Consumers' Taste and Distaste Analysis of Shampoo Container as a Package Design : Fundamental Study based on Kansei Engineering for Package Designs to Promote Consumers' Purchasing Activity (1)
application/pdfThis paper is a fundamental study with the purpose laying the basic foundation of package design studies, controlling the risk as small as possible on the process developing new package designs, clarifying numerically the design factors of package design exerting the effect on consumers' purchasing activity from the point of Kansei Engineering. In this paper, a new general method to analyze the result of questionnaire surveys concerning consumer's image of package design is proposed. This formulates numerically consumers' purchasing criteria on shampoo containers and fuzzy image of design factors on its package design expressed with linguistic image evaluation based on fuzzy logic. Besides, the mean and variance of these fuzzy design factors and the numerical measure of consumers' taste and distaste concerning its package designs are defined and discussed with the data obtained from Japan and Republic of Korea.departmental bulletin pape

A Study of Micro Design
application/pdfThe photographs of mineral crystals taken by Mr.Minoru Akiyama using an optical microscope, are used for design recently. We tried to create Micro Design by using an optical microscope on another way, and made many samples from vinyl and cellophane tapes. When we put the sample on the prepared specimen, many shapes and colors come into our view. We couldn't find any law of shapes and colors with vinyl and cellophane tapes, but we created various works of Micro Design.departmental bulletin pape
About the Hasimoto-related data of the pre-world war 2 period by the Nankai electric railway and the like part2.
application/pdfThe data of the pre-world war 2 period by the Nankai electric railway and the like was procured. With this manuscript decision of these issue ages it did. The data being free, is the pamphlets which are distributed, but from only these there is also a fact which cannot know, future application is expected.departmental bulletin pape
A Conceptual Approach for a Landscape Design : A Case Study of Design Proposal for Toolonlahti Parks
application/pdfThe purpose of this thesis is to study and research my own methodology and way of thinking for a creative landscape design through a review of our process-oriented design work for the International Competition for the Toolonlahti Parks in Helsinki. I was invited as a representative landscape architect of Far East Asia in 1997. (The result of the competition was that we got an honorable Purchased Prize.)departmental bulletin pape
DESIGN WITH NEW METHODOLOGY : THE 'MEMORY' OF LAND, LAND ART, BIOMIMICRY
application/pdfThe purpose of this study is to develop a new concept of landscape design methodology using as a case study the design of a 'symbiotic' park in Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture. This concept addresses the problem of deteriorated landscapes. Presently, one critical issue in Japan is the deterioration of the rural landscape which began one hundred and forty years ago. At the end of the Edo period, a visiting English diplomat appreciated the beauty of Japan's landscape so much that he called it 'the garden island.' The word 'garden' suggests that the landscapes have well-tended rather than natural beauty. It is unfortunate that in the Meiji period the concurrent introduction of technology and modernism to Japan has led to the neglect of context in designing environments. Furthermore, the fundamental concept of creating space has been lost during the postwar period of hyper-expansionism. As a result, not only the rural landscape but also most of the city-scapes and town-scapes have lost their 'sense of place.' These chaotic vistas should be reconstructed and refurbished during this millennium. Only a new design methodology can rectify this problem. The definition of landscape architecture by Michael Laurie is 'Landscape is a reflection of dynamic, natural, and social systems. Landscape architecture is concerned with the planning and design of land and water for use by society on the basis of an understanding of these systems.' At this period of time when a paradigm shift is going on, a new concept for this field is demanded. In this study from the viewpoint of a landscape architect, among concepts derived from the site itself, three key concepts are chosen and discussed. The first key concept is 'Memory of Land'. As one of the assets of a site, the history of the land itself is such an important issue that the first concept should be derived from it. The second key concept is 'Land Art' which means to take the site as a canvas to manifest the will to the other world. The third key concept is 'Biomimicry' which is basically a methodology to cooperate with the nature, which is essential for recreating a site. These three key concepts of landscape architecture, 'Memory of Land', 'Land Art', and 'Biomimicry', which are needed for recreating rural landscapes, are examined through designing a 'symbiotic' park in Kashiwazaki. These are interwoven in the design of this park. In this report the process oriented design methodology is shown in several diagrams which actually made citizen participation easy in the workshops. Through studying these three concepts and design processes, a clue for the new methodology for the rural landscape is to be clarified.departmental bulletin pape
About the water-tower prior to world war 2 in aqueduct facilitating of period
application/pdfPrior to world war 2 period, the water-tower in aqueduct facilitating 51 bases was made with Japan. Distribution of the water-tower is biased to the plain section, as for especially Niigata prefecture quantity is many. Inside the prefecture being oldest, you can call the water-tower of the Nagaoka city Nakazima filter plant even among them that it was model example.departmental bulletin pape
