[0004/PC and A4 sheet]
context: my flat [Paris]
Function: simulation

explanation:
Computer is really complexed object and it is
consist of various kinds of items.
So, for user, it is almost impossible to fix it hard
wear by themselves, without certain skill.
One day, when I got home, I found this senary on
the table. My flatmate use A4 sheet of paper to
guide where the each pin belongs.

easy simulation tool is one best way to treat
complexity.

[0003/Filing box + black papre + clip]
context: PD office in GSA [Glasgow]
Function: Filing /Knowledge management

explanation:
"Naming or not naming" is problem of filing.
Without name, it takes long time to find where to store the
information. However once we put each name on the filing box or
files, that means we can not reuse the box with other category.
It is small but I am sure it is the problem except from milionaires.
Especially, the information in school, each year information or
category of information has been changing.
So creating some space for these changing is fundamental for
filing system.

[0002/energy & gas pipe + geographical infomation]
context: IDEO office [London]
Function: awareness

explanation:
In our dairy life, we've never imagine where the
energy/gas/water comes from.
And that blindness cause our selfish overspend.

This is very simple visualization and it only shows the
part of the energy root, but still it actually be one
good trigger to evoke users awareness.

[0001/soap with magnet]
context: ceramic department in GSA[Glasgow]
Function: soap+soap holder

explanation:
One of the problem of a soap is that it is very
soggy and slick when its get wet.
In the ceramic department, the soaps are always
wet because of their frequent use.
So someone put magnet into the soap(soft).

Small creativity in our life, something which I
really respect from my heart.
very much functional.
This is the origin of my research.
