,

catalog, DM and so forth.
