飲食調理/輕量化/極簡生活

議題
Issue

我們希望在能達到家具最基本功能性的前提下,以互動元素為切入點進行設計。
蒐集資料後發現,多數家具都是以機能性作為設計考量,除兒童家具外很少以互動作為主要切入點。但我們認為人跟物件之間的互動很重要,因為設計師心中所預設的未必會是使用者的真正使用方式,物品雖然有他自己的預設用途,但要怎麼使用仍然取決於使用者。

We hope to design with interactive elements as the starting point under the premise of achieving the most basic functionality of furniture.
We found that most of the furniture is designed with the function as the design consideration, with the exception of children's furniture, which rarely takes interaction as the main point. However, we believe that the interaction between people and objects is very important, because the way the customers use the products may not necessary accord with designer’s thought. Although the object has its own preset purpose, how to use it still depends on the user.

觀點
Insight

我們發現運動與日常的飲食模式之間,皆能以理想的簡單飲食此一觀念貫串兩者之間。並且兩者的飲食調理需求上有著溫度的線性關係。

We found that the common idea of exercise and daily eating model is “Simple diet”. And there is a linear temperature relationship between these two diet situations.

對於長天數登山行程來說適量的營養素攝取不可或缺,
多數登山者在做事前準備時,會精準計算食物之熱量、重量、營養素。
並且為了確保及延長食物的保鮮期限,通常會先行切片、醃漬、乾燥處理,
讓山上也能輕鬆享受美味。乾燥也可達到輕量化之效果。

Nutrients are essential for long-day mountaineering trips. Most climbers would accurately calculate the calories, weight, and nutrients of food when preparing. In order to ensure and extend the shelf life of food, the food is usually sliced, pickled, and dried first, so you can easily enjoy the delicious food on the mountain. Besides, drying can also achieve the effect of light weight.
