Alice 方律

Ba (Hons) Interior & Environment Design - 2019 Cohort

My Design Philosophy

My values are equality, protection and freedom. What I want to convey is equality of gender, race and everyone. In my design, I want to show my attention and help people of unequal status, such as women, children, disabled people and the elderly. While conservation refers to protecting nature, I will use more environmentally friendly materials, reduce energy consumption and not use techniques that will damage the local environment. And freedom refers to the fact that I want to be more courageous in expressing my ideas in my design.

Final Design Scheme

Design directions and proposed design drawings

Your photos can be taken in different places; they may differ in size, genre and theme. But you can create a common bond for all of them. Gather all the pictures that have the same range of color and create a color-thematic snapshot wall.

Design Narrative

With the rapid iteration of technology, the most distinctive feature of Generation Z compared to other generations must be the use of information technology. Generation Z, known as the digital natives, spend the most time on electronic devices compared to different generations, including learning, entertainment and social interaction, leading to a characteristic of Generation Z that other generations do not have - loneliness and insecurity. Online dating allows them to fill their loneliness while ensuring the security that Generation Z needs, something that is hard to find in Generation Y and Generation X. The contradiction between the desire to socialise and the fear of socialising makes Gen Z less likely to trust others and more likely to be attracted to their sparkle, in short, Gen Z is a lonely and contradictory combination.

The contradiction between the desire to socialise and the fear of socialising makes Gen Z less likely to trust others and more likely to be attracted to their sparkle, in short, Gen Z is a lonely and contradictory combination. The most distinctive feature of Generation Z to previous generations is that they live in a technologically advanced society, and in combination with other factors - family composition, historical background, changes in social structure, lifestyle and ideology.

Part II:  Pre-generation Z and Self Identification

'Because of the ubiquity of technology and various other factors, Baby Boomers are the most physical generation. They don't have online dating, which makes the relationship between people more natural and closer.'

Limitations and breakthroughs in the architectural design of the baby boomer generation

To recover from the economic setbacks of World War II, countries began to encourage families to have more children to make up for the shortage of productivity, and birth rates increased dramatically. Several Baby Booms have been recorded in history, usually due to exciting factors such as bumper crops, winning wars and sports competitions, but also due to superstitious factors. The Baby Boomers in the same region (Asia) will be different. China and the United States, both victorious countries, will have different characteristics if we use victory or defeat in World War II as a benchmark. Both are influenced by economic, political, and environmental factors, resulting in distinctive Baby Boomers in each region and country. And what they all have in common is that they have worked hard to rebuild their countries after the Second World War. Because of the ubiquity of technology and various other factors, Baby Boomers are the most physical generation. They don't have online dating, which makes the relationship between people more natural and closer.

Part III: Generations and Community

'The most significant difference between Generation Z and the Baby Boomers is the difference in communication, creating a generational gap that is difficult to bridge.'

The similarities and differences between Gen z and Baby Boomers

The most significant difference between Generation Z and the Baby Boomers is the difference in communication, creating a generational gap that is difficult to bridge. Virtual and physical ways of communication are complementary to some extent, but eliminating invisible barriers between people is something we need to solve through the means of design. Although there are many differences between Generation Z and the Baby Boomers because of their historical backgrounds, the commonalities they share are also very obvious - they are all eager to communicate. However, the older generation has yet to keep up with technological development, thus creating much disconnection within modern society. Similarly, Generation Z is overly reliant on technology and has become disconnected from society. However, no matter which communication method is chosen, it is only a medium. The real meaning behind communication is the connection between people.
