Meet Prof. Michael Fox

Meet Prof. Michael Fox

Due to Vincent (Prof. Yun Shang Chiou)’s arrangement, I joined a small talk in Prof. Shen Guan Shih’s course given by Prof. Michael Fox. Prof. Fox is a pioneer in the field of Interactive Architecture. He not only founded the Kinetic Design Group in MIT but also accomplished many interesting and classic projects by his Fox Lin Inc. Currently, he is a professor in Cal Poly Pomona and founds the Robotecture which is a term consolidates his thoughts of interactive architecture. I am so happy to have the opportunity to present my two projects (Florabot and Tangible Pixels (Pixelbot)) to him in person. (Note: Before Prof. Fox proposing the idea of Robotecture, Prof. Mark Gross of CMU and Prof. Ellen Do of Georgia Tech also defined a research field named Architectural Robotics which dedicated in turning spaces/buildings in to interactive robots. They published many research papers and kept offering related courses.)

經由學長Vincent(邱韻祥教授)安排，今天參與了Prof. Michael Fox在台科大施宣光教授的課堂上的小演講。Fox教授是互動建築領域的先驅，不僅於麻省理工學院創立了Kinetic Deisgn Group，Fox Lin Inc. 更是完成了多個有趣且經典的專案。目前他是Cal Poly, Pomona的教授，並將自己的互動建築的領域定義成Robotecture. 比較開心的是當面給他看了Florabot以及Tangible Pixel(Pixelbot)等兩個案子。（註：早在Michael Fox教授提出Robotecture前, Pro. Mark Gross of CMU與Prof. Ellen Do of Georgia Tech即定義了Architectural Robotics這個領域，致力於建築空間機器人化，並有許多的發表與課程。

Meet Prof. Chiaki Murata

Meet Prof. Chiaki Murata

I was so happy to be invited by Prof. Yinghsiu Huang to have a talk at Young Designer Workshop (YDW), one of the side activities of 2011 Taiwan World Design Expo, and met Prof. Chiaki Murata who is now a Professor and Director of KYOTO UNIVERSITY OF ART AND DESIGN and also the Director of METAPHYS. Prof. Murata won lots of international design awards, such as Red Dot, IF and Good Design, and also juries of them.

很高興接到交大學長黃英修教授的邀約，到東海工設系所承辦的年輕設計師工作營（台灣設計大會的周邊活動）來分享互動設計與可適性人造物的心得。更快樂的是遇見與認識了日本設計大師村田智明。他目前不僅是京都藝術與設計大學的教授與主任外，更是自己自創品牌的設計公司METAPHYS的設計總監。他的作品贏得眾多國際大獎外，更是這些大獎的評審常客。

Final Review of 2011 Fundamental of Computational Design

Final Review of 2011 Fundamental of Computational Design

This is my first official course, Introduction of Computational Design, offered in the Graduate School of Architecture of National Chiao Tung University. This course is mainly coordinated by Prof. June-Hao Hou and cooperated with Prof. Yen-Liang Aw Wu. I was introducing the implementation of Tangible Interaction (Arduino), while Yen-Liang was focusing on the programming of Graphical Interaction (Processing). The purpose of this course is to replace the conventional design thinking of students with the computational ways.

在君昊老師的邀請與規劃下，這是第一次和彥良老師（亞洲大學數媒系）合作無間，回母校（交大建築所）開了這門設計運算基礎。彥良老師教螢幕以內的視覺互動(Processing)，我則介紹螢幕外面的實體互動(Arduino)。主要是要使設計的學生轉換思考，用運算的方式來想設計。

Talk with David, one of the Arduino inventors

It’s my pleasure to have a talk with David Cuartielles, one of the Arduino inventors. He is talkative and nicely showing us the newest version of Arduino which can smoothly connect to and show content on an Android phone. Of course, you can control and manipulate content via bluetooth wirelessly.

Give a Talk at OpenHCI2011

OpenHCI is a coming workshop in July organized by mostly PhD students/candidates of NTU and NTUST. This workshop focuses on how to seamlessly integrate design and computing techniques to discover potential HCI territories. It’s my great honor to be invited to share some experiences and knowledge about “Designing Affordances.”

Meet Prof. Martin Brynskov

Prof. Martin Byrnskov is currently an assistant professor in interaction technologies in University of Aarhus in Denmark. We met while he was visiting CODE Lab in CMU for a semester 5 years ago. At that moment, we were both pursuing our PhD; I was at my beginning stage and he was kind of going to defend. It is really happy to meet him again in TEI2011.
