The Design

About Taiwan Terrazzo Galvenā funkcija: Kalendārs

Dizains pēta Taivānas terraco taustāmo un emocionālo rezonansi, pārvēršot tā materiālo būtību daudzveidīgā dizaina kolekcijā. Taivānas terraco stāstu kalendārs kalpo kā galvenais medijs, arhivējot vietējās faktūras un to pamatā esošos stāstus vizuālā laika līnijā. Pārveidojot maņu pieredzi grafiskā stāstniecībā, darbs aicina lietotājus atgriezties pagātnē, ikdienas ritmā šķirstot laika nogludinātās, taču mirdzošās atmiņas.

Unique Properties: The core concept of this work is to show how time is preserved in the unique terrazzo textures of Taiwan, capturing both tactile memories and history within each surface.
It archives various terrazzo textures found in Taiwan, along with their underlying stories. Tactile sensations and memories are transformed into visual graphics, arranged along a timeline. Flipping through the pages feels like revisiting dusty yet glistening fragments of the past.

Design Challenge: The challenge was transforming 365 terrazzo types into illustrations with Taiwanese history. The project aimed to shift perception, repositioning terrazzo from an "outdated" material into a vibrant element of contemporary lifestyle.
Research: The main challenge lay in the sheer scale of content creation: transforming 365 different terrazzo types into coherent illustrations while incorporating a narrative of Taiwanese history.
Beyond the visual impact, the project aimed to shift public perception. Terrazzo is often seen as an "outdated" functional material; therefore, repositioning it within contemporary lifestyles was crucial.
Simultaneously, a balance needed to be struck in narrative depth, ensuring the story enriched the user experience.
Inspiration: This project focuses on "Terrazzo," a distinctive feature of Taiwanese architecture. Drawing from its unique material characteristics and our collective emotional memories, we have translated these elements into diverse design forms.
Project Duration: The project ran from Sept 2025 to March 2026 at Ming Chi University of Technology, Taipei.
The design is scheduled for public exhibition at the campus and the Young Designers' Exhibition (YODEX), the largest student design fair in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The Taiwan Terrazzo Tales Calendar is a tactile, narrative-driven experience. Users engage daily by flipping pages, where each date reveals a unique visual pattern paired with a micro-story.

To bridge the gap between digital/print graphics and physical reality, a genuine terrazzo element is integrated into the packaging, offering a multisensory connection that grounds the visual experience in material authenticity.
