NEW ROMANTICS

EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE ON VIRTUAL GAME SPACE

RESEARCH INTENTION GAME SETTINGS

The reason for making a space design with the theme of love is that it is omnidirectional to feel the atmosphere in a space from the first-person perspective.

The reason for this space to fall into the virtual environment of games is that the game is reversible, and the experience is stronger; and the virtual space can make people get wonderful senses.

SUBJECT RESEARCH

Through learning about actual romantic relationships in life and stories in literature, I got the research results of this project:

1. A relationship generally has five stages: the honeymoon period, the stable period, the period of potential conflicts, the period of fight, and the period of desparationir.

2. The order of a romantic experience depends on people;

3. The attitudes of and the choices made by both sides in the relationship will lead to different results.

Right: my visualized scenario of stages

At the beginning of the game, we come to a "big fog" interface, which looks like a second-order Rubik’s cube composed of eight small cubes. These eight cubes represent the five stages of emotion. Of course, it can rotate like a normal Rubik's cube. In the middle of "the magic cube" is a space of core axis, which is used to control the arrangement and combination of the peripheral blocks.

Take the gravity source of the plain attitude as an example: This is the most basic way to play.

Take the gravity source of positive attitude as an example: This is an unexpected way to play.

Take the gravity source of negative attitude as an example: This is the most complicated way to play.

THE HONEYMOON PERIOD

Ups and downs, romantic rendering

How to play: walk the winding glass road. Whether the overall trend is up or down depends on the player's initial decision.

Experience: the circling path reflects the mood and emotional fluctuation in the honeymon period; the filter with dreamy color represents the sweet feeling in the period of hot love.

MOUNTAIN ROADS

Conceptual collage

THE STABLE PERIOD

Common progress

How to play: two people cooperate with each other, combined with their own clues and the image of each other in the mirror, to find the right path to pass.

Experience: in this futuristic Aurora scene, there is a path frame towards the top of the mountain, which symbolizes the common goal; because of the mirror reflection on the frame, the two people will be inspired by the image in the mirror and make progress together.

Conceptual collage

THE STABLE PERIOD

Face threats together

How to play: there is a balance bar hanging in the middle of this "threat" city. Lovers need to trust each other back-to-back and balance on this difficult and dangerous road.

Experience: folded space represents social pressure or distortion; its cold scrap iron material and blue color contrast with the warmth of the backto-back game, expressing the mood of partners facing difficulties together in the stable period.

THE PERIOD OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

Social oppression

How to play: the cave environment will become narrower and narrower, and players need to walk through the painful narrow path full of pressure.

Experience: the translucent ball in the cave reflects the harsh comments of the outside world; when they are close to each other, they will see the evil image behind each other, which implies their contempt and suspicion.

Conceptual collage

THE PERIOD OF POTENTIAL CONFLICTS

Alienation of trifles

How to play: Move the balls around, and then rotate multiple platforms to make them connected, or jump into the water and meet again at the bottom.

Experience: the balls are the medium to separate two people, which represents their own chores; the water can make them become two isolated islands, but it can also be the conductor for their reunion.

conceptual collage

THE PERIOD OF FIGHT

Direct confrontation (hot violence)

How to play: fight directly in the arena and decide the result.

Experience: the round arena represents the conflict scene of lovers in a fight; there is a huge magic mirror above the arena, which indicates the real result of the quarrel: both sides are hurt; the surrounding eyes also represent the crowds who are watching the drama play.

conceptual collage

Conceptual collage

THE PERIOD OF FIGHT

Avoiding problems (cold violence)

How to play: walk out of the maze of mirror segmentation.

Experience: the ubiquitous cold color mirrors reflects each other, which gives lovers a sense of pressure that they have nowhere to escape; through the cracks of the broken glass on the mirror, they will find each other sharp and deformed.

THE PERIOD OF DESPARATIONIR

Broken and diverged

How to play: find their own way out.

Experience: A wall separates them. On one side is the upward ladder, while the other side is a bottomless abyss, which indicates that the lovers in the period of desperation are not going in the same direction. The person at the lower place can only see the legs of the other party who wants to escape, and it is easy to fall when he (she) goes to pursue, which represents his (her) loss and desperation; The person at the upper end can only hear the madness and extreme howling of the other side. He (she) has to walk up the escape ladder, which represents his (her) helplessness and desperation.

THE POSSIBILITIES OF USER EXPERIENCE

Start With Good Feelings

End With A Good Relationship

Start With Bad Feelings

End With A Bad Relationship

Start With Plain Feelings

End With A Steady Relationship

EXPERIENCE EXAMPLES

For example, starting from the period of desperation, the couple reviewed their quarrels and hidden emotional problems in the process of recalling. But they gradually find hope in their memories, so they choose a better ending at the transfer station. As a result, they will fall in love again as they want, until they reach a healthy and stable relationship.

This game, in a sense, cures the broken couple.

CLEAN 02 PUBLIC BATH FOR RELAXATION AND SOCIALTY

In this project, I have been exploring how to handle light and sight lines to provide a good bathing environment for visitors. Not only can it achieve a physically and mentally clean effect, but it can also make people who have not been exposed to public bathing feel comfortable with it.

PART 1 PROJECT MOTIVATION

1. RESEARCH INTENTION

One day, I heard a dialogue between two students and I felt the same way. In today's era of great pressure, more ways to handle pressure are needed. Then I thought of a way to combine social interaction with relaxation, which is "social bathing". However, whether it can adapt to local habits still needs a lot of investigation.

SITE SELECTION : A city center with a lot of people

Huangxing Road, Changsha, Hunan, China

2.SUBJECT RESEARCH

2.1 RESEARCH ON THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCES OF BATHHOUSES

2.1.1

Inherent cultural background of bathhouse.

There is a rich background of public bathing around the world.

2.1.2

Local attitudes towards bathhouse culture.

2.1.3

New-style adapted to local for accepting the bathhouse culture. This is not a new coat that northern bathhouses put on to cater to the trend, but a challenging change made by southerners to embrace the beneficial northern customs.

DIFFERENCES NEW BATH

In China, only northerners are used to public bathrooms and enjoy it. Southerners only like to take showers at home every day, and they don't have the habit of scrubbing.

In fact, the bathing process that people in southern China are not used to is very healthy.

From the bath culture of various countries, the ultimate goal of bathhouses is to provide a better bath environment for health treatment than at home.

3.2 WINDOW OF LOCAL SYMBOLS

PROBLEMS

Hualongchi, located in the center of Changsha City, is hot and humid due to the urban heat island effect.

Most of the old street buildings around Hualongchi are of Chinese modern residential style, with different forms and disorderly arrangement, so the architectural style needs to be reconsidered.

The houses on both sides of Hualongchi old street are crowded, and most shops occupy the public space with their equipment, so the appearance of the new building needs to be simple and plain.

Squares and arcs

The selected site area is only 200 square meters. In order to arrange a complete set of traditional bathing treatment in the limited area, how to combine the reasonable bathing procedures with the vertical space structure is an essential challenge.

most of people

few people

Most people have difficulty concentrating, however, and these people are eager for a healthier lifestyle.

So, the key is to put down your mobile phone and feel your life.

Most people like to socialize, but the reason why they can't meet friends from different places is that they have different habits and cultures, so they don't have a common topics.

Therefore, we need to create innovative social opportunities, through the integration of culture, to generate new chemistry.

Most people's favorite way of consumption and relaxation is healthy activities. Moreover, they prefer the combination of healthy and social activities.

Most of the young people's impression of Hualongchi has faded away.

Maybe they need different and novel uses to find memories or start their journey.

PART 2 HOW DID I MAKE THE DESIGN

1.OVERALL PLAN

1.1 INITIAL PLAN

1.2 IMPROVED PLAN

Problems:

1. There are three floors on the ground, which are huge and oppressive.

2. The pool is set on the second floor, which is easy to seep and leak, and the height of the first floor is not enough.

3. There is also insufficient bath area.

Manual model

SECOND FLOOR 1:100

2. SPATIAL FUNCTION ARRANGEMENT

2.1

Solutions:

1. There are only two floors on the ground, and the cube looks light.

2. The pool is set on the ground floor, which is convenient for water supply and drainage. And the height from the ceiling to the floor is 9 meters, with a better view.

3. Larger bath area and more practical sauna room.

2.2 STREAMLINE ANALYSIS

3.1 ANALYSIS OF LINES OF SIGHT FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES

3.1.1 Internal And External Sight Lines 3.1.2 Sight Among Functional Areas 3.1.3 Disturbed Sight Of The Pool

The East-West dens correspond to each other, and the line of sight can pass through the whole building without falling into the relatively private bath area. And the window of sauna area on the second floor is only for lighting, and it will not be too penetrating to cause privacy leakage.

The location of the stairwell is relatively private. The view from the hall will not easily reach the stairwell, which is convenient for customers to wear swimsuits. The blocked view through the dressing room ensures privacy. The shower room can see the general situation of the pool.

3.2 THOUGHTFUL DESIGN OF SIGHT LINE AT THE ENTRANCE

First of all, you will be confined to a small space, after any entrance, but you can see the misty bathing atmosphere behind you through several arches.

The opening doorway on the left side of the entrance leads you to the reception to check in.

From the archway through the wall, you enter a long corridor with a good view.

Turn right and you can start the bath.

People in the pool can't easily see each other because they are blocked by the hanging curtains, with the Tyndall effect caused by water mist and light.

There are several types of sauna rooms. Some are small rooms which can be locked, suitable for family, or close friends. Some are public rooms where you can make friends and play some easy games.

4.1 APPLICATION OF BASIC PATTERNS 4.2 COLORS AND MATERIALS

One end is curved and the other is straight, which makes it more directional and dynamic.

Use clean colors to convey pure feeling.

Vertical bar shaped windows can make more peaceful visual effect.

Curved ones are softer than straight ones.

5. LIGHTING

Make full use of the natural sunshine in prime time.

Large windows were opened at high places to let in a lot of sunlight.

The single bath in the basement uses LED windows to fill in light.

6. MOIST

The humid air volatilizes from the basement. In order to prevent the vapor from liquefying into water, the first and second floors are enclosed with glass. And the glass has heat sense, which can match the temperature of bath area and avoid condensation of water mist.

7. DISPLAY OF BATH TYPES

There is a separate small bathtub in the big pool. You can find a hazy afternoon enjoyment between the gauze curtain and the sunlight.

7.1 PUBLIC BATH CORNER

7.2 SINGLE BATH

7.3 LARGE BATH WITH SEPARATE SEATS

THE STORY MIGHT TURN INTO...

I heard that a new shop just opened in the Hualongchi Street. It is a new bath. I, a native of the south, haven't been there yet. I really want to experience it!

Wow, it's a traditional bathhouse! So, we can call more friends to come with us next time!

It's weekend again. I'm so tired. Where can we hang out?

Well, I've been taking a bath since I was a child. Let me see if it's authentic.

And this one meets all your requirements. It's not tiring but a good relief. You can also move around here. It's very suitable for a large group as well!

I love this new bathhouse so much. It turns out that southerners can enjoy going to public baths too!

OURS 03

REDECORATE OF MY HOME

When I remodeled my home with the aim of "self-actualization" over everything else, I realized that in my design, everyone uses different things. The personalized design of this project led me to reflect on standardized design.

FAMILY CONFLICTS

So annoying! My room is a traffic hub with no privacy at all!

I can't sleep !

Can you do yoga somewhere else? You're blocking me so I can't see the TV!

It's too crowded. Don't come in and make a mess!

How do these two women have so much stuff?

I don't want to eat in front of so many shoes ...

Hurryup

MULTI USES OF SPACE HAS BECOME A COMMON PHENOMENON

The multiple uses of space has two drawbacks.

Firstly, performing multiple functions in one room at the same time, which requires repeated packing to free up floor space.

Secondly, doing the same thing in different rooms leaves families missing opportunities for communication.

It's time to regroup and redivide the functions.

Through my family's dissatisfaction and conflicts, I realized that the design of the home needs to pay attention to human feelings and needs.

5 Parents's bedroom: The working area is narrow. There is not enough dressing space.

4 Living room: The living room is dark. The sofa is too far away from the TV. A long strip of space is wasted as a corridor.

2 Kitchen & bathroom junction: The ground is often wet, affecting the dining room, the kitchen and the entrance of the house.

6 My bedroom: Have to use the same desktop for study, drawing, playing games, and wearing make-up. There is too little space for casual clothes hanging.

7 Storage room: Due to no light and ventilation, it is used as a storage room, but a guest room is still needed.

1 Entrance & dining room: There is no designated storage space at home.

3 Bathroom: It's too small. The shower, toilet and sink are not separated, so it is inconvenient to use.

I have known about their characteristics for 21 years, but I want to know more about their feelings.

I did some interviews about each of these five needs, and also showed them a lot of pictures, so that they could choose the pictures they like and give reasons.

The picture on the right is a collage I made from their favorite pictures.

Dad will get the respect and recognition of his family from his favorite photography. We all like to see him positive and full of energy.

3.THE DYNAMIC OF THE FAMILY HAS CHANGED

When I was a weak child, my parents took care of me, so they let more space for me. Now, I'm a responsible adult. I want to think about my parents as much as possible, so I want to make concessions in space.

n the past, when we put our needs on our families, we were always easily disappointed and dissatisfied. If we put our needs on ourselves and focus on self-realization, then everyone will be happy.

Mom can divert her attention by focusing on her favorite singing, and please herself to release her dissatisfaction.

Dad doesn't need much personal space because he often works outside and doesn't spend much time at home. But he needs more space to store things to give him a sense of belonging.

My mother used to worry about managing the family, but she sacrificed a lot of her own space. Mom stays the longest at home and needs the most personal space.

In the future, I am often away from home and don't need too much personal space. My room is open to them.

The current spatial distribution of family use

I want more space at home for me to focus on myself.

I always feel satisfied because I am busy with my favorite things.

COME ACROSS

LIGHT SOCIAL SALON ON PUBLIC BUS

This project is about my exploration of bus design. I was thinking about how to design something that would allow buses to provide a brief and random light social interaction, and also make it a vehicle which would allow people to get to know the city.

TRANSPORTATION SOCIAL OCCASION +

People on public transportation don't look very happy because they are forced to cram with strangers. I observed that most people were playing with their cell phones or reading. A few would enjoy the view outside the windows, and almost no one appreciated the opportunity to get up close and personal with a stranger and have a pleasant conversation.

I often travel by bus, and I have observed the behavior habits of some people on bus. From this, I came up with an idea to facilitate changes in this space, so, I made a related spatial installation design.

Social occasions provide an environment for those involved to make new friends and share information efficiently. Mostly when the social event is limited to a theme, there is more common language among participants and the ice can be broken.

SOCIAL BUS

A social bus that allows people on board to meet randomly and open up different levels of conversation.

BUS SETTINGS VISUAL ELEMENTS

POSITIONING ROUTE CROWDS

random, brief, light social. the city's ring roads (not towards the city center)

ACTIVITIES

A topic is designated at each time slot to guide passengers to share and gossip.

Such as: English corners, Bachelor’s parties, Comedy roast get-togethers, Humble bragger gatherings.

Pull rings: the medium of communication between passengers.

Poles: structure used to divide space.

The reasons that it is the best to communicate in mobile on bus are:

It makes full use of the commuting time; The space is mobile, and the people you meet are diverse and random;

The bus is slower and more comfortable than the subway, more or less like a "sightseeing bus", which is a good space for tourists to the city.

Blade rotation size

The blades placed under the frame (revolving doors) are available in different sizes, which determine the different space sizes and the way the space is reassembled.

This common door has a high degree of freedom and can form any space with the surrounding frame.

I did some tricks on a single piece door like this to combine it with other doors.

This revolving door can be combined with the surrounding frame in various arrangements, thus creating a variety of interactive spaces.

I made the door in several shapes following one axis of rotation.

Combination Of Overall Frames, Walls And Doors

As shown in the picture on the right: light yellow is the frame, white is the fixed wall, and purple is the door. Passengers can change the way the doors are combined with their state of conversation.
