Design of lament2

In Japan, there is a universal public pension insurance system extending to all citizens. I think this is like socialism, but it’s very wonderful system. The right to get appropriate medical care is very important for every human being. It is close to the right to life. Please check our activity Peace-Keeping Design, PKD projects aim to protect this right of every human in the world.
By the way, are you reading Prof.Kawasaki’s blog? This blog are advising us to run away from capitalism. It is because it had been collapsed, I saw the affection of this collapse at the hospital I visited yesterday. It means the universal insurance system is collapsing. There are many patients with terminal cancer, they are bound to their bed. It is because it prevents them from falling out their bed, but it suggests the lack of nurse. This never indicate that nurses are lazy, nurses in this hospital are very very hard worker. I mean it indicate not the lack of nurse but the increase of patients. As a result, nurses are wearing out. In fact, the existing system can’t last any longer. This is very difficult problem… be continued.

I understood a little what Prof.Kawasaki calls design of lament. Today I visited a rest home for patient with terminal cancer. They were just the people who Professor calls impairment. They were just infant, it means they can’t do their things by themselves. When I walked through its hallway, I was close to crying, thinking my grandparents. I saw the ring of human life that all human beings go through impairment stage, disability stage and handicap stage when they are very young, and also go through handicap stage, disability stage and impairment stage when they are very old. I could realize it meant RINNE that is main concept of Buddhism. It will be long, be continued…

Education2

Yesterday, I changed my educational policy. In the past, I thought that children must learn basic skill of soccer, for example, sidekick and instep kick. I still have this idea, but I decided to teach why they need these skills. If there are objects in their mind they can absorb more skills. I haven’t got results of this action, but I think I will get good reaction. For these reasons, I think the examinations study for Japanese university that have no objects do almost nothing.

My Professor’s teacher said to him “The only miraculous thing is education.”, I heard from him, but I have not understood the true meaning yet.

Now I am the coach of the elementary school soccer club. My soccer skill and coaching skill is not perfect, so I don’t seem to have licence to coach children. Nevertheless, I fight this situation with my effort. I will write on this blog my impression and opinion through this experience.

International Friends

Thanks to my environment, I have many international friends. From France, China, Korea, America, Netherlands, Germany and etc., they are from variety of countries.
Today, a Syrian person visited our lab, he is a student of Prof.Kawasaki’s class. He has a distinct backgrounds that he was born in London, was grew in Syria, worked in Denmark and studied in France. Besides after working some years he started to study graphic design and worked as a graphic designer, and moreover after that he started to study Architecture in Japan. We are the same grade but he was older than me. However, he talk very frankly, so we could become a friend each other.
When I talk with them, always I think that they are very open-mind and they have international knowledge and experience. My professor said to us, “One of the important thing for our life is to store the mind with knowledge.” Therefore, I think to go abroad has meaning for life. In addition to this, I think to devote oneself is very important, so now I must follow Prof.Kawasaki and study everything from him.

Concept

Today I had a Prof.Kawasaki‘s lecture. In this lecture, I studied “CONCEPT” from him. Although I have used the word “CONCEPT” easily until then, it had been only harebrained act. He stated what is concept with simple words, but I felt it was profound message.
He explained that “CONCEPT” is consist of five element, Simile, Comparison, Resemblance, Analogy and Metaphor. These elements can change into factors if they involve time axis, then “CONCEPT” can be expressed.
Above painting was introduced as a masterpiece that express its “CONCEPT“. This painting that had been painted by Velazquez in mid of 16th century is wonderful at the point of expressing what he had wanted to express with five elements even more than excellent composition and very good painting skills. I couldn’t understand the meanings when I looked first, but I can feel its wonderfulness a little after professor’s explanation.
Although I could understand important thing in this lecture, it is different from mastering “CONCEPT“. Therefore, I have to train me in this point. At first, I will brush up my work for this class based on this lecture.

Golden Ratio

We can find out beauty in nature, historic landmark, art and music.
A constant ratio exists there.
From time immemorial, people have been calling it “GOLDEN RATIO”.
When you cut off a segment whose length is given by x
from a segment of the unit length,
the ratio of the unit length to x is equal
to the ratio of x to remain.
The ratio is 1.618033988… : 1.
This is the GOLDEN RATIO.
These sentences are abstracted from this page.
The golden ratio is thought fundament of beauty, therefore I learned this ratio early in the day of my design learning. Many people know the golden ratio is good balance, however we don’t know why it is. Ancient human beings had understood this from their experiences. It means this ratio seems to be programmed in our DNA. From this expectation, I can extract the relationship between science and beauty. i guess, this is the reason artists have to study science and also scientists have to study art.
I think, science don’t need rigorous accuracy because environmental conditions are always changing. However, it doesn’t have a chance for designer, because they need very precise drawing. In this case, this iPhone application will help you. This will guide you the abyss of nature and you can think real beauty. Don’t miss it!!

iPhone

Today, I finally got iPhone3GS thanks to the cut of Internet cost of my house. It can make me use Internet everywhere with great touch panel interface, for examples, I can tweet in real time, and what is more, it seems to provide me new value, for instance, I can pack the real things in virtual world. My professor predicted this thing would enter the mainstream on his other blog. With having this progressive device as a start, I have to think about boundary between real and virtual, going back and forth through them.

Miniaturization

Miniaturization is very difficult, now I’m facing this problem. In the past, I underestimated this technique, because miniaturization of what is already exist doesn’t seem to have any creativity, I thought it create nothing. They are probably true, however, I can’t help agreeing that it has strong need and importance. It can’t make the figure, but it can materialize the figure. According to this, it is important skill especially for engineers. If I want to be a real designer, I should understand this difficulty. Above picture is from TechEBlog.

Internet

My apartment will adopt cable TV for digital broadcasting, thanks to this I will be able to use free internet. I can get this infrastructure for free, nevertheless now I spend about 5,000yen every month. This incident indicate that dynamic movement of forefront become widespread and being wide-spreading break the price. From now this visible cable will despair and we will be able to get Wi-Fi everywhere. In fact, iPhone already can use Internet anywhere if you can use phone line, maybe it will be free before long. It is very wonderful thing. However, I have one question, is it good that the resource which sustain this system is only advertising revenue. I can’t explain nicely but there is some doubt.
