YODEX 08' / 長庚大學工業設計 - 因為。所以，

新一代設計展 08'
展場以穩重的黑色系為主體，配以亮眼的桃粉紅光箱為點綴，營造出新穎設計師簡潔穩重又透露出年輕大膽的色調，簡潔神秘的氛圍充分襯托出作品的魅力；材質上更運用大量黑色吸音棉，將喧囂屏除在外，希望在人潮人往的地點讓參觀者享受到一絲寧靜，並傾聽設計師們想表達的涵義，讓產品說話、聽設計發聲．．．

因為。所以，
這場讓大學設計生涯劃下句點的畢業展，將成為我們未來設計的起點．．．
因為設計是解決問題、是找到新的生活方式，
所以為產品發聲．為生活設計，
「因為。所以，」是我們表達自己設計理念的各種方式。

Because. Therefore,

Because it’s an end, it starts.
The graduation exhibition represents a full stop of our college lives and also a launching pad for our future design career.
Because designing means solving problems, discovering new life styles, we speak for our products and design for a better life.
Because. Therefore, is a way to give voice to our concepts of design.

UNION / urban folding bike

在全球暖化日趨嚴重的情況下，在都市使用腳踏車通勤的狀況將普及化，”UNION”是一台全新設計的八吋摺疊腳踏車，將折疊車的機構都藏進車殼當中，在通勤的時候便可將車折起拖行轉搭大眾交通工具，另外我們將車燈結合龍頭一併設計，以及將警示燈結合進椅座當中，增加了夜間時的行車安全。Nowadays, the issue of global warming becomes more serious, the urban commuter will go work by bike with MRT or bus more often. "UNION" is a brand-new design of an 8-inch folding bicycle. We hide all the engineering constructions inside, that will be useful when you folding up and dragging “UNION” to enter the MRT or bus. In addition, our design to combine the stem with the headlight and the saddle with taillight that will let nighttime cycling become safer.


Design Issue1. 大多數折疊車在騎乘時會有車身扭曲的問題，因此在車體上必須一體成形。2. 收納之後以比較省力的方式「推」或「拉」腳踏車，而非用手提的費力方式作移動。3. 摺疊之後方便攜帶上大眾交通工具。4. 為了要配合其它大眾運出系統，因此必須折疊容易且快速。5. 晚上下班時通勤族需要車燈或反光板的裝置已達到騎乘時的安全1. Most folding bicycles has distorting problems while riding, so the framework of the bike must be integrated.2. After folding the bike, we “pull” or “drag” the bike instead of hand-carry it.3. Easy to carry on to the public transportation after folding.4. The process of folding should be easy and quick.The brake light and reflect light have reached the standard of safety.

目前台北市等大城市的捷運系統規定，乘客搭乘捷運時若攜帶摺疊腳踏車，必須要以「車袋」將腳踏車收起，若無使用車袋包覆，則不能搭乘捷運系統，因為腳踏車的複雜結構或是齒盤等尖銳的零件，可能會危害其他乘客的安全，若是人潮擁擠時更容易發生危險，為了解決這個問題，在UNION的設計中，在左右加上了兩片側板，不只讓腳踏車收納或騎乘時更美觀，再轉乘捷運系統時也不需要收納至車袋當中就能乘坐捷運，省去攜帶車袋的麻煩，也更能增加乘客的安全。At present, MRT regulate that passengers who want to take bike with them should put their bike into the “bike bag”, because the sharpness of component of bike might hurt people. Owing to solve the problem, UNION puts on two side boards, not only to make the bike look good but also save the strength to put the bike into the bag while protect other passers.
