Problem Analysis
Material Analysis
1, Bamboo toys are single and rigid for
playing in the existing kindergarten.
2, Children’s duration for playing is not
long.
3, Color, interest and sound can attract
children’s attention easily.
5, The persistent time for playing is
different for the children in different
ages.
1, Bamboo tube is also the basic shape
for the children to learn and cognize
in the early age.
2, When the children are stacking the
bamboo tubes, they can learn about
combination, accumulation and
permutation.

IDEA
DESIGN SKETCH
This kind of design follows the way of
Marble Run, using bamboo tube as a
single original shape, because the kid’s
patient is insufficient, which can cause
the child difficultly to get the sense of
achievement during the playing process,
thus it is added music elements.
It is increased two playing ways compared to the original product: 1. Children can assemble their own
music buttons and edit different
music sequence.
2. Children can place the music button
to its original position during stacking
the bamboo, thereby achieving different
rhythm and melody.

Cultural prototype is the fountain of imagination.
Cultural Design
CI RING
DESIGN INSPIRATION
慈石
Before, the ancient Chinese used to compare magnet attracting iron to a loving mother attracting her own child, and so they call magnet "Ci Shi", which means loving stone.
“‘Ci Shi’ or loving stone attracts iron, so does a mother loves her son.” —— Eulogy of Loving Stone
“慈石吸铁,母子相恋也。”——《慈石赞》
mother child
15ZiHan,Xiao CI RING2013 Master Application Portfolio
The reason the ancient people naming magnet a loving stone is that: mother is like a magnet, just as children are like iron ores. The ring table of the mother ring is made of iron to be inlaid with natural magnet, while the son ring is inlaid with a small iron ore.

Fast food restaurants need three types of packaging for placement of French fries of different component.
1. People like to spread out the French fries on the meal placemat attached with advertise- ment, and yet the ink on the placemat contains benzene and lead and other carcinogenic substances.2. The existing French fries packaging has only accommodation function, and it will become useless once the French fries is eaten up.

DESIGN INSPIRATION
IDEAI drew my inspiration from the traditional mode of Chinese way of packaging. It turned from a tiled cloth into a solid package appearance, which is easy for folding and convenient for accommodation.

Status Quo of Shikumen - Zhang Garden’
Playground that used to be alive with people, now it is surrounded with highrise.
The voices that surrounded are vehement, those buzzing about are white collars, those sitting are elders.
Internal Space
internal space is narrow (especially corridor between),dark wet and stuffy.Many families live in a huddle, they devide the space in a mess.When living for long here, people feel constrained.

RECORD RELEASE
UFO is a design focusing on the emotional world of dogs. It consists of three words: unlonely, family, odor. Dog is a member in the family. When the owner is out of home, its loneliness and panic can be relieved by UFO which gives off the owner’s odor.
Before initial use, record the odors of the family members through the phone program.
Dogs like living in groups. They will be alone and panic if staying at home alone. They like tearing up the things with the owner’s smell and spreading the fragments all around to get a sense of security.
Before going out, start the function of giving off the odor with the phone. Then it will generate and give off the odors of the family members.

WOWO
WOWO is a toy collecting box designed for children. It can accompany children to grow up. The smooth-spread WOWO allows children to crawl and toddle on it. After the simple folding, it can become a toy collecting box which can classify the toys. Compared with the traditional collocting box, its shape and color are preferred by the children.
With the soft material, WOWO can change from the flat to the solid by the easy folding, which is very interesting.
