About Gongche Sketch Book Książka interaktywna

Gongche Sketch Book to interaktywna książka poświęcona notacji gongche, tradycyjnemu chińskiemu systemowi zapisu muzycznego. Książka prezentuje przeprojektowany zestaw znaków gongche, dopracowany pod względem kierunku, grubości i wielkości kresek dla większej czytelności. W strukturę książki wbudowano 30-nutowy mechanizm pozytywki na korbkę. Do mechanizmu wprowadza się perforowaną taśmę papierową odpowiadającą zapisowi nutowemu, a obracanie korbką odtwarza zapisane dźwięki. Oprawa twarda z odsłoniętym szyciem drutowym eksponuje grzbiet i warstwowo ułożone strony. Projekt pozwala czytelnikom poznawać notację gongche wzrokiem, słuchem i dotykiem.

Production Technology
When designing the binding, bare wire hardcover is a special binding method, and its handmade texture can also echo the content and cultural heritage of the book. In addition, the exposed form of the spine shows the layering of the pages, and coupled with the feeling of hand touch, the reader's body and mind can be compared to enjoying the rhythm of music.
Design Challenge
In the process of modern character drawing for Gongchipu, it is not only necessary to ensure the standardization and readability of the symbols, but also to integrate them with other musical notation forms and the metric Pu character system for easy understanding. When redesigning the musical notation symbols, attention was paid to the accurate expression, conciseness and ease of understanding of each character, while also making these characters visually impactful and recognizable. On the basis of retaining the characteristics of traditional Gongchi Pu notation, the We conducted in-depth research and optimization on glyph direction, stroke thickness, symbol size, etc., and then created a novel, beautiful, and easy-to-understand Gongchipu character system.

Inspiration
At the core of Gongche Sketch Book is interactive design, allowing readers to delve into the culture of Gongche notation in a user-friendly manner. Through a comprehensive experience involving sight, hearing, and touch, it sparks interest in Gongche notation, infusing new vitality into cultural heritage. Friendly interaction makes learning easy and enjoyable.
Project Duration
The project will start in Nanjing in June 2022, be completed in Nanjing in May 2023, and will be exhibited in Nanjing in May 2023.
Operation Flow
The 30-note hand-cranked music box movement is used as the core mechanism and combined with the book structure. Its characteristic is that a paper tape with holes punched at the corresponding note position is loaded into the mechanical structure, and the hand rocker is shaken, and the punched paper tape passes through the sound comb to emit sounds. corresponding pitch. Using this principle, the musical notation of Gongchipu corresponds to the pitch hole position of the paper tape, so that after the reader has a preliminary understanding of the image and text, he can further insert the paper tape corresponding to Gongchipu into the movement. The interactive method further understands Gongchipu from the auditory dimension.
