设计癖记得当时去香港理工大学的毕设展现场是在周六,7 楼的分展场略显清冷。但很幸运的是遇到了 Jennifer,她是为数不多当时在现场的讲解者。身材娇小、皮肤白白的短发女生,声音细细的,扎着鼻环,显得很可爱。她说自己国语不好,但还是很谦逊很耐心地用国语给我讲解了她的作品。设计癖敢肯定,大家从后文了解了她的作品和大学经历之后,肯定会「WOW」。
此前设计癖发过广美交通设计系的毕业设计作品,有读者过来问「为什么没有船的设计」。终于在香港理工大学找到,且有好几款交通工具都是为适应水面设计的。设计癖以为:一方面,是因为香港更近海吧;另外还要看个人兴趣和视野了。
在未听这位设计者讲解时,设计癖以为这是一款很酷的游艇。
「这是一艘专门收集海洋浮游垃圾的电动船舶。」Jennifer 说。WOW....她要做的是面向海洋的设计,解决人类面临的海洋垃圾问题。小小的心脏,大大的梦想,就是这样了。
一.作品 OCSON 简介
OCSON 是一款自动化电动船舶,具有灵活收集浮动垃圾的功能。这艘船还可以利用太阳能和水力发电作为动能,进行海洋垃圾的收集。
该船能 24 小时自主运行,使用 6 个摄像头,每个摄像头覆盖达 50 米,来检测浮游垃圾,并配备卡尔曼滤波器。该船的全长 5.3 米,最多可容纳 2 吨废物,最少可收集细小废物由 0.2 立方厘米至 60 立方厘米。
在收集废物的容器中使用抽吸控制的方法。通过吸引水和废物一起进入船舶,吸力制造水流入吸头,废物置身体何处也容易被收集,它增加了船舶适应不同位置的灵活性,这使得在狭窄空间收集废物效率更高。再者,前部垃圾箱越深,吸力越大。
除太阳能电池板外,该船采用 70% 的可再生能源运行,水管系统占用了大部分能源能节省能源。在收集废物时,船只将水排,经过两个水力发电水箱,通过水力喷射引擎产生能量并作为机动能源喷出。
最后,在市场上海洋垃圾的具体数据相当含糊,通常很难获得。OCSON 的运动传感器摄像头可以捕捉垃圾尺寸和流量数据,可建立海洋废物精确的大数据,以便进一步用于研究甚至开发,以解决其他海洋物问题。
二.设计癖专访
设计癖后期又联系到了在纽约的 Jennifer, 做了进一步采访。
设计癖:可以为我们谈谈你作品的创作历程嘛?从创意产生到创作出作品的过程,老师对此作品有何指导意见?
Jennifer Yeung:Yes, Of course. In our final year project, there are mainly two streams that students would follow, which is the design in their specific talented zone and the other chose to challenge themselves. I went with the second one, transportation design wasn’t exactly my major. However, my thought was final year project is a platform for me to prove to myself that I am able to achieve a foreign zone of design and bigger scale project all by myself, therefore I went with it.
In the beginning stage of brainstorming ideas, I have already stick with the idea of ocean and water. As I was a former competitive swimmer, I spend lots of time in water. Cross Harbor swimming competition was always an exciting event for me, as I participate in it quite often. Yet often time, while swimming I usually came across trash, floating plastics, even though the organizers have claimed that the ocean have been cleaned before. This make me question, how serious is this problem. In a young age, as I dig deeper in to this issue, I have found out that not only Hong Kong, all over the world are heavily affected by this issue. Animals have died, it affects the whole eco system that eventually comes back to us humans.
Jennifer Yeung:我们大学最后一年,同学们可以选择自己专业领域或者非专业领域去做毕业设计,后者比较有挑战性,但我还是选择了后者,准确来说,交通设计并不是我的专业。我是想通过毕业设计这个平台来证明靠我自己也可以搞定其他领域的更高目标的设计,然后我就去做了。
创意之初,我就钟情于海洋或则水面,因为此前我是一位游泳队员,很多时间都是在水中度过的。我经常参加跨港游泳比赛,很让人兴奋。但是,游泳过程中经常会遇到漂浮的垃圾,像塑料瓶之类的。尽管比赛组织方已经宣称水面已经清理。这个问题从小就一直困扰我,因此也激发我深入地做些研究,其实这些问题不仅香港存在,世界各地都存在严重的海洋垃圾污染问题。污染导致动物死亡,影响到整个生态系统,进而反馈到人类身上。
Jennifer Yeung:Through research, was also very shocked that Hong Kong as a mature develop city is still using sampan boat with two workers and a net to clean the ocean. It is an extremely effective way to deal with floating waste. As I was also inspired by a saying “this is more difficult to reach for it than to attract it.” I came up with an idea that it could be flexible in collecting floating trash in various location, by using suction control to attract waste that are stuck under piers or even the gaps between boats.
Sketching and form prototyping was essential in doing the design, I had to work every day non- stop at least 15 hours in the second semester to try to achieve the design that I desire. My Tutor Scott Chin take a really great role in guiding me through the project, he was supper supportive, really understanding, always gives great suggestions. He guide me to break through hard times and push me to the better good.
Jennifer Yeung:调查结果有点让我震惊,香港这种发展很成熟的城市,竟然还在用一个舢板船、两个工人加一个打捞网这样的模式去清理海洋垃圾,这算是当下处理海洋垃圾很有效率的办法了吧。漂浮垃圾存在这样的问题,接触到比捕捞到难度要大的多。我想到一个办法,可以全方位多布点更灵活打捞这些垃圾,通过使用吸力控制来吸引卡在码头下面或甚至船之间的垃圾。
勾画和建模对做这个设计非常重要,我在第二学期每天必须至少工作 15 小时,才能实现我想要的设计。 我的导师 Scott Chin 在指导我完成这个项目方面发挥了非常重要的作用,他非常理解我的初衷且给我很大的支持,总是给出很好的建议。 他引导我突破瓶颈,让我的设计日臻完善。
设计癖:个人入读港理大设计学院,选择设计是个人一直以来的兴趣吗?简单谈下四年学习经历吧。
Jennifer Yeung.:Studying in design school have always been my dream. Since middle school I have discover my passion of art and design, I notice the art class I took at school wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to discover more about design in different environment, so I took the courage and travel all by myself to study abroad to Canada. In there it opens up my mind and taught me what makes design special, is it not only art piece but useful in a sense of value and or function.
Then I felt I never really have the chance to study the eastern side of design and moreover it is where my roots are. Therefore, I decided to came back to Hong Kong for university. In the meantime, I went to Spin Barcelona for two months of internship, which keeps me nurture in a multi-cultural experience throughout university life. PolyU is a design school that focus more into particularity, yet also let us discover the beauty in art and design. This school opens up my eyes to real life factory production, prepares us to work as professional designers in more industrial design. I spend quite a lot of memorable time in staying overnight in the studios and working in the campus. The environment gave me to also understand different programs of design, as we sometime have classes together in design history and all those fundamental design subjects.
Jennifer Yeung:能在设计院校学习一直是我的梦想。从中学开始,我就发现自己在艺术和设计方面特别有热情,当时在学校上的艺术课对我来说远远不够。我想去到不同的环境中发掘更多关于设计的知识,所以我鼓起勇气,独自到加拿大旅行留学。那里给我很多启发,我渐渐明白什么才会使设计变得特别。设计它不仅是艺术品,且富有使用价值和功能意义。
然后我觉得我从未真正有机会研究东方设计,但那正是我的根,因此,我决定回到香港上大学。与此同时,我去西班牙的巴塞罗那进行了两个月的实习,这让我在大学生活中经历了多元文化体验。理大是一所设计学院,更注重特殊性,同时也让我们发现艺术和设计的美感。这所学校让我更关注现实生活中的产品生产落地,致力培养我们成为工业设计领域的专业设计师。我有很多在学校的工作室通宵做研究的经历。这种环境让我了解不同的设计方案,我们会学一些设计史和基于设计主题的课程。
设计癖:大学期间还有哪些作品?获得奖项?及作品都是哪些?可以为我们介绍下吗?
Jennifer Yeung:Yes not only I did transportation design, I did public facility, electrical appliances, bag design, shoe design, accessories design, stationaries life style and tool design. I have covered a large range of projects, while studying in school. (All in website: http://www.jenniferyeungdesign.com)。
Jennifer Yeung:是的,我不仅做运输设计,还做公共设施,电器,箱包设计,鞋子设计,配件设计,文具生活方式和工具设计。 在学校学习期间,我的作品已经覆盖很多领域,这些都在我的网站上( http://www.jenniferyeungdesign.com)。
设计癖:在校期间,有没有跟企业合作的经历,出过哪些落地的作品?你的毕设作品现在有企业找你合作了吗?
Jennifer Yeung:I did internships while I was at the summer semester in year 3 in Barcelona, Spain in Fab Lab Barcelona. I designed a Foldable Lap desk, using traditional wood mold bending technique and using recycled pineapple leaf leather material to design the product. That product will be on in the fab market for purchase in the future.
Jennifer Yeung:我大三的时候在西班牙巴塞罗那的 Fab Lab 做实习。 当时设计了一个可折叠的桌子,使用了传统的木模弯曲技术,并使用回收的菠萝叶皮革材料来设计产品。 该产品会在 Fab 市场上出售。
设计癖:最后就评价下贵校设计学院的优劣,对要来学习设计的同学有何建议?
Jennifer Yeung:as I mentioned before PolyU is a great school for practicality design, but I gives space for students in exploring further in style and esthetics, sometimes base on each tutor preferences.
Jennifer Yeung:正如我之前提到的,理大是一所优秀的实用设计学校,为学生提供了进一步探索风格和美学的空间,有时候会根据每个导师的偏好。
设计癖:香港在设计方面的优劣,这个城市对你专业发展有何促进或者限制吗?
Jennifer Yeung:Hong Kong with the \"East meets West\" culture mix, and excellent location close to China for factory production use. It is considerable to be one of the best place to start product design business. Also over the years Hong Kong government have been putting great affords and recourses on promoting creative industry. Therefore, as a designer I would definitely also join in and to advocate design industry in Hong Kong. Yet Hong Kong have been seen as an economic and business city for years, it needs time for it to nurture new values in design, art and lifestyle.
Jennifer Yeung:香港是一个「东西合璧。」的文化熔炉,且靠近内地的生产基地,地理位置优越。 这里可以说是产品从设计到商业化的一个绝佳场所。此外,近年来,香港政府一直致力于推动创意产业的发展。 因此,作为设计师,我一定会加入并倡导香港的设计业。 然而,香港多年来一直被视为经济和商业城市,它需要时间来沉淀和培养设计、艺术和生活方式的新价值。
设计癖:你会去到什么公司工作?还是继续深造?
Jennifer Yeung:I am planning to work as a product designer and pause my academic journey, but continue with my education journey. I would love to work in anywhere in the world to obtain an international view, understand more that to get me prepare for being a mature designer. I believe to be a mature product designer the best method is to learn yet also contribute through work in a company, therefore having this chance I plan to work in a company that I can gain some design and business knowledge, and contribute my design ideas as well as excicuting skills to the company.
Jennifer Yeung:我打算作为产品设计师,暂停我的学术之旅,但继续我的教育之旅。 我很乐意在世界任何地方工作,以获得国际视野,了解更多,让我为成为一名成熟的设计师做好准备。 我相信要想成为一个成熟的产品设计师,最好的方法通过公司的工作去学习,同时做出贡献。因此有机会我计划在一家公司工作,我可以获得一些设计和商业知识,并贡献我的设计理念,如 以及公司的激励技巧。
设计癖:对选读设计的同学会有什么建议?
Jennifer Yeung:I would say and drop your dream, it might sound old fashion, but is it always right. Keep your dream even in hard times, and follow it when you can.
Jennifer Yeung:我会说有梦就要追,它可能听起来很老套,但是对的。即便艰难也要坚守梦想,寻找机会让它变成现实。
