Creating an issue management system using Google Apps Script
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis report describes the development of a system for use in
programming classes. We use this system to manage student work. We
use Google Apps and student accounts. It is easier to implement than
other systems.departmental bulletin pape
Tek2 Rakugakit: A toolkit designed to explore improvisational movement and drawing through part assembly
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis work is a toolkit called Tek2 Rakugakit that aims to learn about
programming-like thinking from a design perspective. This toolkit
comprises a commercially available gearbox that runs on AA batteries,
parts that act as legs, and drawing tools such as pens. Different
movements are created by combining the parts, and the mechanism is
designed to draw drawings. The user aims to explore their intended
expression through trial and error while observing the drawn lines and
drawing process, and reconfiguring the parts and drawing tools. In
this paper, we describe the design and implementation of the toolkit, as
well as the reactions and results of users in a workshop conducted with
elementary school students.departmental bulletin pape
Metal hammering work [Sailing off]
Get PDFapplication/pdfMy grandfather is a sailor. My grandfather loves me more than
anyone and I love him. Ships appear frequently in my memories
of my grandfather. Those memories are of origami ships and real
ships. Growing up inland, ships are a source of longing for me and an
important reminder of my memories of my grandfather. A ship has a
destination, starting from a lighthouse and returning to the lighthouse.
I envy ships that have a place to return to and a lighthouse to light
their way. My grandfather may be like a lighthouse to me.departmental bulletin pape

Consideration of a Product Development Model for B to C Products Based on Design Thinking in Industry-Academia Collaboration Case study of the development process of a new product using a CO2 sensor in collaboration with ALPS ALPINE CO.,LTD.
Get PDFapplicaion/pdfAs design thinking becomes increasingly essential across various
fields,including corporate activities,educational initiatives,and
public services,there has been a growing number of practical
reports and concrete outputs. In the context of industry-academia
collaboration,although the use and implementation of design
thinking are being documented,most reports focus on overviews or
methodologies of workshops and project proposals. However,few
present a concrete product development model. This paper aims to
provide an overview of the product development process using a CO2
sensor conducted jointly by Nagaoka Institute of Design and Alps
Alpine Co.,Ltd.（ hereinafter referred to as ALAP） from 2022 to 2023
and propose a product development model utilizing design thinking in
industry-academia collaboration.departmental bulletin pape
Research on documents about the Atago Tower and Considerations on its designer.
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis article is based on investigation of the Atago Tower, which
was built in Atago Mountain Park during the Meiji period. The
Atago Tower was a five-story, brick-built observation tower with a
height of 30 meters and an octagonal plan. It was destroyed in the
Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Until its collapse, it was used not
only for observation but also as a facility for rest and for displaying
famous landscape and portrait paintings, which were popular forms
of entertainment at the time. Construction began in 1888, and the
tower opened in December 1889. The building’s design featured
intricate decorations, reflecting the designer’s understanding of style
and structure. The Atago Tower is considered Japan’s first brick-built
observation tower, and its design and construction process represent
a significant example of Meiji-era architectural design. The designers
mentioned include Ito Tamekichi, Sato Yuzo, and Fujimoto Tokichi,
Based on researoh, it is considered that Sato Yuzo is the designer of the
Atogo Tower.departmental bulletin pape
Designing a Monument for the Michi-no-Eki Nagaoka Hanabi-Kan :A Monument Design Inspired by the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival
Get PDFapplication/pdfFor the Nagaoka Nishi Rotary Club’ s 40th anniversary, a monument
was installed at the Nagaoka Fireworks Museum, a popular roadside
stop, and our team was selected to design and create it. Over the course
of four months, four students—including the author and an exchange
student from Brazil—collaborated to bring the concept to life. The
design was crafted to “shine” beautifully, no matter the weather,
whether it’ s sunny, cloudy, or snowy. This monument is a tribute to the
pride Nagaoka’s citizens have in their fireworks, created to share this
pride with visitors from beyond the city and the prefecture.departmental bulletin pape
Being a Photograph / Seeing as a Photograph: The Discrepancy between Representational Photography and Cognitive Photography
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis paper reexamines and discusses the work “WHO OWNS THE
MISTRANSLATION?”, which I presented at the Nagaoka Institute of
Design Graduation Exhibition in February 2024, from the perspective
of my studies after entering graduate school. It covers the process of
creating the work, the images produced, and the method of display.
In the production of the work, I used Adobe Photoshop to generate
extensions of photographs taken by myself, cut out only the generated
parts, and treated them as photographs. Through this process, it
became clear that within the field of “photography,” there exist both
representational photography and cognitive photography, and these
are not entirely overlapping concepts but rather have a certain degree
of divergence.departmental bulletin pape
A Memorandum on Vulnerability
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis paper has attempted to examine the recent discussion of
vulnerability in relation to the ethics of care. Previous studies can be
divided into the following two views of vulnerability. One regards
vulnerability as ontological or universal inherent in the human
condition. The other sees it as social or relational, focusing on
the specific groups that are vulnerable to harm, exploitation, and
threat. These two views are reconciled by recognizing the inevitable
vulnerability of human beings and protecting the vulnerable from its
leading to the harmful consequence. Protecting the vulnerable carries
the risk that ameliorating inherent or situational vulnerability has
the contradictory effect of undermining autonomy and increasing
vulnerability. To avoid this risk a socially just state is required, which
develops social, political, and legal institutions to promote citizens’
autonomy. Building on these foundational studies, my future challenge
is to consider the relationship between care and art.departmental bulletin pape
