Den Design

Iwwer Craft as Time Capsule Buch

Dëse Projet ass déi lescht Dokumentatioun vum Hsiao-Wen senger Dissertatioun Fuerschung iwwer Handwierk als Erhaalungsmethodologie an der aktueller digitaler Zäit. D'Buch besteet aus dräi Deeler, ënnersicht den Iwwergank tëscht der kierperlecher a virtueller, Material an Donnéeën, Benotzer Engagement an Erfahrung aus der Perspektiv vun Handwierksgeschir an Erhaalung. Wéi d'Welt vu kierperlechen Aktivitéiten op virtuell Interaktiounen iwwergaang ass, goufen nei Bedierfnesser a Forme vun Engagement mat eisem Ëmfeld gefrot. Esou Ännerung weist net nëmmen iwwer den Objet an d'Technologie, awer och d'ganz Kultur am grousse Ganzen.

Dimensiounen & Verpackung: The dimension of the book is in US letter size: 216 mm x 279 mm.
Tags: design research, book design, editorial design, graphic design, typography, print, craft, technology, archive, postdigital, preservation
Produktiounstechnologie: The book was intended to be printed on newsprint papers and have debossing on the cover. Unfortunately, the plan was postponed due to the pandemic.
Fuerschung: This research aims to look at the transition between the physical and virtual, material and data, user engagement and experience from the perspective of craft making and preservation. Craft has always been a reflection of culture and identity. As our lives transitioned from physical activities to virtual interactions, new needs and forms of engagement with our surroundings were prompted. And such change not only exhibits via the object and the technology, but also the whole culture at large.

As craft and preservation being the two main cores of this research, it is important to explore different ways to archive the research process. In addition to this book, the designer had also built a website to document the research in another format. It is also interesting to compare the same content on two different mediums.
Inspiratioun: This book can be seen as an archive that not only documents the designer's research in writing but also organizes several other design projects, experiments, and references in a clear structure that supports the main thesis. The grid and the rigid layout of the book are inspired by letterpress, which plays a key role in my research on technology and web interface design.
Projetdauer: This research started in 2019 and was finalized in May 2020. The book was designed after the completion of the research, from June to August 2020.
