Perspectives

Graduation Exhibition, Department of Creative Design

"Perspectives" was our graduation exhibition, which was a full year live project completed in May 2023. Our team curated five shows on campus and attended two design exhibitions in Taiwan, YODEX(young designers’ exhibition) and VGW (Vision Get Wild). As vice-co-ordinator and exhibition space designer of our graduation show, I led students to finish Installation and Dismantle, as well as designed exhibition plans for each show.

Developing Ideas

The Concept of Perspectives

At the beginning of our discussion, we began with three main ideas that could represent our generation. After further elaboration and brainstorming, we settled on perspectives as our curating theme.

“To transcend multiple dimensions to explore new horizons, and learn new things to experience new emotions.”

CTRL+

Online Exhibition of Integrated Creative Life Design CTRL+ was the exhibition for the third year of my bachelor's degree programme. Originally, this work was supposed to take place on campus.

Due to Covid-19, the university demanded that the majority of courses alter to online formats. We decided to transform the physical exhibition into a virtual one because of the risk of infection and decreasing number of activities on our campus. After evaluating current online display platforms, we determined that Gather Town was the best fit for us. We ultimately opted to host the exhibition online using Gather Town and Teams.

Gather Town

Before Presentation Day, students needed to complete their online display and bring models to DA204.

To decrease the danger of infection, each group visited the place at separate times. Students must attend the meeting through Gather Town on Presentation Day. Professors could see the online exhibition and digital work of each group from a projector, and were also able to examine physical pieces and provide immediate feedback via microphones.

• 3 Professors • Curtion team assist the implementation.

The Concept of CTRL+ As designers, we are constantly exploring, absorbing, and viewing the beauty of the world. We transform everything through design, creating new combinations, and replenishing creativity. Just like the CTRL key on the keyboard combined with different keys can produce different results. Therefore, different combinations in design can create unique flashes.

Designers have the same adaptability as the letters 'CTRL' and '+'.

To bring design and people closer together, we construct design using appealing and simple metaphors.

Display areas Sixteen groups were organized into three major themes: acculturation, rebirth, and sustainability. The three exhibition areas had a distinct visual design. One of the primary advantages of using Gather Town is the immersive experience of RPG games. We created NPC chat stories and questions based on themes and exhibits.

To make the exhibition area more consistent, I applied key visual design and icons into the lobby and main hall designs. Furthermore, because CTRL+ is based on the concept of keyboards, I made the lobby resemble a control center, with separate access to different sections.

The Renovation of Public Assembly Hall Design Proposal

The House of Citizen-memorial Hall of Attendance, an old Public Assembly Hall in Douliu City, has been through many changes and has been vacant for a long time in the history of Taiwan. The last thing that the local community wants to witness is such a gorgeous historic building covered in the dust. Therefore, our team brings out the renovation strategies based on its characteristics and historical value. With this design proposal, the venue will transform into a place where Douliu citizens can hold activities and enjoy gathering together.

Design Proposal

With an immersive antiquity experience as the core of the project, we redesigned this abandoned house into a grocery store where tourists can purchase souvenirs and refreshments. As for the architecture, we did not change any of the original characteristics, but instead rebuilt the path and back yard and added some lamps and benches.

Martian Immigrant Survival Project

• DURATION: Mar. - Apr. 2022 • DESIGNERS: SAN-MEI CHENG, FANG-YU LIU, MU-EN LIN, KUAN-YU LAI • MY POSITION: Robots design & 3D Visualization graphs and vedio

It is possible that humans will settle on Mars in the near future. People must meet their physiological demands in order to survive on this barren planet. As a result, our design is based on the most fundamental level of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory. With the goal of establishing an established water system, we created two types of robots to assist people in discovering water resources on Mars and came up with a design proposal for an autonomous water factory.
