Emotion has inalienablerelationship with culture. Nowadays, there is an increasing tread in designersto integrate culture elements in product designs. Based on previous emotional design theory,we made a thorough analysis from three levels respectively: visceral level, behavior level and reflective level and tried to work out a culturaldesign method with the purpose of integrating culture withtechnologically industrial design. Subsequently, to validate this method, we developed an interactivelamp design with multi-sensor technology, which called “Lightceremony”, inspired by a specialcultural element, tea ceremony.

ABSTRACT Using bioenergy systems in architecture provides energy by means of negative emissions technologies (NETs). It plays an important role in stabilizing CO2 emissions at low levels. This depends on options of low life cycle emissions (for instance, a sustainable use of biomass residues), and on outcomes that are site-specific and rely on efficient integrated systems that convert biomass into bioenergy. The objective of this study is to develop self-sufficient systems that generate bioelectricity and offer safety, electricity generation efficiency, cost-effectiveness, waste treatment, integration in domestic use, ease of use, reproducibility and availability. The study also intends to elaborate a general design method of embedding and utilizing microorganisms into architectural elements to achieve design ecology, introducing a multidisciplinary research application through a design theory aspect. The study is based on previous experimental work conducted by the authors. Microbial fuel cell technology was applied to exploit the natural potential of a fungal strain that was identified and optimized to be implemented in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to generate electricity. The outcomes were included in the self-sufficient cluster design that meets the aforementioned conditions. The novelty of this study is the direct use of a bioreactor of MFCs in a design application for bioelectricity production. It aims to reduce the currently high global CO2 emissions that come from the energy supply sector (47%) and from the building sector (3%), as well as to eliminate the need for large-scale infrastructure intervention. This self-sufficient bio-electricity cluster therefore outweighs other abiotic renewable energy resources such as solar energy or wind power.

The study aims to guide the assisted living facility (ALF) design, in which biophilic design, which is observed to have positive physiological, psychological, and sociological effects on humans, is observed, and the principle of universal design is accessible and designed for everyone. Since there is no place called a biophilic ALF, the study is supported by a nature-oriented design method called Green Building Rating Tools. Green building certificate systems are explored in terms of biophilic and universal design, and three of the certifications show credits linked to the theories researched. With these certificates, green building certified ALFs located in the same region are selected. With the methodology applied on the case studies of three ALFs that received these certificates, how and where biophilic and universal design patterns can be transferred from theory to practice has been examined. The study observed the extent of 14 biophilic design patterns in ALFs and tabulated how to find each pattern in these facilities according to the methods and places.

ntegrated design theory and method oriented to the product generalized quality is one design method facing to the full-function and whole performance. Design theory of barrel finishing equipment is put forward by the design of crankshaft barrel finishing equipment, function optimization and visual optimization design are mainly discussed, which can provide the design thought for developing new barrel finishing equipment.

At present, many domestic and international products' design are promoted the design concept based on the user experience or user awareness. It has been generally aware of the industrial design is no longer just belong to the narrow shape and design areas, therefore a correct understanding of user experience and user awareness is very necessary, whereas in the study of design theory, a lot of people have user experience mixed with user awareness as one concept, it's a truth that the both are closely linked, while there are certain differences between them, if they are mixed together, it will not only narrow us thinking play space, but also disable to achieve greater breakthroughs in the design process of innovation, on the contrary if the correct understanding and reasonable use of the both and furthermore transplanted into the design of the product, for the current field of industrial design, it is a huge reform and innovation.

Because of unique properties of locked sand (very high friction angle and very low cohesion), a new pillar design method based on present basic pillar design theories must be developed. Wilson theory puts its focus on confining pressure, which is related to friction angle and cohesion. Triaxial tests results show that locked sand at Pattison mine has an average friction angle of 57°, which means the strength of the material increases rapidly with the confining pressure, and average cohesion of 2.6 MPa. Results show that choosing Wilson theory as basic pillar design theory not only considers the high friction angle of locked sand, but also minimizes the effects of Wilson’s hypothesis of neglecting the unconfined strength.

Immortal products are updated and upgraded to go from application to application and, in so doing, to extend their life as long as possible. Designing such products is the key to a sustainable society from the circular economy perspective. It is a new way of designing that must be supported by engineering tools to be deployed in companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) included. The implementation of circular loops and the associated industrial systems are very dependent on the contexts and life scenarios of the products. Thus, depending on the products to be re-circulated, the processes controlled, and the actors involved, the requirements to be reported at design level are very diverse. This paper proposes a new design method based on lifecycle scenarios to be analyzed and designed. Supported by classical engineering tools that has been adapted for circular economy (CE) context, the lifecycle model enables simultaneous design of businesses, products and services and the evaluation of their environmental values. Three industrial design cases showing the application of engineering tools for implementation of CE lifecycle scenarios are presented.
