    Exploring the Design Potential of Wearable Technology and Functional Fashion Design

    Wearable Technology and Functional Fashion 1 Exploring the Design Potential of Wearable Technology and Functional Fashion Design By Jensin Wallace BFA, Textile Design, Rhode Island School of Design Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati Masters of Design School of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning 2014 Wearable Technology and Functional Fashion 2 Phyllis Borcherding Abstract Wearable technology is a growing field at the intersection of fashion and technology. Apparel and technology designers are unsure of how best to merge the strengths of their independent fields to create products that can be easily integrated into an individual’s lifestyle. The aim of this research is to create a conceptual framework that combines functional apparel design values with interaction design values in a model that could theoretically be used inter- disciplinary for the future development of wearable technology products. ProJect-based research was conducted to create a wearable technology prototype that explored the potential of a multifunctional and technologically enabled knitted garment. The framework was developed using the findings from this process with an emphasis on user centered design techniques.

Types of Thermal Mass • Traditional types of thermal mass include water, rock, earth, brick, concrete, fibrous cement, caliche, and ceramic tile. • Phase change materials store energy while maintaining constant temperatures, using chemical bonds to store & release latent heat. PCM’s include solid-liquid Glauber’s salt, paraffin wax, and the newer solid-solid linear crystalline alkyl hydrocarbons (K-18: 77oF phase transformation temperature). PCM’s can store five to fourteen times more heat per unit volume than traditional materials. (source: US Department of Energy). Historical Applications • The use of thermal mass in shelter dates back to the dawn of humans, and until recently has been the prevailing strategy for building climate control in hot regions. Egyptian mud-brick storage rooms (3200 years old). The lime-pozzolana (concrete) Roman Pantheon Today, passive techniques such as thermal mass are ironically considered “alternative” methods to mechanical heating and cooling, yet the appropriate use of thermal mass offers an efficient integration of structure and thermal services. Thermal Properties of Materials The basic properties that indicate the thermal behavior of materials are: density (p), specific heat (cm), and conductivity (k). The specific heat for most masonry materials is similar (about 0.2-0.25Wh/kgC).

    THE AMERICAN LAWN: CULTURE, NATURE, DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY _______________________________________________________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University _______________________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Landscape Architecture _______________________________________________________________________________ by Maria Decker Ghys May 2013 _______________________________________________________________________________ Accepted by: Dr. Matthew Powers, Committee Chair Dr. Ellen A. Vincent, Committee Co-Chair Professor Dan Ford Professor David Pearson ABSTRACT This was an exploratory study examining the processes and underlying concepts of design nature, and culture necessary to discussing sustainable design solutions for the American lawn. A review of the literature identifies historical perceptions of the lawn and contemporary research that links lawns to sustainability. Research data was collected by conducting personal interviews with green industry professionals and administering a survey instrument to administrators and residents of planned urban development communi- ties. Recommended guidelines for the sustainable American lawn are identified and include native plant usage to increase habitat and biodiversity, permeable paving and ground cover as an alternative to lawn and hierarchical maintenance zones depending on levels of importance or use. These design recommendations form a foundation

  • Graphic Design in the Postmodern Era

    Graphic Design in the Postmodern Era

    Graphic Design in the Postmodern Era By Mr. Keedy This essay was based on lectures presented at FUSE 98, San Francisco, May 28, and The AIGA National Student Design Conference, CalArts, June 14, 1998. It was first published in 1998 in Emigre 47. Any discussion of postmodernism must be preceded by at least a provisional definition of modernism. First there is modernism with a capital "M," which designates a style and ideology and that is not restricted to a specific historical moment or geographical location. Modernist designers from the Bauhaus in Germany, the De Style in Holland, and Constructivism in Russia, share essentially the same Modernist ideology as designers like Paul Rand, Massimo Vignelli, and Eric Spiekermann. Its primary tenet is that the articulation of form should always be derived from the programmatic dictates of the object being designed. In short, form follows function. Modernism was for the most part formed in art schools, where the pedagogical strategies were developed that continue to this day in design schools. It is a formalist, rationalist, visual language that can be applied to a wide range of circumstances. All kinds of claims can and have been made in an effort to keep Modernism eternally relevant and new. The contradiction of being constant, yet always new, has great appeal for graphic designers, whose work is so ephemeral. Then there is the modern, with a small "m." It is often confused with Modernism with a big M, but being a modern designer simply means being dedicated to working in a way that is contemporary and innovative, regardless of what your particular stylistic or ideological bias may be.

    The Past, Present, and Future of the Chinese Home an Architectural

    Te Past, Present, and Future of the Chinese Home An Architectural Study of the Relationship Between Politics, Culture, and Domestic Space By | Tina Huang | 黄维钰 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Afairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Architecture Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario ©2021TinaHuang ABSTRACT his thesis analyzes the oscillating cause and effect between State, citizen, Tand architecture by studying the relationship between politics and domestic spaces in China. It explores the development of China from the beginning of the twentieth century through the present and into a speculative future to argue that wider socio-political changes are reflected in the detailed and intimate spaces of the home, and conversely, that the home can act as an agent of political resistance. The timeline in question represents a unique and tumultuous era in the development of modern China, one which dramatically changed the way people in China built their homes, and in turn, lived their lives. By imagining a speculative future condition in which China has undergone another major political and cultural shift, this thesis will consider the past in order to propose a speculative trajectory for the future of domestic Chinese architecture. II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I want to firstly thank my advisor Natalia for your patience and constant support during this past year, your encouragement throughout the writing of this thesis has been invaluable. To the staff and faculty at the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism, thank you for making the last six years so wonderful. The guidance and support from everyone has been crucial to my educational growth.

Signed ……………………………………… Director of Studies 11/10/2009 Date ……………………………………… II Abstract This study investigated the ability of wind-catcher as an environmentally friendly component to provide natural ventilation for indoor environments and intended to improve the overall efficiency of the existing designs of modern wind-catchers. In fact this thesis attempts to answer this question as to if it is possible to apply traditional design of wind-catchers to enhance the design of modern wind-catchers. Wind-catchers are vertical towers which are installed above buildings to catch and introduce fresh and cool air into the indoor environment and exhaust inside polluted and hot air to the outside. In order to improve overall efficacy of contemporary wind-catchers the study focuses on the effects of applying vertical louvres, which have been used in traditional systems, and horizontal louvres, which are applied in contemporary wind-catchers. The aims are therefore to compare the performance of these two types of louvres in the system. For this reason, a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was chosen to simulate and study the air movement in and around a wind-catcher when using vertical and horizontal louvres.

    Collaboration Design: Impact Factor of Cross- Culture A Case Study of Design Background Student and Handicraftsman of Taiwan Indigenous Tien-Li Chen *, Man- Li Huang** * College of Design Graduate Institute of Design Doctoral Program NTUT, [email protected] ** College of Design Graduate Institute of Design Doctoral Program NTUT, [email protected] Abstract: This article looks at impact factors of cross culture in collaboration Design. The collaboration of 7 students with design backgrounds and 7 handicraftsman who have knowledge of production to develop cultural goods, cultural elements applied to the design mode. Taiwan in recent years has actively promoted cultural and creative industries in various places with Taiwan Indigenous Peoples, especially the most notable achievement is the Paiwan craft art. The team in July 2012 through a participatory design process, and cross cultural collaboration produced 10 works. These will be the study sample for in depth analysis of the collaborative process mode. This study adopted the methods such as documentary analysis, in depth interviews and participant observation that attempt to construct a model of cross cultural collaboration and cultural elements applications. Lastly model as cross cultural collaborative design interactive reference. The research significantly provides the lessons and suitable models emphasized on the transformation and development of cultural and creative industries especially for aboriginal craftsmen and government. Key words: Collaboration, Cross- Culture, Taiwan Indigenous, Cultural Product, Impact Factor 1. Introduction In traditional design education, students tend to achieve their goals through the design process, with a lack of understanding of the culture. There needs to be respect for the point of view of the cultural and ethnic culture as value-added elements, you need to be more careful with the use of culture.
