TED Talk:Building the Seed cathedral


Today  I watched TED Talk:Building the Seed Cathedral by Thomas Heatherwick.


 After watching, we have two questions.

"1. How do you think the connection between aesthetic design and eco-friendly implications can change architecture and the world?"

I think that the connection between aesthetic design and eco-friendly implications are important for our life because it is not just architecture. 
If it is normal one, people will think that it is not interesting.
Just way of thinking can change our lives into bright ones.


"2. What kind of things can you do in your own life that can help cities become more eco-friendly and more sustainable?"

I think that it is better that I have wide vision and thought.
 If I have some idea about eco-friendly, it might be helping for someone even this is a small piece of thinking.


For example, in japan there are zigzag handrail for elderly person and kids.
The reason of zigzag is that because it is easy to grasp.
When I used this one I fell comfortable because it never slide and also my grandmother looked that easy to grasp.
Japan has a lot of barrier-free space and I hope it will be made all over the world as well.

The Design Museum in London

Hello every one.

Before going to The Design Museum, we went to London Bridge.
There were a lot of people who were taking pictures there and I took many pictures as well.
I would like to go to inside one day.

Next, I went to The Design Museum, it was really fantastic for me because I like contemporary art more than ancient art.
There were a lot of modern product designs, especially shoes design which was really interesting,for instance, colour and shape.



The shoes that I was surprised by were made from rubber.
It looked like someone's blood vessel and was ugly but I liked this one because it used vivid colours such as purple, pink, green, orange and blue.
It was named "PROTOCELL FOOTWEAR" made by Shamees Aden who is a researcher and multidisciplinary designer.
She suggested to have a vision shoes in the future that was 3D-print shoes from artificial natural material it has same function with people skin from protocell technique.
It expands and contract with to respond to pressure.
As a result it will be easy to walk for people.

However, it might take over 40 years until sale because it is now project stage.
I hope it sale as soon as possible. 

I think that The Design Museum is more like using something method, on the other hands another museum such as V and A that has a lot of ancient arts.

Personally, I prefer new one and I would like to know more about new design and artists.

maker 13 Aug

Hello everyone! 
Today I watched the cinema named “maker” that was really interesting.

In the movie that left the biggest impression on me was the pretty girl who looks like normal girl but she is one of the greatest artists.

The reason why I remember her is that I have been attending art school since when I was in kindergarten. I thought that she is like the old me.
That’s why she reminds me of experience in my art school I had long ago.

Besides I remember that my teacher always told me that “art is for everyone and free, you can do that you want to do”.

When I was watching the maker, I also thought that art is that everyone from adults to a child can enjoy it.

There were a lot of artist in this movie. I think that their thinking and method are different each other but their common thing is that all of them are enjoying to create artworks.


Finally I would like to create artwork as well as that like everyone can enjoy it.

Project 3 ''Freedom''



Hello everyone.
Our group name is M2cpY2g!!!

First of all, we decided to develop the concept 
of freedom.
But we had a lot of problems such as that our thinking changed every day.


Everyone's face looked very confused and I worried about this.
I also thought that our concept was extremely dicey because freedom is quite a huge concept.


So we were talking about freedom everyday.
As a result, we decided to make the video that is about our freedom and we were using English and our own language.
I think that this idea is good because it is also to express the concept.


The day that was presentation, we are so nervous but I think that this presentation is the best so far.
Because the video was pretty good and also we could do interactive that use the post-it with audience.

But I think that our reflective point in presentation was that we had to use post-it more interactive such as put up the post-it on the wall like this.



As you know that our mind is different each other 
and of course my freedom is different each other as well.


Finally I would like to ask you again ''What is freedom for you?''
