The Collective Analogue, bring emotions into our digital lives

The Collective Analogue, bring emotions into our digital lives

Mr. Xingyu Du

Introduction

The mature theory explains that “emotion and emotion” are the subjective experience and corresponding behavioral response of people’s attitude towards objective external things, which reflects the relationship between the needs of the subject and objective external things. Emotion and emotion have three components, unique subjective experience, external
1
expression and physiological awakening. In the vast majority of cases, people are talking about “Individvide’s self-feeling of different emotions”.
But nowadays, the “digitalization” of the world makes people’s emotions less pure, and some people in the age group who can’t keep up with “digitalization” are forgotten, resulting in some family emotional problems. At family gatherings, many family members will be immersed in digital devices. Those traditional forms of entertainment are gradually forgotten, but in fact, “unplug-in games” are a good means of entertainment to increase their feelings. This article creates a card game by studying the gameplay and design of many board games. Let people have one more game as an option when they get together.

Conclusion

After exploring the stories and gameplay behind many traditional games, we analyzed the “non-digital” characteristics of these games and improved their gameplay and settings. Using graphic design, semiotics knowledge, and some emotional theories, a desktop card game was successfully created. After experimenting with this game, good feedback was obtained. During the test, it did enhance the pleasant atmosphere of the party at that time. As a

“unplugged game”, it increases the real interaction of players. The rules of the game are simple and easy to understand, providing an additional entertainment game option for family gatherings. The feedback from the tester also said that the size of the card is easy to carry, and it is very convenient to play the game. Even novice players can quickly understand the rules of the game and start the game.
Of course, it is really meaningful to use artistic design to solve problems; design is people- oriented. After completing this design, I also realized that many “irreversible” changes have taken place in today’s society. COVID-19 has made us communicate, and traveling and gathering relatives and friends have become a risky behavior. I look forward to my design. After the world slowly returns to normal, friends/family may entertain face to face.
Feel the emotions that can be touched by reaching out…………….After exploring the stories and gameplay behind many traditional games, we analyzed the “non-digital” characteristics of these games and improved their gameplay and settings.

Yiying Du

Introduction

Inthisprojectaseriesofstudiesandexperimentswereperformed to explore the approaches to connect traditional regional culture in my hometown to modern lifestyle. Design researches were carried out to understand individual interests in culture as well as relevant products, and figure out the current problems existing in the market. The result shows that lack of creativity, universality, adaption, function and resonance decreases individual preference on culture and its relevant products. Based on the study of four representative cultural heritages, cultural values were converted into design concept and via material and technique experiments, the application of ethnical craftsmanship such as tie- dye to contemporary design practice was explored. A collection of products for houseware and home décor were designed to integrate modern design with traditional local culture.

Conclusion

Via research and experiment, this work explores the possibility of applying traditional folk culture into contemporary design including both the cultural concepts and craftsmanship. According to the design research, lack of creativity, universality, adaption, function and resonance is the common problem of current culture-related products. The concept of design is proposed based on the study of representative local heritages and comprehensive understanding of the values behind them. Material and technique experiments enable the conceptual transition of regional craftsmanship such as tie-dye to modern design practice and the study of new approaches in ceramic making. Overall, the work focuses on the folk culture of my hometown, aiming at connecting it to everyday life and investigating the possible methods to conduct traditional folk craftsmanship out of its original or historical context and endow it with new purpose and application which can enable it to fit in modern lifestyle.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

This project aims at providing a possible direction to combine traditional culture into modern lifestyle, designing a collection of products that functions in everyday life, conveys cultural values in a creative way, reinterprets folk craftsmanship and fulfills people’s demands to combine contemporary aesthetics with classic legacy.

Process or Methods

Based on a survey and interview to figure out individual interests and knowledge on culture, an investigation on the current culture-related market, as well as a study on local cultural heritages, the design process starts from a series of experiments on materials and techniques through which I set my main material as clay and intended to apply tie-dye into ceramics. Texture experiments were carried out to convert traditional tie methods used in local tie-dye into the making process of clay and firing experiment were conducted to convert dyeing process in tie-dye into modern ceramics. Design concept was built on the basis of values in folk culture and discussed the fluidity between ‘man-made’ and ‘natural’.

Gift Box Design

Gift Box Design

YuanJun Xiong

Introduction

Review the traditional gift packaging picking process, people usually need to invest time, money, and effort to find the perfect match for their selective gift, the lack of appropriate concise and clear way on the market of packaging to allow customers to “one-step” to complete those steps, but today, in the field of design development is diversified and prosperous, design can do more. By merging the concept of gift box and the gift itself, give the new-style “gift box” the mission of conveying emotion, according to different types of emotional requirements to accurately express. Moreover, “gift box” become no longer a disposable item, it’s something that can be passed from hand to hand to bring people closer, and has more sentimental function and value. 

The concept of pattern design came from the psychotextiles experiment, which makes the “gift box” has a clear, distinctive, and designated connection between the giver and the recipient. It expresses and speaks the will of the giver that is suitable for multiple occasions, even if it is “ineffable”. This premium positioning gift box provides additional emotion influence function and with letter cards to maximize the capacity of expression and communication, making it have more specific and profound value on the basis of enhancing social relations in the gift box. Makes people reach a more intimate, close, and tacit understanding level.

Conclusion

Through an in-depth study of relevant information that explores a way to influence different emotions through texture, in the meantime, combines the profound meaning behind the gift-giving behavior, so as to achieve a change in the relationship between the giver and the recipient, and enhance the intimacy of people’s social relations. And solve the problem of normal gift boxes being limited and pattern stereotyped. on the other hand, increase the sense the participation of gift box for the giver. to the recipient, gift packaging is no longer a disposable item, they can through using the letter card to the next person to want to send a gift to convey information again, and is not restricted by the space of the gift box, Recipients can choose from small to medium- sized gifts that can be accommodated by transforming the box. This new way of gift box design can be applied to either positive or negative occasions and changeful structure to form more unexpected and interesting effects. Currently, psychotextiles are only used in a few areas such as fabric. This research combines it with the concept of gift box packaging to create an innovative and disparate result. modern design realized the possibility of solving multiple problems at once and making people’s life to have more convenient and expectations.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

The study aimed to explore the diversity value of the gift box, so as to expand the function of the product.

1. Using certain texture to achieve the goal of influencing people’s emotion

2. By using gift boxes to help people who are unwilling and to express emotion face to face with others to convey feelings

3. Increase the sense of participation of the giver in the process of preparing gift-giving

4. Recycling product

5. Diversified gift box structure and convenient storage

Process or Methods

Combine with the key information in the research, the gift box should be an object that integrates words, and geometric figures, from which an emotional message can be extracted and passed to the receiver. I designed the gift box in two aspects: the design of the letters as a function of emotional expression, and the design of the pattern of the gift box as a major part of emotional influence.
Based on the research of psychotextiles, the design used the characteristics of repetitive and non-repetitive patterns to design two kinds of gift boxes, “calm” and “passion”, which were applied to the emotions of the gift recipients. The second part of the letter card design uses the same research content, utilize the exciting emotional process of people using words to express themself to the recipient, designed a series of letter cards for people to complete the self-expression desire in the process of giving gifts.

Techniques and materials

This paper discusses the functions, aesthetics, advantages, and disadvantages of three kinds of paper materials, makes attempts to analyze, and further compares their thickness, defects, and other details for evaluation. Finally, choose coated paper as the most preferred one between ordinary A4 paper and corrugated pape.

Immersive Healing in Virtual Reality

Immersive Healing in Virtual Reality

Wongsakorn Kanchanapathum

Introduction

In the present day, technology has deeply integrated into our everyday lives and has many advantages and disadvantages too. The author wishes to take the positive side of easily available and affordable technologies and apply them to people with the same symptom with which the researcher is faced. That is, the symptom is connected to a form of severe anxiety disorder as well as stress of people caused by modern work life affecting their mental health. The researcher has found possibilities of using virtual reality (VR) as a tool to help heal people the stress and to help those suffering from severe anxiety disorders to heal themselves such as PTSD or AUTISM. The medical fraternity is already applying advanced versions of VR to this end, but the aim of this project is to reach out to everyday lives of people and allow them the satisfaction to develop customizable solutions to suit their needs. This technology is used in the medicine, but it is not as widely used as the gaming industry, movies and animation

Conclusion

This project was to let the players understand the feelings of the mental disorder group through interpreting objects and spaces within the virtual world, more or less depending on the player. In addition, it is also to heal the player in terms of understanding and empathy that they really feel this way. Because this group of people deserves the right treatment. People who already understand they may become even more accessible. Those who never understand may become more aware. The interpretation also depends on the person’s accessibility.
For the user who is mental disorder. This project will heal with colour therapy. It composes of various colours that have different tone. Colour therapy gives users positive feelings such as encouragement, relaxation, and enthusiasm.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

1. Allows the users to explore the experience, environment, and atmosphere to the world of people with abnormal mental states

2. Understand their thoughts through interpretations that use the space and shape of things as meaningful objects.

3. Heal users with understanding and empathy to a group of people with an abnormal mind to perform properly.

Process or Methods

VR Virtual Reality is one of the most talked-about technology trends in recent times. Although it is not a new technology it has attracted attention because now it seems that the technology has entered a phase where it can be used. However, accessing VR technology is not easy as the devices are expensive and they are not necessary for everyday life.
Therapy such as group therapy reducing stress and anxiety also started to turn their attention to VR Therapy, but with not enough trials in the control group, it is still impossible to conclude how effective VR therapy is.

Colours are all around us. Colour therapy uses these powers of colour to heal, energize, and soothe us. Colour therapy is an alternative therapy that uses colours and their frequencies to heal physical and emotional problems within the human body. Colour therapy is also known as chromopathy, chromotherapy, or colour healing. The goal of colour therapy is to correct physiological and psychological imbalances in the human body.

Movie Therapy affect many of us powerfully because the combined impact of images, music, dialogue, lighting, sound, and special effects can elicit deep feelings and help us reflect on our lives. They can help us to better understand our own lives, the lives of those around us, and even how our society and culture operate.
To design the movie therapy, the author was inspired by two movies namely, Avatar which is about adventure and explore in alien planet, Alice in wonderland is about the story of a young girl named Alice, who plunges into a rabbit hole and enters an underground fantasy world full of bizarre human-like creatures. It’s a movie that has a storyline based on a novel.
From the starting spawn point. Users can have three alternative choices for their exploration. The colour of the sea, with its dark and pale stripes, is the scar that is deeply embedded in the flow of thoughts and minds that will never heal.

In terms of colour therapy:
Orange colour signifies abundance, pleasure, well-being, and sexuality. Orange may be used to stimulate different organs in the human body for physical healing. It revitalizes you and gives you increased mental energy. It can increase your feeling of connectedness between your mind and body. (Galyen, 2020)

Techniques and materials

1 Study the Virtual Reality Program (VR)
2 Study the theory of colour therapy and medical-related psychology. A set of colours are selected to represent the subconscious part of people.
3 Make a VR treatment using the Unity program inspired by a set of movies, Avatar and Alice in wonderland.
Internally, various factors such as colours and objects were used to get more immersive and understanding. Moreover, some the principles of medical-related psychology were incorporated to aim the healing a target group.

The Added Value of Renovation

The Added Value of Renovation.

Assist. Prof. Dr. Narupol Chaiyot

Introduction

This project describes the conversion from rental apartment to hotel, a process that avoids demolition of existing structures by utilizing its potential to repurpose and reuse buildings, thus avoiding expenditure and unnecessary loss of raw materials, resources and energy. Usually, these imposing buildings were placed in central locations and were well-connected to the touristic area. This article reveals an apartment building which has become a modern hotel, as an example of urban transformation and modern coexistence. The design concept adapted the existing structure with a minimum of demolition and maximizing its opportunities through an adaptive room layout. While using the existing form, the overall exterior was modernized through the use of tempered glass balconies and an abundant use of black composite. This property was originally built in 1998 in the Nimmanhaemin area, Chiangmai District. As rental apartments, it offered both short-term and long-term stay, and functioned as such until 2016 when it was renovated as a hotel. As the Nimmanhaemin neighborhood underwent development into a significant touristic area in Chiangmai, the building remained slightly behind until it was picked up and renovated into a hotel that would cater to both international and domestic tourists. Nowadays BED Nimman hotel offers an experience for travelers who want to stay in the modern urban areas of Chiangmai. In this convenient location the hotel was renovated and now includes state-of-the-art amenities and features a swimming pool, multiple-common areas, and a clean design. This case study provides valuable lessons in repurposing the potential of existing buildings and validated the possibilities of Clean Design to contribute to building environment

Conclusion

As shown in BED Nimman Hotel, the method of renovation is optional to newly-built construction projects, especially when the concept is to transform the pre-existing context of an apartment building into a modern hotel that fits nowadays tourist behaviors. The final impact is the combined result of architects and the GM, intensive consultation with project and hotel staff and a constant attention to the news of guests. The realization and design guidelines of BED Nimman Hotel (2017) were directly connected with previous experience gained during the renovation of BED Phasingh Hotel (2015) and BED Changkian Hotel (2014). It seems as though the function of existing buildings in the city is rather significant, and their importance continues to increase. This project can be useful when assuming similar cases in the future: renovation of existing buildings and redesign to add property value and guests’ satisfaction.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

The purpose of this project is to renovate a rental apartment into a hotel that caters to the modern hospitality industry. Its overall aim is to enhance services, enrich the tourist destination itself and create an experience for both domestic and international travelers. As the repurposed building in this case study aims to cater to modern-day travelers, the design has to reflect the lifestyle and behaviors of its users and their associated expectations. As such the design uses a minimum of decoration and form, focusing instead on understanding the essential functions of modern hotels. Located in the vibrant Nimmanhaemin area, the design of the hotel and the market segment is consistent with the nature of its urban context. The project embodies a different and cost-effective design approach that benefits both the increased demand for tourist accommodation and the decreased demand for rental apartments. The project aims to reduce the typical construction time from 18 months for new structures, to 6 months for conversion. At the same time the project aims to reduce the investment from 150 million Thai Baht for a new building to 30 million Thai Baht for the conversion process. The renovation project is to achieve the following objectives:

Aesthetic – The appearance provides a new look without changing the layout of the original space but includes repainting walls, adding the vertical metal frames, tempered glass, new floors, and changing the overall design. This renovation used the pre-existing aspects instead of rebuilding them.
Enhanced Room Design Layout – Altering the design of the 3 room types involved moving appliances and sinks to create a better and more efficient layout. The triangle concept was used in the layout: sink to the cupboard to the toilet and back to the sink.
Redirected Traffic – Changing the flow of traffic in the lobby area included adding additional doorways, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and communal breakfast tables, resulting in more efficiency and a more spacious look.
Increased Space – To enlarge working space, kitchen areas were incorporated in the main lobby and fixtures and appliances were rearranged. This resulted in more space and an increased multi-functional area, whilst increasing the usefulness of lobby space.
Expanded Outward Area – This was the most extensive part of the renovation project, as it involved adding additional leisure space. This was achieved by combining interior and exterior functions in the same area. The swimming pool area completely changed the flow and design of the breakfast area, as well as the overall perception. It also created additional opportunities for guests to relax in a more appropriate atmosphere.

Process or Methods

BED Nimman hotel was constructed to rehabilitate, reconfigure, and add value to the property. The project includes a new exterior façade whilst maintaining the original structure, new bathrooms, redesigned hotel room interior spaces, an expanded lobby area, and provides additional guest facilities. Construction activities included technology upgrades to improve connectivity, security, control, and leisure functions. In general, architectural renovations are relatively inexpensive compared to the significant engineering cost of newly constructed projects. The hotel was able to execute the renovation activities with minimum disruption for the surrounding area. The construction time was 6 months and completed according to schedule. This methodology requires careful planning, budgeting, and financing by integrated plan in order to save time and money.

Techniques and materials

As this hotel involved an already existing building, the possibilities of adaptation were somewhat limited due to the post-tension structure and the regulatory building codes. It was possible to meet the requirements despite the fact that the existing functions were designed for long-stay guests. The original layout maintained the same floor plan, whereas the walls between the rooms were made sound proof. The design of the hotel rooms anticipated a solution which brought about associations with modern hospitality: elevations finished with decorative profiles of black metal and composite paneling, the black and white interior created an atmosphere of simplicity yet relaxation A contemporary reinterpretation of appearance in the elevation was carried out on a part of the existing building from all sides. It was created using less decoration to give it a more minimalistic character. As a result, all of the design is consistently different from its existing character and guest rooms now feature large windows,

The Greatest Slope Line.

The Greatest Slope Line.

Mr. Nattaphong Sripungwiwat

Introduction

The Greatest slope line is an art exhibition and design works relating to the philosophy
of security and uncertainty. The artwork represented the shape of a simple-modern of large
building that could had been destroyed by nature natural disasters or by mankind (war). The
falling downed structure that have displayed the unsecured place and cannot be utilized by
public. The red ropes are represented pillars that supported the structure which prohibit the
building to collapsed which can relate to the concept of instability- unperfect of life.

Over time the stability has also turned to shaky and been worthless because of the
uncertainty of future management that is unprepared and unstable.

Stability, in other words, being stable in various fields, a state of feeling secure, carefree,
and protected from various dangers might happen on purpose or by chance. The stability of life
is common in every people that often think of wealth because when money comes, welfare, safety and convenience come to life too. Sometimes mental stability of mind is overlooked. Although there is a lot of money, if the mind is full of anxiety, fear, agitation, feeling depleted, insatiable, lacking in happiness and peace, it is hard to feel that life is stable.

Uncertainty is difficult to expect. It can happen suddenly, unexpecting and out of control.
However, physical instability is the uncertainty of life, wealth or mental instability. It is a sudden
thought whether it’s positive or negative thoughts and often arises from other people
unexpectedly.

Therefore, change and uncertainty of life is a human encounter. People will need to
except and understand the changes in order to have stability in life. We need to learn how to
handle uncertainty in every day.
As we know uncertainty can happen in every minute. The most important is we need to except
and let is process of living and grateful for what you have.

Conclusion

Objectives Aims or Purposes

Presenting the concept of stability and uncertainty through artwork to create abstract
concept because of uncertainty is the true truth. Preparing and handle with uncertainty can also achieve lasting stability.

This artwork shows the sloped building and cannot be used to live representing the uncertainty of all things in this world. Red and white twisted ropes bracing the building show sensitivity and uncertainty. Psychological of red color represents danger, and white color
represents sensitivity which can also be seen as a sloping line that holds the sloping building.

Uncertainties can arise to us every day and every time without any predictability.
Consequently, we should not beunderestimate.

Process or Methods

– Cut the paper to create a model of the building and the foundation of the building.
– Position the model building at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground level of the model base.
– Stick the workpiece, paper, balsa wood and plastic sheet with glue on the base of the model.
– Use a rope to tie a knot gluing along the corners of the building with the base of the model vertically to show the gradient of height and lines of greatest slope.

The Creation of Ceramic Art
“Blooming Flowers”

Mrs. Katekarn Rattanachoul

Introduction

In nature, everything exists for mutual benefit. It is a dependency such as land, water, plants, wildlife, air, clouds, rain, etc. Everything acts in balance therefore mold and cause prosperity, creating integrity for natural ecosystems and appears to be the cycle of existence and habitation of various living things. From the above, The dependence was mentioned. It is an element of completeness in the cycle of nature, like rain caused by small water droplets, float against the heat and humidity in the air then a condensation reaction occurs forming water droplets that fell into the rain to moisture to nourish life on land. Seeds, saplings and small flowers grow into a big tree with beautiful blossoms. I saw the beauty of interdependence in nature where things cannot be alone therefore used as inspiration for creating the ceramic sculptures by the nature, lines of the rain, flower forms, The colors of rainbow and the surface of the land that become the main form of this creation to express an impression the dependence in the nature and It is the creation of new form according to my uniqueness

Conclusion

The Creation of Ceramic Art “Blooming Flowers” was created to convey the experience of emotions and impressions in the interdependence of nature. It is the creation of artworks in the form of ceramic sculpture by using natural forms that have been reduced as symbols, consisting of lines, colors, shapes – forms and adjusted to different sizes then put them together for harmoniously and created unity. The form and content of the artwork were expressing in simply way, uncomplicated, emphasizing to communicate with the audience directly to make them look back in the nature that are important to humans and all living things.

Process or Methods

1. Study and collect information
2. Analyze and summarize the information
3. Use the data obtained from the analysis to create sketch
4. Select and improve sketch5. Expand the sketch into a ceramic by sculpting the clay , Biscuit Firing and Glost Firing
6. Check and improve for complete the artwork
The creation of this ceramic art “Blooming Flowers” was inspired by the interdependence of nature. There are three distinctive areas of expression scope as follows:

1. The content, there is a transmission about the nature that is dependent on it. Expressing beauty and impression by reflects through the shape and form of things that exist in nature such as rain, flowers, rainbows and the land.
