01 Qianmo Tea Set

Design concept Tea set x contour lines Combining familiar things 'tea set' and 'contour lines', and taking the essence and characteristics of them,

design a new type of tea set. Through the ring lines that symbols the contour lines, the shape and the height of each tea ware are drawn on the tea tray and show the undulates of the mountain peaks.

New life experience Not only the mountain views, you can feel the sense of space between 2D and 3D is connected through

the contour lines. This can bring the feeling between

realism and virtuality to the audience, and make the

impression of this product more vivid and resonate with them.

Design Background

Same mountains, different views

People view the mountains from different perspectives or in different seasons, and the mountain shape would also

changes. Because of this characteristic of the mountain, since the ancient times, there is no lack of the imagination of mountain shapes.

Think outside the box

Taiwan, where we were born, is an island which has the largest number and density of high mountains in the world.

So we want to interpret 'mountain', an element that is close to our life experience, from a different perspective, make the designed product can express the beauty of mountains and easy resonate with viewers.

11

01 Qianmo Tea Set

Inspiration Contour lines Contour lines are generally familiar geographic terms that is a curve joins points of equal elevation above a given level. It is a plane section of the threedimensional graph of the function f(x, y) parallel to

the (x, y)-plane. Only through the lines on the paper,

you can recognize the three-dimensional terrain conditions of an area.

Apply contour lines on tea set design

We think of each tea ware as mountain and apply contour lines on the tea ware. Based on the concept of contour lines, the shape of each tea ware is generated along the closed lines on the tea tray.

Invisible handle for teapot lid Follow the shape of the lid, naturally lift the lid and place it on the teapot. The reason we do not use the obvious handle of the

lid is that it does not conform to the same shape rules for tea sets and destroy the whole sense of tea set.

The aesthetic feeling after placing lid on teapot is considered so the overall shape after putting them together is smooth. The color that gradually changes from green to white and to green makes the scenes so elegant.

The dry tea brewing method we choose Compared with the wet tea-brewing method, it is more simple and elegant since the excess water is not poured into the tray but into the trash can when brewing. The table can be more neat and easier to clear.

21

Also, there is no need to have a thick tea tray to store excess water, so the thickness of the tray could be reduced, which makes the presense of tea sets more elegant than ordinary tea sets.

Design Background

Modern urban life, throw-away culture Modern people have become accustomed to convenient life so that the conveniences plastics offer, however, led to

a throw-away culture. While walking outdoors to enjoy life, especially eating out and getting takeaway, people are used to using one-use cultery to enjoy their meals.

Plastic pollution from single-use cultery Single-use plastic cultery is convenient, but it is a prime source of plastic pollution swept into waterways and oceans, where they partially degrade, harming mariane life and human life. These products have a lifespan of mere minutes to hours, yet they may persist in the environment for hundreds of years.

Design Background

Increasing awareness of resisting air pollution In recent years, the policy promoted by the Executive Yuan has improved air pollution as an important implementation direction. The EPA pointed out that the results of monitoring PM2.5 showed that most cities exceeded the standard. Air pollution problems have caused more and more people to resist bad air.

Disposable masks are used heavily The majority of people tend to use disposable masks to resist air pollution no matter in summer or in winter,

espicially in Asian countries. Since disposable masks need to be replaced at most once a day, there is a great demand for masks, so a large number of disposable masks are manufactured, used and discarded.

Design Process Literature Review

The use of disposable masks The air pollution has become a major social issue and a

problem that people must solve. Nowadays, most people choose to use masks to resist air pollution.

The problem of disposable masks However, according to the study by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, most of the commercially available disposable masks

have not effectively resisted PM2.5, and one-time use mask can also cause environmental damage.

main operation is inclined. It is easy for the user to see the time displayed on the plane, and the hand movement is also more comfortable when the user operates the button.

The handle part of the device is beveled

so that a space between the handle and the table is created. There, therefore, has a space for hand to grasp the handle and makes it easy to pick up.

Color platte Elderly people are degraded in their ability to sense color due to their physiological functions deteriorates.

In terms of color selection, although seniors in all age groups choose red, blue and yellow as their favorite

color (Gao Guobin, 2002), the ability to distinguish and sense the yellow and blue colors will gradually become insensitive(Shen Yongjia, 1998), so we finally choose Red as the main color of the device.

Design background

Old people need the transportation services With the advent of an aging society, the proportion of people who cannot drive has increased due to the

deterioration of the physical functions of the elderly. Some elderly people tend to stay at home since they cannot go out alone, which affect their physical and mental health.

Older people refuse to use technology products to call a taxi Taxis which have high mobility are suitable for carrying elderly people out, but compared with young people who are accustomed to using apps and phones to call for taxis, the majority of middle-aged and elderly people still resist using technology products to call for taxis.

Design Process Literature review

It is necessary for elderly have transportation services

Meeting the mobility needs of disabled elders and assisting them to get

out of the outdoors will delay the decline of physical function (Xiong & Wu, 2007). The main purpose of the elderly going out is to seek medical

treatment. Other factors like visiting friends and leisure are also growing (Shi Yan et al., 2009).

The properties of taxi make it suitable for the elderly

The taxi fleet which is equipped with radio communication equipment

are universal, organized and mobile ( Chen Yongfu, 2001). Compared to other age groups, the time when the elderly go out is special. In terms of

transportation services for the elderly, "mobility" is the first consideration (Chen Changyi, 2001 ).

Difficulties in using technology products for the elderly

Learning to use the Internet may create anxiety situations, making many elderly people choose to avoid it because of the difficulties of this job (Porter

& Donthu, 2006). Although elderly people generally think that technology

products are useful and easy to operate, they are actually not as easy as

they think, physiological conditions hinder their use of technology products (Chen Zhaoyao, 2015).

Device preferences for seniors

The older people choose bright colors such as red, blue, and yellow as their favorite choices, among which red has the highest acceptance (Gao Guobin,

2002). When designing a device with flat operation for the elderly, choose a size that is significantly small or significantly large among different buttons to facilitate the distinction. In the operation process, dragging right and down is better than dragging left and up (Gao&Sun, 2015).

Through interview landlord and tenants and survey other related apps, we found :

people who do not use exclusive apps for rent management - They tend to use LINE or phone call to contact each other.

- Landlord tend to use a lots of applications to deal with a part of rental management.

- Rental management or tenants contact mixed with other life management.

the exclusive apps for rent management

- The apps are pretty simple and not easy to use.

- They provide landlords only address book for record or only basic information blocks for landlord to fill in.

- Just can record tenant information and need to contact tenants by phone or other communication apps.

From the related reports and statistics, most of the landlords have several properties and manage themselves. But

no related tool is convenient and has clear interface to assist the complicated managing process. Most tenants and landlords are communicate with social networking app but want to keep their proper distance.

Project Goal Designing an exclusive app for rental management with tools that landlord need and a clear information architecture and user interface which makes the workflow more smooth to provide great using experience and increase the management efficiency and convenience.
