Starting point: design as a diary – a balanced lifestyle
Middle work: how to build or visualize a personal story
Wrap up of project 2:
own history, material, aesthetic agency
not limitied to utilitarian, open to “a thing” extended in design, series of things.
proposisional making. [space of yourself space define your aesthetics]
allow yourself to make 3dimentional composition-sculptural
develop something that is conceptually narratively aesthetically rich -> build meaning on it
integration of utilitarian, aesthetic, maker perspective
using these tools – body movement, how it feels, control of the materials
ecology of myself, ecology of a maker
repligate the natual form of wood
break the geometric brick of the utilitarian design works, breaking the formality
reflect on the tool and body of yourself, how this tool is working with your body.
what’s the body asking you to do with that material
physical pleasure in the sound, feeling
irregularity of the natural form
2021.10.29: focus point shifts to how to catch those inspiring/ encouraging moment of design ideas. The Topic changes to: Design wandering – A revelation about self-existence and self-perception (设计神游:一种关于自我存在和自我感知的启示) see yourself in your designs;
flow state – finishing things in a comforatble state,In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one’s sense of time.
