Experience design

Identifying one’s purpose in their odyssey is not always direct. Sometimes it requires extreme events, even tragic events, for someone to recognize what their purpose is. In addition, at times it may be necessary to trust the people closest to you, including your loved ones, to determine what your purpose is. These two circumstances were discussed in the short story I wrote, a spin off from Fahrenheit 451 which follows the story of Clarisse McClellan who was presumed dead in the novel. Clarisse…

Introduction: The bridge lab project was based on the given scenario in which a reliable bridge needed to be constructed over a river in order to alleviate traffic. The objective was to design a bridge to relieve traffic flow that was also safe, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing. The constraints for this project included the budget and minimum height and width requirements. The max budget to purchase wood was $200, the minimum height at all points of the bridge was 3 inches, the…

In Case 8 “Conflict in Santa’s Workshop: Learning to Be a Team Player at ToyKing”, ToyKing was a large, U.S.-based toy design and manufacturing company that specialized in educational toys and games. Located in Torrance, California, the Design Studio headquarters consisted of over 60 toy designers and about 20 technicians and fabricators. Out of the toy designers, 15 were senior designers and the remaining 45 were junior designers. Their goal is to come up with new innovative toy concepts each…

With all the museums and galleries to choose from, I chose, The Art Gallery of Ontario and the Museum of Modern Art. They have totally different designs in the way of navigation. The Art Gallery of Ontario has a navigation bar at the top which is quite standard these days for website design. The museum of Modern Art has a unique way of designing their website homepage as it has a navigation at the bottom of the website. With that said, The Art Gallery of Ontario has their main navigation easy…

in large amounts. However, for components such as those required for “aeronautic space”, “defence” and “automotive applications”, mechanical properties and robustness are of primary importance. It is therefore important that the best features of design should be employed and optimum casting technique with minimum cost can be used. Pressure die cast products are used in the form of components of various electrical, electronic, mechanical instruments and appliances used in domestic as well as…

by Edward R. Ford in his publication, “The Architectural Detail.” and how it can be adapted to suit the design strategies of a multi-generation apartment. Detail is defined as “attention to or treatment of a subject in individual or minute parts”. The architectural detail starts off as a constructive or technical problem, but the detail can and should be able to indicate the architect’s design intent. Detail is architecture at its smallest scale. Even though detail is a minute part of the…

to maximizing the efficiency of the motor. These students have extensive knowledge in the areas of machining and engine tuning and safety optimization which enabled them to harness the full potential of this year’s motor. This report outlines the design of the engine team during Fall 2017 SMV vehicle. Introduction and Background: The engine and dynamometer team goal was to optimize every engine component for maximum fuel economy and high performance. This was achieved by designing and…

center and outside references providing background information about the architects, history, and the project itself. My focus was on the interior structure and the influences from the society on the architecture design. In the end, this paper also assesses the impact of such an advancing design. Introduction Located in the center of Paris, Center Pompidou serves as a culture center and a popular visit site. The structure was built in 1970’s designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. The…

The bending Factor The approach proposed by VAN DE WIEL (2003) considers plants as flexible elements and, therefore, incorporates mechanical aspects in the analysis. In his work, VAN DE WIEL (2003) refers to the study carried out by RAHMEYER et al. (1999), in which mechanical and resistance properties of different plant species were tested. RAHMEYER et al. (1999) stablished a relationship between the force required to bend the plant to an angle of 45 degrees in terms of the plant’s modulus of…

Geometric Architecture Designs That Excite Do you have an eye for modern homes? If you do, you would love this contemporary homes with geometric touches in it. There’s something quite comforting and nostalgic about geometric architecture… it’s mathematical, it’s scientific, it’s timeless… In today’s world of complexity, aesthetic geometric patterns and architecture offer a simple and clean approach. Geometrics: A Timeless Trend Geometric art has been around forever. Right from the ancient…
