The document discusses the use of e-portfolios by designers. It explains that designers traditionally keep portfolios throughout their career to reflect on their work and showcase their competencies. An e-portfolio allows a designer's portfolio to evolve over time as an album with their coursework, projects from different stages of their career, and work from various jobs. The document then provides a link to a presentation by an industrial design graduate and former designer named Moko about her experiences using e-portfolios.
The document outlines the schedule and activities for the 2011 YDW (Miaoli) program from October 17-21. The 4-day program is focused on introducing participants to rush grass weaving techniques and having them develop innovative product concepts and designs based on this craft. The itinerary includes activities such as learning about the history and process of rush grass weaving, developing product ideas through sketching and modeling, and presenting concepts for feedback. The goal is for participants to understand the characteristics of rush grass art and to generate new product ideas to showcase at a final exhibition in Taipei.

Rush grass has traditionally been used in weaving art in Japan. This paper explores a new design approach for rush grass weaving that focuses on the sense of touch and feel. The goal is to enhance the beauty and experience of rush grass weaving through an innovative design process centered around the human sense of hand.
This document discusses a study that paired design students with local rush weavers in Taiwan to develop new product lines and revitalize the local rush weaving industry. The study implemented a collaborative design process in four phases to create seven new products under four design concepts. The goal was to leverage design creativity to tap into contemporary markets and expand opportunities for the local rush weaving crafts of Yuan Li, which had declined due to changing times. The study highlights the value of collaborative approaches between craft and design to preserve cultural heritage crafts and serve as a reference for design education.

This document outlines the schedule for a final presentation on imagination and sciences. It discusses the role of imagination in predicting possible future scenarios and applying technologies to different markets. It provides examples of science fiction movies that incorporate scientific principles like conservation of momentum. It emphasizes that while science fiction storylines should be imaginative, they must also adhere to scientific rules to avoid undermining their intended imagination and have market value. Effective learning of sciences and technologies requires a basic understanding of scientific principles.
The document discusses several topics related to particle physics including neutrinos, antimatter, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It notes that neutrinos have very small mass and hardly interact with matter. Antimatter is commonly produced in natural phenomena like cosmic rays and supernova explosions. The LHC can artificially create antimatter. The document asks why neutrino energy changes and why postulated scenarios like those in the movie "2012" lack scientific basis. It also questions where the antimatter created in the Big Bang went and discusses motivations for belief in unscientific ideas.
This document discusses learning English for design through TED talks. It recommends finding talks on topics of interest and practicing English skills like listening comprehension with and without subtitles. Beyond language learning, TED talks can expose viewers to great designers from around the world. The document also discusses the importance of reflection in design education and practicing reflection through term presentations.
The document discusses several jewelry designers and their works. It describes Anna Sabino's "Dreaming" necklace collection inspired by Dali's sculpture that features delicate charms. It also mentions Erica Weiner's affordable jewelry pieces made from repurposed materials telling stories, including a hand-cast Waldorf Astoria necklace. Finally, it discusses Fernando Akasaka's new "Le Blob" line featuring abstract blob-shaped rings, pendants and earrings in gold and silver.
This document discusses an English homework assignment asking students to listen to a TED talk from the design sector without Chinese subtitles, then write a report in Chinese or English summarizing the talk. The report should include (1) basic information about the talk like title, speaker, and link, (2) major points from the talk, and (3) what the student learned from listening. The goal is to help students develop lifelong learning skills by exploring design topics through online resources in English to practice comprehension without translation aids.
The document provides information about several fashion and accessory brands:
1) Pointer Footwear is a growing shoe label founded by Gareth Skewis. Skewis ensures high quality by having employees train at John Lobb, a legendary shoemaker, and making 7-8 samples of each shoe model.
2) Guy Chanel is a one-man luxury brand that handcrafts unique leather accessories in his atelier outside of Paris. By keeping production slow, his solo operation creates discreet, high quality products.
3) Chanel got into the craft after a childhood passion for horses led him to make saddles, as he was too tall to be a jockey and not a good enough student for veter
The document discusses the possibility of life existing on other planets and the potential for contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. It outlines three key criteria for habitable planets: proximity to a star like our sun, sufficient mass to retain an atmosphere, and the presence of water. While water has been detected on the moon and Mars, the document does not indicate whether life has been found elsewhere in the universe. It also discusses early experiments that synthesized amino acids, the building blocks of life, and the ongoing Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) project. Potential outcomes for an alien encounter range from benign to hostile contacts, depending on the civilization's level of development and intentions.
