Project-based Learning and Work Integrated Learning in Product Design: Work-based Learning Immersing Students in Authentic Contexts View Digital Media
Poster Session Sonny Yip Hong Choy
The Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong emphasises the provision of Work-integrated Learning (WIL) and Project-Based Learning (PBL) opportunities by exposing students early to the world of work, thereby nurturing work-ready graduates. The Product Design (PD) Programme is enhancing work-based learning by infusing ‘industry engagement’ into its core curriculum. During ‘industry engagement’, students will work on works tasks set out by real industry partners in an authentic context, including through real interactions with industry partners and tackling challenges of the projects in real-world context. This poster explores the process of using 'Gold Standard' PBL as a means to enhance ‘industry engagement’ and student directed learning in Product Design.
Extending Symmetry to Include Time to Characterize Motion Symmetry on Screen
Poster Session Jinsook Kim
Symmetry is a high-level phenomenon based on invariance considering balance and equilibrium through visually symmetrical reconciliation, and is a critical design principle. It actually corresponds to simplicity as the viewer’s experience. What can be symmetry in motion on screen? What can be “mirroring in time” that can explain symmetry or simplicity in motion? Existing examples of motion graphics in relation to symmetry is heavily depending on the footage’s symmetrical shape that animates such as kaleidoscopes. This research argues motion symmetry needs to be further researched. The research discusses guidelines maintaining visual balance while altering or developing events in time. As a methodology, symmetry from different areas for the dimension of time and rhythmic characters such as music and dance are carefully reviewed to translate them and build the research question and hypothesis of motion symmetry. The research considers mirroring in time and experiments with the rules of repetition for sequence. It discusses symmetrical reconciliation in motion such as the repetition of the dominant motion event while subordinary events or footages keep alter, or motion in attention periodically as recurring events throughout the movie. It is assumed motion symmetry as a visual principle is the viewer’s process to coordinate temporal integration balancing multiple events out in time for simplicity when a particular event repeats regularly. The demonstration provides a framework on which subsequent research on symmetry in motion will be based.

Sustainable Natural Lighting: Main Source for Interior Design Projects View Digital Media
Poster Session Naglaa Sami Abdelaziz, Gamal Elsamanoudy
Sustainable design concerns the impact of the designed environment on the sustainability of the renewability of consumed resources. Depending on the interior designer's knowledge in this field, these concepts applications will create projects dealing with human and nature respect. Natural lighting plays a significant role in environmental behavior and human behavior. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a considerable condition resulting from depriving humans of the circadian rhythm. At the same time, they are using natural light, as a sustainable resource, with the correct quantity in the right place, in tandem with changes in user behavior, to achieve energy efficiency. Interior designers need a full spectrum of alternatives to give them the opportunities to select the best for the project design situation, particularly in our Middle Eastern countries, where natural lighting as a sustainable resource is abundant throughout a large percentage of the year. This paper ends by categorizing the sustainable lighting tools based on the interior functionalities' needs for increasing or decreasing. Further, applicable studies are necessary to link human behavior and each group of these sustainable natural lighting tools.
Khaki, A Continual Reinvention: Color, Cloth, Couture View Digital Media
Poster Session Amanda J. Thompson
Khaki has permeated our culture on many different levels. It is associated with the military, casual wear, and certain lifestyles that include ‘preppy,’ the archaeologist/world traveler (who could forget Indiana Jones!), and the 1960s protestors. But what exactly is khaki? Is it a color, a fabric, or a cut of clothing, or something more? The word ‘khaki’ is a derivation of the Persian genitive word for ‘dust colored.’ The color itself has not remained the same over time, varying from yellowish-drab to dark greens, pinks, and grays. It later became associated with specific fabrics based on structure and fiber type as it moved from one culture to the next via trade and colonization. Various European and American expatriate troops adopted one or more of these fabrics as a staple to provide a consistent uniform appearance as well as a functional ploy to keep uniforms ‘clean’ from the grime of military life. Khaki also began to collect different names on its journey from one culture to another. Army cloth, chino, and suntan were some of these secondary names. In some cases, the cloth also became a style of clothing, i.e., chino. This study focuses on tracing the cultural history of khaki’s movement from function, to regimented military use, to popular culture appropriation to understand how the ‘idea’ of khaki influences the design of objects that are designated as khaki.
Designing to Live WELL: A Systematic Review of the Impacts of WELL Building Standards on Circadian Rhythm View Digital Media
Poster Session Amanda Burcham
This study reviews the design strategies of the WELL Building Standards to analyze the impacts of designing interior environments to support circadian rhythm. The International WELL Building Institute developed the WELL Building Standards to identify best practices in design and construction with evidence-based health and wellness interventions (IWBI, 2019). Light is one of the main external stimuli influencing the circadian rhythm. This study investigates the Light Feature of the WELL Building Standard and evaluates how designers can implement design strategies to improve circadian health for building occupants. Through the contextual framework based on systematic review methodology, this research consists of five phases. First, the author established the research objectives and questions. Second, the preconditions of the Light Feature are evaluated to determine the required lighting interventions identified in the WELL Building Standards. Third, the optimizations of the Light Feature are evaluated to determine the optional interventions identified in the WELL Building Standards. Fourth, is identifying the appropriate project types defined by the WELL Building Standard. Lastly, the collected data is analyzed to evaluate the WELL Building Standard interventions' impact on Circadian Health of building occupants. As a result, this study helps to define WELL Building Standards design interventions to improve circadian health for building occupants. WELL Building Standards can be applied to multiple design sectors. However, not all WELL features apply to all buildings. Further evaluation of design strategies for all design sectors is required to optimize circadian health to improve the health and wellbeing of all building occupants.

Poster Session Gamal Elsamanoudy, Naglaa Sami Abdelaziz
This paper focuses on the qualitative data analysis exploring the design process of any interior design project laterally with the design thinking theories. First, explore the interior design programming phases and their features from the theoretical and field point of view. Second, the investigation throughout the concept and design philosophy for any given interior design project. Third, the importance of sketching and its categories used within the interior design processes in a glance. The results show the concept application's structure in interior design thinking, showing sketching's deterministic existence for an unprecedented concept application via a rigorous diagram that shows the concept application's details conveying the importance of interior design thinking. Sketching is the tool that binds the design process of any interior design project. Starting by creating the concept, detailing the concept, visualizing the concept, and then along with the concept development till the step of the working drawings, the sketching is mandatory for an unprecedented interior design project in every step within the concept application. The main point is that many designs are without identity, character, or even theme, while the designer if having the proper skills, sketching, and follows the concept application processes; the results are unforgettable interiors that combine the originality and the precision in appearance. It goes the same for the interior design programs to strengthen such skills.
Digital versus Physical Textiles: A Comparison of Textile Appearances and Properties View Digital Media
Poster Session Trevor Collins (Hill), Amanda J. Thompson
The fashion industry is at a critical stage of evolving. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent port infrastructure issues, companies have been pushed to find more economical and available ways to develop their products, including 3D digital apparel design. Digital apparel design provides opportunities to apparel practitioners and companies such as Cotton Incorporated, Louis Vuitton, and Emilio Pucci to evaluate designs in a low waste environment. As 3D digital apparel design continues to integrate its way into the industry, it is vital that the simulated garments match their physical counterparts. Realistic fabric behavior is necessary to virtual design creation for practitioners to prototype and evaluate designs. Comparisons from 3D apparel creation software, Browzwear V- Stitcher, and physical specimens were created to assess if fabric in a digital space matches the properties and appearance of fabric in the physical world. Five 100% cotton neutral gray textiles with twill, plain, sateen, jersey knit, and interlock knit structures were selected for the comparisons. Fabric properties, such as thickness, mass, stretch, bendability, friction, and color were gathered for fabrics using standard ASTM/AATCC lab tests and compared to the parameters provided by Browzwear. Fabric swatches that display different sewing techniques (darts, gathers, pleats, and tucks) were created with digital fabric in Browzwear. They were compared to physical samples for evaluation of the realism of the visual representation of each technique. The outcome of this research can be used by practitioners in evaluating the realism of digital fabrics as the software continues to develop.
The "Dream Maker" of Metaverse: Architectural Thinking of Virtual Space
Poster Session Yanxin Wang
The three-dimensional nature of architecture itself determines the connection between architecture and digital art, and also makes architecture one of the elements that are easiest to migrate from the real world to the virtual world. Virtual offices, art galleries, concerts, classrooms, museums and the real world can be hyperlinked together to form the beginning of a virtual city. Communities and activities need space, which will create new demands for architectural design.
The Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Architectural Pedagogy: Improving Student Retention and Engagement by the Creation of Dynamic Input Materials View Digital Media
Poster Session Mia Ardiati Tedjosaputro, Matt Wallwork
The authors posit that the use of still images in architectural pedagogy to teach principles of design- rhythm and repetition, symmetry and asymmetry, scale and proportion, and other related principles is a very static methodology which could be improved in terms of student engagement and retention by making the input materials more dynamic. It is very difficult to convey concepts such as flow for example using two-dimensional static media. They have identified that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles showing short video clips instead of the traditional photographs may improve the student experience. This is not a novel idea- unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used for several years for site mapping, 3D modelling and surveying- but the recent increase in popularity of ducted camera craft (enclosed propellers instead of open propellers)- cinewhoops- has provided a novel channel for collecting dynamic footage both indoor and outdoor that was previously difficult or impossible with traditional semi-autonomous camera drones. This current research is a preliminary investigation into the feasibility of creating such materials prior to their incorporation into a first year architecture course.

The Difference between Originality and Modernity in Gulf Architecture View Digital Media
Poster Session Salma Dwidar, Donia Abdelgawad, Amal Abdelsattar, Amani Derbali, Hala Sirror
Traditional Gulf architecture featured architectural ideas that played a significant part in achieving compatibility with the region's harsh weather conditions. Gulf architecture was created on the spur of the moment, without regard for specific architectural requirements. It was a true reflection of the environmental needs of the communities in which they formed, in all of its natural and social dimensions, and it expressed the role and the dominant natural, cultural, and social surroundings. Western architecture has supplanted the Gulf architectural tradition, which expresses our personality and environment. This is not to say that there haven't been attempts to preserve the cultural environment and heritage singularities while striving for an Arabian identity and personality. However, these attempts have been few so far, and researchers are still working on greater understanding and a good formula.
