My name is Xutong Liu and you can call me
Crystal for better memorize. I am a UB
undergraduate student and my major is Medical
Technology. This semester I choose this online
Architecture courses as my one of my pathway
courses. Participating in this class, I learn a lot
through it. The knowledge I learn is more than
architecture and design stuffs also is a new way
of thinking. I can understand the different views
of the controversial issues from my group and
specially, the landscape design modules let me
understand more outdoor design. The most
compelling module I learn through this 14 week
which is the design of Donald Trump hats and the
Feminist activities. I never expected there are lots
of back meanings of a design. And the power of
design can bring this big influences.
Before taking this class, I thought its more like the
way to design a housing or buildings. However, its
more like understand the meaning of design and
learn the basic information of design

Response to “What is design?” from Hello World
On “What is design?” from Hello World: Where Design Meets Life by Alice Rawsthron
The author opened her chapter with the example of Ying Zheng, the ruler of the Qin empire, one of the
most powerful and enduring empires I the history of China. She explained howdesign innovation
contributedto Ying Zheng’s success. For example, in the development of weaponry, he resolved many
problems by standardizing parts, and this single innovationgave his armies great advantage over other
armies.
For this discussion, let’s move away from 246 B.C. China, and into the U.S. Describe an innovation or
invention (can be current or historical) that gave advantage to a group of people in the U.S. or to the
population as a whole. What were the social impacts of this innovation? Were any groups negatively
impacted by this innovation? For example, the telegraph, developedand patentedin the United States
in 1837 by Samuel Morse, permitted people and commerce to transmit messages across both continents
and oceans almost instantly, with widespread social andeconomicimpacts. This heightened
communication speed allowed business persons to make decisions with up-to-date information, often
resulting in big profits. Those without access had to rely on out-datedinformation, which put them at a
disadvantage.
Since I come from NYC, the subway is the main and popular transportation we used and however
because of its inaccurate schedule brings us lots of inconvenience problems so today I am going to talk
about the subway. The first underground line of the New York City subway opened in 1904.And the
subway had more than 26 lines and 468 stations and it become the most rapid transit system because
there is no traffic jam and accidents in the subway. Undoubtedly, the subway affects the City's Life and
Business. Passenger can arrive Mahtthan,Queens and other borough effectively and because of its
efficient many Newyorker choose to buy house in Queens and Bronx with nice prices and more
business were emerged in different boroughs. The subway services boot us the economy for sure.
The impacts of the subways are very controversy, many taxi drivers complained their companies were
influenced because of the low ticket fees and faster speed of the subway.Also the environment
pollution for using the fuel in the old days.

Response to “Introduction” from Diversity andDesign
On “Introduction” from Diversity andDesign: UnderstandingHidden Consequences
The editors state that “diverse participationin the design process, from both
professionals and public citizens alike, yields more equitable results.”
Now it’s your turn. Describe a design that was impacted by a diversity group. How
and why did it change form and/or circumstances? (Note that a design can be
anything requiring planning and development prior to the production of an action,
system, visual, material object, or environment. Also, keep in mind that, for our
purposes, a diversity group is a group of individuals who are underrepresented in
society in some way—children, older adults, the economically disadvantaged, those
with cognitive disabilities, etc.)
After I see the discussion board and the article, I couldn't stop thinking the designs
of breastfeeding room. And few days ago, I saw the most ridiculous passage on
Facebook which is discriminations of public breastfeeding. As we know, the
breastfeeding is the best way for new infants to get immunity and nutrition from
their mother. But somehow, this great action was viewed as improper situation.
Lactation Room really provides lots of convenience for new infants and mother
because they can have an option to get out of the public eye if that's what makes
them comfortable. Moreover, this kind of breastfeeding room can allow new
infants to change diapers. In these recent years, i can see the lactation rooms were
established in many public places, such as library, malls and airports. This kind of
thoughtful inventions for new infants and women show our society is actually care
what we need what we want.

Response to Media/Society Chapter and TED Talk on Photographs
FROM: Chapter in Media/Society and TED Talk Photos that Changed the World
Where would you place the images shown in Photos That Changedthe
World into Croteau and Hoynes' diagram entitled “Model of Media and the Social
World”? Identify a mass media photograph takenin yourown lifetime that has served as
an icon of an event. (Feel free to add an attachment.) What roles does this photo playin
the communication of the event?
In Jonathan Klein, Photos that change the World video, he used lots of
meaningful photos to illustrate that every photo have it own stories and
it have influenced our society in thinking and physical world. These photos
should be in the "Media message orproduct" category definitely, there is a
image of the African young children who is picking up the foods from the
floor. As we know there are lots of civil war in African country, these kinds of
heartbroken images have the important message to convey which is stop the
wars and save the country. I am strongly agreed that the images just no the
photography it has more powerful meaning in it!
The image really touched my heart which is the horrors of the civil war in Syria
are captured in this poignant photo of a frightened 4-year-old girl raising her hands
in surrender — thinking that the long-lens camera pointed at her is a gun. I felt little
surprised that this little girl thought it was a weapon rather than a toy or machine.But
then i realized that in the country with ceaselessly wars, those innocent kids have
been seen lots of different kind weapons when they grow up.Regardlessly,
its usual for them to not have wonderful thoughts of the unknown object compared to
other kids. The strong message from this image, not only the country should protect
and save the children.

Response to Articles on Hats as Communication Design
Thread 2: FROM: “Fashioning Protest for the Women’s March on Washington”
and “The Worst Design of 2016 Was Also the Most Effective”
NOTE: Use the first three part of the SEE-IT method of critical thinking(State,
Elaborate, Exemplify) to address the following questions:
Typically, we do not think of hats as elements of mass media or social media.
However, the two hats (red and pink) discussed in the articles certainlyhave
taken on that role. Why are the two hats (red and pink) mentioned in the articles
vehicles of communication design? What meanings do each of the twohats
carry? In terms of communicationdesign, how are they similar? And how are
they different from one another?
From these two article, it both illustrate the historic event in 2016 which is
president electron. The red hat represents Donald Trump's political campaigns and
it was considered as the most misunderstood and bad design because of the slogan
"Make American Great Again. The color of the red hat represented the
Republican party, however the slogan "Make America Great Again has
controversial meaning. Some people thought the it was a hate symbol and incite
violence. For the Pink hat, the pink hats were emerged on the Women's March on
Washington. And the pink hats are pointed on Trump's comments, public in
a leaked "Access Hollywood, about grabbing women by their genitals. In a simple
word, the Pink hats strongly presents the message of protesting Trump.
In terms of Communication design, both hats have bright color for visual signal,
Moreover, Trump and Ms.Azen both using the clothing as sign of one's politics. For
using it, it benefits other people who may not get to places to show that they are
support Trump or they are in solidarity with a movement. Also, the pink hat is
slightly different with the red hat on visually design. The ears on the pink hat
directly referenced the rude part of Trump's speech on women. Obviously, the two
hats are different in the color. The red hat can mean for good luck but for the pink
color is always has a meaning of women, such as the pink theme of the breast's
cancer.

Response to “Industrial Design” by John Heskett and “The Incredible Inventions of Intuitive AI” by
Maurice Conti
In his chapter on industrial design(writtenin 1987), historian John Heskett claims that the
methods of mass productionintroduced by HenryFord in the U.S. involved new concepts of the
standardization and integrationof the production line that were adopted across the world. With
Ford’s method, work could be completedby relatively unskilledworkers; it was more efficient and
with this method, products were made more quickly andcheaplythan previously possible.What
were some of the social consequences of Ford’s productionline? In other words, how did this
system change our U.S. society? Do any of those changes remain with us today? Now consider
Maurice Conti’s TED Talk, and the predictions he makes about production. How do you think
manufacturing processes will change in the next twenty years? How do you think these changes
will affect our U.S. society?
The assemble line was one of the key component of the Industrial Revolution. The Ford's production
line allowed manufacturers to produce greatly increased amounts of products at lower cost. This
system changes our U.S. society in many ways. During the industrial revolution, there were lots of
child labor emerged and the assembly line can directly have reduced the child labor because the
machine could do works more precise and efficient. The large scale assembly line allow mass
production produce and those change remain with us today specially the assembly line are geared
toward producing a specific type of product in mass quantities, which can make a company less
flexible if it wants to shift production to different types of products.
In Maurice Conti's TED Talk, it presents ideas about how human being work with robotics and that’s
the beginning change of the manufacturing processes. Human being work with ribotic and AI will
make manufacturing become more creative and better. For a instance, the "hive project" was
mentioned in the video was talking about the prototype the experience of human, robots and
computers work together to solve a highly complex design problem. The robots and computers do the
job of fiber winding which is impossible for human to do it. These new ideas will affect U.S. society
in different fields now, for example, only the Internet can help us convey our message to different
places as soon as few seconds so it will have a deep influence in our society as the assembly line affect
the whole world factories and companies.

Response IDEA Awards and Cradle-to-Cradle Video
Which of the 2016 IDEA Gold Award products seems to defy the Cradle-to-Cradle
concept developed by architect William McDonough and chemist Dr. Michael Braungart? How
does this product resist or disregard the concept? Do you know of any products that
embrace Cradle-to-Cradle design? If so, please describe.
The "Free Climbing" concept from 2016 IDEA Gold Award products seems to defy the Cradle
to Cradle concept. The Cradle to Cradle concept need to obey the idea of industry must protect
and enrich ecosystems and nature's biological metabolism while also maintaining a safe,
productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and
technical nutrients. However, In "Free climbing" the climbing wall can change by the mobile
app based on the challenges and interested. This may sound very convenience and interesting
for the climbing lovers and it can lower the cost for company to buy different kinds of walls. In
other words, the changes of the climbing wall you can’t control in specific slopes and
difficulties. people may easily get hurt by the unexpected change.
The design embrace Cradle-to Cradle design which is Bone Aid, the board can be used to treat
arm, legs and ankle. Moreover, Bone Aid is also flat-packed so it saves space and can be
moved easily to disaster zones or in developing regions with insufficient medical resources.
Patients can get well protection from the Bone Aid because the Bone Aid is more powerful
than the traditional ones.

Response to All Module 4 Materials
Your readings and viewings this week present different ways of thinking about
architecture. Mies Van der Rohe describes architecture as “The will of the
epoch translated into space.” Andrew Ballantyne describes architecture as the
background for life. Jeanne Gang describes it as the act of building
relationships. All agree that architecture can change based on context and
culture. Choose two works of architecture from any of your materials this
week—one with sensibilities about the past and one with sensibilities about
the present and/or future. How do each of these buildings either reflect or
challenge their cultural contexts? (Use the SEE-IT method to respond to this
question.)
In Jeanne Gang video, I found two special architectures that are truly meaningful.
For the first architectures building i think it has the sensibilities about the present
and future, ARCA center. This ARCA center has three way interactions, and
people can gather around the fireplace to share their ideas and gathering around
there. In nowadays, we are so emphasize the idea of sharing idea and protect
environment. The building wall is made of chords and its good for the planet
because the tree can absorb carbon. This architecture should be popular in present
or future life because it has new innovations from old model of meeting room
which encourages building relationship and materials recycle.
For the design, Togu meeting house in Mali has sensibilities about the past
because all the elders gather the low roof keeps everybody seated an an equal
eye's level. This original design is reflecting their cultural contexts because its
means everyone is equal and no one should discriminate anyone by their class
status and they all have the rights to share their ideas in the lower roof top
meeting place.

Response to Ballantyne and Zumthor Articles
Andrew Ballantyne and Peter Zumthor present ideas about architecture that seem to
value the sensorial and material elements of life. How are Ballantyne’s and Zumthor’s
viewpoints on architecture alike? More importantly, how do they differ? (Use the SEE-
IT method to respond to this question.)
In Ballantyne's and zumthor'sarticle, they both presents similar ideas which is how the
architecture can apply in daily life and it can not be separated from our life. In ballantye's eye, he
thinks the building is not the artwork,but the tools and the aesthetic appreciation of the building
cannot separated what it does. Similarily, in Zumthor's eyes, he thinks the architecture has its
own language and the language of architecture is not a question of specific style. Moreover, both
authors use instances from life to express the idea about people has its own feeling toward the
architecture. Ballantyne concluded that moving a new house needs to abandon the habits
attracted to the earlier dwelling and the building is not the focus of attention but the thoroughly
habituated background for life. On the other hand, Zumthor applied the idea of his aunt's house.
However, even though they share the similar ideas about the architecture there still are different
views toward their ideas,Ballantye focus more on how human life corresponding to the
architecture and the most useful way for buildings is living and how it forms our habits.In
Zumthor article, he focuses more on the creative works of building and the materials.
Response to Levy Article
Here is your discussion question on the Levy article. Please post your
own response, and respond to at least two other students' responses.
John Levy’s article, “An Overview: The Need for Planning,” discussed
ways in which planning candetermine the characteristics of a place. For
example, some smaller towns restrict the heights of buildings to
maintain a certain scale. How did planning define the characterof the
place in which you grew up?
My hometown is in Guangzhou, which is international city in China. Since
it was famous of international trading so there are lots of job
opportunities and the population is growing so large in recent years. The
growth of population directly causes the problem of living, so the buildings
are usually tall and even the TV Astronomical and Sightseeing Tower is
the tallest structure in China also it is now the third tallest tower and the
fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world. Basically, the main
character of the buildings in my city is tall. For other instance, the living
apartments in Guangzhou is 2 times taller than other cities’ and sometimes
you will feel so amazed that the living apartment have 100 or more floors.
In the article, Levy mentioned that planning can cause a community face a
serious unemployment problem, but i think it offers more
employment opportunities for local. Specially, build every building need
human resources and material resources. Moreover, we have to see the
purpose of the building, if the building is for habitants the agent can offer
different jobs, such as securities and sanitation workers. However, for
minimize environmental damage part, my city still doesn’t have good
strategies.

Response to Pruitt Igoe, Talen, and Larson
Imagine that you are part of a urban planning anddesign firm working
with Emily Talen (author of “Design That Enables Diversity”) and Kent
Larson (who gave the TED Talk "Brilliant Designs to Fit More People In
Every City"The thee of you have been tasked with developinga plan
to rebuild Pruitt Igoe in St. Louis. City officials told the three of you
that that they want to doit right this time. Identify three strategies
for rebuilding Pruitt Igoe in ways that promise to be more successful.
What would Talen do? What would Larson do? What would youdo?
How would your strategies differ from those of the originalurban
planners/designers of the project? Why would your strategies be
more effective?
In Emily Talen and Kent larson's arctle and Ted Talk, they both focus on
the big topic of urban planning. Larson was focused more on the
historical failure living building of Pruitt Igoe. in St. Louis. City, Pruitt
Igoe was a living building for whites and black people, the facilities
were degraded, there are lots of mice and roaches were everywhere and
residents subject to violent crime in the long hallways. The general
upkeep and the racist problems are the main failure issues of the Pruitt
Igoe.
In Emily Talen Ted talk show, it shows the modern urban living in
China. Talen showed the main point of diversity is absolutely crucial to
the long term success and enjoyment of residents in a
community. Also Talen mentions positives impacts as a result of
diversity, people come from different culture background in different
situations respectively cause people to bounce unique ideas off of each
other, which allows these ideas to grow and evolve. These facts would
lead to growth of the community. To sum up Talen and Larson's points,
they both bring up the point of how urban live planning can bring long-
term success of the city. In my opinion, we need to offer more different
buildings to people that they can choose their favorite living condition
and neighbors to achieve this goal

Response to F.L. Olmsted
Displaying his plan at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in
Philadelphia, Frederick Law Olmsted stated that "Buffalo is the best planned
city, as to its streets, public places, and grounds, in the United States, if not
in the world." What was the basis for this claim? Would Olmsted still make
that claim today? Why or why not?
Frederick Law Olmsted participated in the landscape design of central park
in NYC, and you will feel very amazing that the big rectangle shapes of park
can be located in the urban city as same as the Buffalo. Fredrick Law
Olmsted arranged Buffalo in very good ways, such as outline the comprised
of parks, associating expressways and rebuilding the green spaces of the
Niagara falls. Specially, in the way he rebuilds the Niagara Falls area and
produce the idea of national park that people can be appreciated for this
natural beauty is unprecedented job because of the geography of buffalo,
Erie Canal is good for the trading and industrial. No one could make such a
huge change of replacing the factories by green spaces. The three systems of
parks connected by "natural like"pathways is one of the reasons to explain
the best planned city, habitants can live with the nature and within a step
you can back to the park again. These pathways are presenting the role of
connecting the city from different boroughs of buffalo. In my own opinion,
the main basis for this claim is Olmsted neglected the city developments
even though it had a nice arrangements of the park. Unlike NYC, there are
still lots of shopping malls, food courts andmalls nearby the central park
but in Buffalo it was a different story because the park is desolated from the
urban areas.
Future more, Olmsted couldn't make that claim today because many cities
in nowadays are having the same idea of connecting by different pathways,
like in Washington D.C., different famous visiting places are connected and
around the connecting pathways there are lots of commercial stores.

Response to Walter Hood's Work
Identify something that shouldbe memorialized either onUB's campus or in
your hometown. Imagine that you are the person whowill oversee this
project, and that you are using Walter Hood's 'triad of investigations' as your
approach to the project. What wouldyourlandscape intervention
commemorate/memorialize? How will you use Hood's 'triad of
investigations' to design a new landscape intervention? What do you imagine
that the design will be? (Either written or visual descriptions are acceptable).
In my opinion, the place should be memorialized on UB's campus is Student
Union. Student Union is one of the most obvious and big building in UB north
campus. Moreover, Student unions should be representing free student
government run by students and every students should be get involved in it. But
somehow, expect some club fairs and club advertisements that could found in it
to represent students we can’t find another symbolism. So I think, so my plan is
we can rebuild the wall by using bricks, every graduate students can put their
name on the brick. The wall can mean the whole school, the bricks represented
the students. It has symbolized that the students support the school and everyone
is important and equal in the school. For using Hood's triad of investigations, the
first triad is "everyday and mundane" the different bricks could be used to
represent the different nationalities of UB students. The second part and final part
of the trait could be commemorative and lives. It allows students to interact and
receive school traditions from the brick history.
Yale and bring the community together in a space that honors her beyond the
bike path. For the third triad, life ways, it allows people to have a place to hang
out, exercise, increase connection and interaction.

Thread 1: Response to the Brookes
The abolitionist poster, the Brookes, is an iconic image that often is includedin exhibits that
explore issues of race and power. It was commissioned by Thomas Clarkson in 1788, and the
Committee of the Abolition of Slavery used it to inform and shock the public. While some
consider the poster as an important component of the abolitionist campaign, it recently “has
been strongly criticized by some individuals and groups of African heritage as providing a very
limited view of the history of the transatlantic slave trade, resistance and abolition (Hudson
2007).” The lesson here is thathow a viewer sees an image is dependent upon his/her social,
economic, and cultural position. Keeping this in mind,findanother iconic graphicthat
addresses racial issues and post it for others in your group to view. (Add it to your response
by clicking on the picture in the tools section. Do not add it as an attachment that needs to be
opened.) How do you interpret the graphic? What is its meaning? Now imagine that
someone from a racial and cultural background different thanyourown is looking at the
same graphic. Briefly describe this person. How might s/he interpret its meaning? How might
this differ from your interpretation? What are the possible reasons for these
differences?(Consider the three assessment principles mentioned in the article tohelp you: a
technology of vision, an instrument of empathy, and a symbol of control.) (NOTE: Limit your
response to less than 250 words.)
This image is talking about the relationship between race and all races should be equal no matter
you are white or black people. In this picture, the three men are holding their hands together, but
they are not the same race to each other. And they are hold the sign of “abolish race hatred” and
“smash the color line”, they all are against racism. The first man is a black man, the second one
is white man and the third one is an Asian. They show that difference races can be join together
and live as friends to each other.
If a black man/woman is watching this picture, he/she will glad that they are treat equal. It is
because black man/woman is the race that always get treats unfair. For my own interpretation, I
will feel the same as the black people. As an Asian, sometime we will get racist too. Because we
speak difference languages and we look differences.

Thread 2: Response to Charles Davis and equityXdesign's Work
Critique either the MLK Memorial or the National Museum of African American
History and Culture using equityXdesign’s core beliefs and/ordesign
principles. (Use the beliefs or principles that are most relevant to your critique
rather than all of them.) (NOTE: Limit your response to less than 250 words.)
The Martin Luther King Jr. believes that one day everyone will be equal no matter
you are white or color people, and all people can join together as a group.
Therefore, MLK created some civil right movements to pursue people to create
equity between all races. MLK’s movement is a perfect example of equity design. It
is because one of its belief is intentional about bringing stakeholders together across
race, role and gender. Also, it is welcoming all different people and creating spaces
where everyone can bring in their full selves and be equally valued.
The memorial shows how he dreamed of a world with equality for all. It really
shows how belief number 2 brings diverse stakeholders together across race, role,
gender and socioeconomic status to build relationships.

Response to “Landscape Stories” Chapter
First, let’s start with your own home. Describe a place in your
home (indoors and/or outdoors) that you think of as
representative of your own ethnic background and discuss why
you consider this place to be ‘ethnic’. –OR-- Describe an object in
your home that you think of as representative of your ethnic
background anddiscuss why this object is considered tobe
‘ethnic’. (If possible, add photo/s.) Is this object or place
something that you will keep or continue when you establish
your own home? Why or why not?
Now let’s move into your community. In “Landscape Stories,”
the authors show how landscape architects develop a historical
narrative that sifts through and interprets the culture and
material of underrepresented groups. Think about the
community where you grew up. Describe and discuss any
evidence of cultural influences on the physical environment in
your community. If possible, describe evidence of the cultural
influence of an underrepresentedgroup. (If possible, add
photo/s.) Is this cultural influence being acknowledged or
preserved from future generations? Why or why not? (Limit your
response to 250 words.)
There are lots of special parts of my house that always makes
me think of my ethnicity and from the Asian's
traditionally culture, specially the living room. Since my family
members were Buddhism so there are lots of objects were
related to it. The one strongly come to my brain which is the
sculpture of Holy Emperor Lord Guan. Lord Guan is one of the
best known Chinese historical figures, people putting the
sculpture in home to ensure the safety and bring wealth and
treasure into the family.
In my community, i grew up in the Asian descent so there are
still lots of temples surrounding. Temples is similar as the
church, people will pray and do self-reflective in there.
Moreover, there are lots of Asian Grocery stores which people
can buy traditional stuffs such as the ancient costume and
latents from there.

Response to Article on Sports Branding
This thread will focus on the ethnic characteristics of sports
branding. Please post your own response by Friday, March 31at 10:00
am, and respond to at least two other students’ responses by Sunday,
April 2 at 10:00 pm.
Recent controversies about sports brandingfocus on ethnicity. The
Washington Redskins team is just one example of the larger
controversy, but it receives the most public attention due to the name
itself being defined as derogatoryor insulting in moderndictionaries,
and the prominence of the team representing the nation’s capital.
Should sports team branding designers use ethnic references (Fighting
Irish, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Braves, etc.)? Why? Why not? What are
some of the complexities of this issue? (Limit your response to 150
words.)
.
This is controversial topic but i think sport branding designers could
use ethnic references. Firstly, the teams like the Boston Celtics is very
populated by Irish and it also represented the whole community when
the play for the games. For other teams like Fighting Irish and Atlanta
Braves i think is proper because it has its own meaning and both have
implication of success. Secondly, certain races are good at specific
sports. And you can see in the Olympic Games, in the running race
games, African Americans usually can get good grade because the
African Americans have flexible body and running fast. We have to see
the accomplishments what the team make not only focus on the
branding.

Response to "Visualizing Gender" Chapter
In their chapter “Communicating Gender,” Maya Ganesh and Gabi Sobliye
discuss two primary visual advocacy approaches: 1) get the idea, and 2)
stories in data. Find a new example of either of the two visual advocacy
approaches to gender issues, and post it in this thread. Cite the source.
First, identify the approach. Then explain how the designer uses the
approach to communicate a genderissue. Is the approach effective in this
example? Why or why not? How could this graphic be improved? (Limit
your response to 200 words.)
In this graphic, the company was using the "get the idea" visual advocacy
approach. This graph is message the audiences that women can get the same
rights as the men and also Under Armor is the sport branding. People will
think women not professional in sport so they don't deserve same rights as
men to buy sport stuffs. However, the women is dancing ballet by wearing the
sport clothes rather than ordinary ballet dress to tell us even though we are not
as good as men do in sport, we still can get the rights to do whatever can make
us delightful. This ad supports sexism and it may have even appealed to
females in this era because of the general ideology that existed: "men and
women have different rights".

Response to Bathroom Bill
Last year, North Carolina GovernorPat McCrorysigned intolaw a bill that repealed local LGBT
anti-discriminationlaws, and required people to use the bathroom that correspondedwith
the biological gender written ontheir birth certificates. This prompted massive backlash.
McCrory stated, “You know, we all have to make adjustments in life. And we’ve had the
proper etiquette situationfor decades in our country, and all of a sudden throughpolitical
correctness we’re throwing away basic etiquette.” Just this past Thursday, the North Carolina
General Assembly passed a bill to repeal the law while placing a moratorium on
nondiscriminationmeasures.
Should people be requiredto use the bathroom that corresponds with the biological gender
written on their birth certificate? State why AND state whynot. In other words, to receive full
credit for this question, you need to present an argument for both sides of the issue. As a
designer, how would you solve this gender dilemma?
At first, I think people should be required to use the bathroom that corresponds with the
biological gender written on their birth certificate because of safety and security. Bathrooms are
the private facility also its can be the typical area where the rape and criminals happened so keep
this from occurring people should go to bathroom corresponding to their biological gender. Also
allowing trans gender people to use the bathroom of their choice could violate the privacy of
other people while using the same bathroom. For other people's views, the transgenders is
endanger their own's right and our law is ensuring the social welfares beside concern about the
individual groups.
However, i have to admit that we can’t pander every sexual reference and we should embrace the
diversity of every individual. In certain conditions, transgender person being forced to use a
bathroom that is designed primarily for one sex rather than another would be disadvantaged.
Transgender individuals may get discriminations from everywhere of life and we cant take away
the rights from them to choose a bathroom.
For better solutions I think additional restrooms construction should be equality for all without
violating the rights of genders exposure of opposites sex. We can ensure the welfares of majority
of population while we care the feeling of transgender individuals

Response to Hidden Ways
Author Steven Flusty categorized five types of disciplinaryarchitecture that
perpetuate what he calls urban spatial injustice: 1) stealthy, 2) slippery, 3)
crusty, 4) prickly, and 5) jittery. Go out into the cityof Buffalo, and
find/photographtwo examples from the list of five. Identify what type of
space you’ve photographedand why it might discriminate against a
specific population. Identifythe location where you took the photograph,
and make certain that you are in at least one of the two photographs.
After reading the disciplinary architecture in the urban area, there are lots of
real life scenes emerged in our brain. In picture 1 meant to represent the
"Prickly"aspect of urban spatial injustice. When i was in elementary school in
China, there are lots of seniors students climb out the school wall to grocery
store during the Physical Education courses so my school used the fence with
pricks to prevent this happened.
The second image is the video surveillance in NYC's subway platform. In my
personal view, this video surveillance may or may not be qualify as Jittery.
Firstly, there are lots of tragedies happened like people are in death by
another person pushed onto the subway tracks and having this video
surveillance can ensure the safety however it may make people feel
uncomfortable since the NYC's subway was put into operation there were not
any video surveillance and people may feel uncomfortable with it.

Response to People Like Us
After almost two decades of public assistance, Tammy Crabtree took
herself and her family off the welfare rolls. But her job cleaning
bathrooms at a local Burger King barelypaid the bills. Crabtree
wanted to do better and hopes to go to college andbecome a
teacher.
Imagine this scenario. You are a designer who works at the well-
known firm, iPD (Integrated Planning andDesign). You work on a
team with planners, urban designers, policy designers, architects, and
social designers. You have been tasked to develop/design a way for
Tammy Crabtree and her family (and others with situations similar to
Tammy’s) to move themselves out of poverty. What will your team to
do to help Tammy and her family achieve their goals? What approach
will your team take to address this difficult problem?
Based on the circumstances of Tammy's family, the best way to get out
of poverty is letting the kids to finish high school education or getting
into the college. The knowledge is the main power to change the bad
situations. Having a good education for kids is not the efficient way to
get rid of poverty. Having a resource to fix their car is my first
strategy to get better quality of life. Firstly, Tammy can shorten her
travel time to work and earn more money also she can have the chance
to drive further to get higher salary job. Having a car can benefit all her
family members. Moreover, i think learning a new skill is better than
getting higher education. Its struggle for adult to getting back in school.
For a instance, majority of immigrants are not proficient at English,
however they still earn money more than Tammy since they have
specific skill. For Tammy, she can communicate well and there is must
be lots of job opportunities for her.
For her oldest kid, we should encourage him to purse his dream in
college because he can have granted the financial aids from government,
this aid can help the family in many ways.

Response to Enriquez TED Talk: “What Will Humans Look Like in 100 Years?”
For this question, we will focus on Juan Enriquez’ Life Two civilization, which alters
fundamental aspects of the body. We are living longer thanever before in human
history. Enriquez argues that, because of advances in bio-medicaltechnology, the
possibility of living to 120 years of age and beyond is quite possible for many of us
in this D+D class. Assuming that his assertion is accurate, how do you think
extended life spans will change our societies and built environments? What new
issues might designers face because of extended life spans?
Nowadays, technology is very advance in some ways. And now some scientists
believe that they can evolve cells to make human lifespan longer. I believe that
one day our technology can really do so, because we can now cure some diseases
which we cannot cure before. If we can extend our lifespan, which means there
will be more populations in this world. However, we have limited spaces and
resources. As a result, designers need to figure out to build more spaces for
human to live. For example, landfill, build houses on the surface of the ocean or
even in the sky.
The new issue of the designers may face is how to design the living apartments
higher to fit more population to live in.

Response to Carroll Article: “(Re)forming Regent Park: When Policy
Does Not Equal Practice”
The development of Regent Park is phased, and there are several more
phases to the project. What actions couldbe taken to ensure more
social integration for the olderpeople living in the ‘new and improved’
Regent Park?
To ensure social integration for the old people is to make the living
become more convenient and enjoyable. I think that we can have more
accessories for them like a pathway to the lobby, an elevator instead of
stairs and some bench chairs for them to sit around. Moreover, we can
provide some transportation for the old people, so that they will more
willing to go outside and join some activities. And we can create some
events like family day, let the old people join with the other families
and have interaction with young people
.
Also, we can add more activity for the seniors while the young children
can volunteer at that time. In on hand, the young children’s have more
opportunities to understand and listen from the seniors and in the
other hand, the seniors can interact with young children to the society
more.

Response to PPT, Smithsonian, and Roy
The two most frequently mentionedmodels of disability are the ‘social’ and the ‘medical’
models. The medical model of disability views disability as a medical ‘problem’ that belongs
to the disabled individual. The social model of disability, in contrast, draws on the idea that it
is society that disables people, through designing everythingto meet the needs of the
majority of people who are not disabled. There is a recognition withinthe social model that
there is a great deal that society can do to reduce, and ultimately remove, some of these
disabling barriers, and that this task is the responsibilityof society, ratherthan the disabled
person.
In the Smithsonian online exhibition, the storyabout the superhero hand, and Elise Roy’s TED
Talk, you saw examples of ways to engage disability that use the social model rather thanthe
medical model. In the Disability and Design PowerPoint, you were introduced to the concept
of Universal Design (UD) (sometimes called inclusive design, design-for-all, or human-
centered design). Certainly, UD embraces the social model of disability. In this same
PowerPoint, you saw positive andnegative examples of each of the seven principles of
universal design.
For the Module 12 Thread 1, please select one of the seven universal design principles, and
post photographs that show both a positive and a negative example of the principle. Then
address the following question: How do your examples empower or disempower various
people? Describe the specific features of the positive example and the specific features of the
negative example. Discuss ways that the positive example could be even furtherimproved.
I grew up and live in two different countries and cities, there are lots of differences between
two cities and the Tolerance for errors is the differences of design principles i want to talk
about today. In Newyork city, the subway platform does not have any safety protection
doors which increases many death rates annually. In China, the subway platform has the
safety equipment which is the safety doors.
The positive things with the safety door is it can ensure all passengers safety, and this design
can will not cause any traffic jam in the subway because the passenger is hard to get through
the safety door to get down the tracks, without this design people can easily go down to the
tracks. Moreover, its the good way to keep the railroad tracks clean. The negative things of
this design without safety doors is very dangerous for everyone, specially the
disabilities blind people.
Even though having the safety doors is the good design for public, however, sometimes the
door may be closed when people still walking inside the carriage so I think there should be a
bottom nearby the safety door to let passengers to force open the door to ensure more
safety.

Response to Survey, FIXED, and Stelarc
Our 2017 Design-A-Baby survey yielded the followingcharacteristics as indicated by a majorityof you: Sex: Male
(47%) Hair Color: Dark Brown (22%) Hair Texture: Wavy (33%) Eye Color: Blue (26%) Race: Caucasian (36%) Height: 5’-
10” to 6’-1” (45%) IQ: 131-140 (20%) Memory: Excellent (43%) Athletic Ability: Excellent (43%) Weight: Average (79%)
Disease Carrier: None (85%) Beauty: Somewhat attractive (46%) Empathy: Very empathetic(38%) Creativity: Very
creative (37%) Sounds like an all-aroundlovely person!
Currently, we have the technology for youto choose many of the survey characteristics in yourfuture child, andthis
ability to choose poses some ethical questions. Of course, we all want the best for our own child. However, as we
move into a more collective situation, we need to consider how the consequences of majority choices for children
might change who we are as a species.
In the film trailer FIXED, you were introduced to the dilemma of living in a culture in which the “science-fiction of
human enhancement” has become almost a way of life, from prenatal genetic screening to bionic bodyparts. In the
video, “A Man with Three Ears” you are introducedto an artist who is using current technologyto move humans
beyond their current abilities. Last week, Juan Enriquez asked us if it is ethical to evolve the human body. All videos
suggest that the concept of disability ‘as we know it’ could cease to exist in the future.
What lessons do you think we should learn from historywhen thinkingabout emergingenhancement technologies
and reproductive technologies? What are some of the possible consequences (bothpositive and negative) of being
able to design our bodies and the bodies of our children? What ethical quandaries do these technologies pose?
There are lots of precious lessons we should learn from history when thinking about emerging enhancement
technologies, However the most important things we should learn through all enhancement technologies is respect and
considerate. For instances, the crosswalk bottom and the wheelchair paths. The usual crosswalk bottom is high and the
disabilities people have real struggles to push the bottom. For the new inform crosswalk bottom is usually in proper
height that wheelchair people can reach. Also in nowadays many public facilities have the wheelchair pathway which is
very considerate for the disabilities people or for the new infants with baby carriage.
Without question, there are lots of beneficial when we can do the gene engineering. At first, we can avoid lots of fatal
diseases in human. Genetic engineering can also be used to help people by tackling diseases to ensure the younger
generations can live long.There are lots of children’s born with incurable diseases in every second and everyone want to
have a enjoy in happiness rather than taking care the sick children for whole life. Using genetic engineering this method
is the best way to prevent these tragedies happened.
Perhaps more obvious than the pros of genetic engineering, there are a number of disadvantages of doing the genetic
engineering. Every family want to have intelligent and healthy children so they will decide the same features genes on
the younger generation this will limit the diversity of society. Everyone own the same personalities, IQ and out looking.
We want to have differences, the differences teach us how to respect and get well along with each other. I hope we can
"selective gene engineering" which only allow portents to choose non-disease genes into the new generations.

The state of Massachusetts tried to ban the 1967 documentary Titicut Follies, arguingthat
director Frederick Wiseman had violated the patients’ rights by not getting written
permission to film them. The case went to court, and Wiseman argued that he had consent
from their legal guardian, the institution. After a judge ruled in favor of the state, the legal
appeals carried on for several years: in 1969, Massachusetts allowed the film to be shown
to doctors, lawyers, and health care professionals; in 1991, a superior court judge ruled it
could be released for the “general public,” as privacy concerns were no longer at issue, so
many years later.
Should Wiseman have been allowed to film the residents of Bridgewater Massachusetts
Correctional Facility? Why or why not? How might this film be of value to designers
(communication designers, product, designers, architects, interiordesigners, planners,
landscape designers, systems designers, and/or social designers)? In other words, what
might they gain from this film that they could use in their work?
I think Wiseman should shoot the residents of Bridgewater Massachusetts Correctional
Facility,this film strongly illustrate all the honor back scenes of treating insane people.
This exposure actions make public to think about the human rights of the insane people
and respond to against the cruel treatments. The insane people already have mentally
illness and their family members wouldn't pay for this bad services. This will be precious
lessons for designers to improve the correctional facility. For the communication
designer, they can figure out more best persuade ways for the patients like inviting more
psychologist to make special treatments for each patient rather than directly pushing the
medicine through patient's nose. Also, the cloth designers can design different color of
clothes for the patients instead of wearing the blue and white stripes top that the patients
can feel the correctional facility like a community or home.
For landscape designers, they can design outdoor recreational activity place for the
patients to maintain their mental healthy.

Prelude: Wolf Wolfensberger's seminal work "The Origin andNature of Our Institutional
Models" posited that society characterizes people with intellectual disabilities as sub-human
and burdens of charity, He argued that this dehumanization, and the segregated institutions
that result from it, ignored the potentialproductive contributions that all people can make to
society. He pushed for a shift in policy and practice that recognized the human needs of those
with intellectual challenges and provided the same basic human rights as for the rest of the
population.
The Scenario: Imagine that you and your four childrenlive in Amherst, New York in a $650,000
home at the end of a cul-de-sac on the edge of a ten acre woods. The town has purchased a
one acre lot three houses away from yours, and plans to build a grouphome for ten
intellectually challenged adults.
As a resident of the neighborhood, wouldyou support or oppose this proposal and why?
You've learned additionalinformation about the residents of the proposed group home in
your neighborhood. In 2013, three of the ten intended residents exhibitedchallenging
behaviors includingscreaming, public masturbation, repetitive rocking, and echolalia (elective
incontinence). However, these behaviors have not occurredsince then.
What are some possible solutions that would allow the residents of the home to be provided
with “the same basic human rights as the rest of the population”?
As a resident of the neighborhood, I will strongly oppose the building home group for ten
intellectually challenged adults near my home. At first, we can't ensure our safety of our kids.
Even though that 10 adults don't have the bad behaviors occur since 2013 but there are lots
of potential problems. Specially the public masturbation behavior will harm the development
of my kids if that adult do that again. Also the establishing the home group near that area
will devalue my house and no one want to invest the houses next to me. The new information
still strength my mind to oppose the proposal of building the group home near my home, I
have to protect my family safety first. For better solution, I think the home group can be
settle down near the urban area that they can interact with other people and there are more
polices and assistants in the public areas.

In his article, David Engwicht discusses the fact that religions (of all
types) have played major roles in the development of ourcities.
Today, places of worship are primary components of almost all
urban centers. Author Lorne Daniel writes “From their oftenactive
role in supporting people wholive in city centers to their iconic
influence on design and use of space, religious structures tell us a
lot about our history, our current needs, and where we might be
headed in the future. This is an aspect of our urban future that
planners and urbanists should attend to.”
Identify a place of worship with which you are somewhat familiar.
(If you are not familiar with any places of worship, do a bit of
research on one in your own city or town.) Show a photographof
this religious structure. (You may use photographs from the web.)
What roles has this place served in the development of your
city/town? How has it influenced the design of the area around it?
How has its role changed over time? What roles could this place of
worship play in the future development of your city/town?
I am going to discuss the Sacred Hearth Cathedral in my
hometown, the city i used to grow up which is Guangzhou,China.
In china you are seldom see any church in the urban area of the
city because of religious different. The site of the cathedral was
originally the residence of Guangzhou in Qing dynasty, this
cathedral actually was the promised compensation for
destroyed properties in the Second Opium War. Also this
cathedral has its own meaning stand for “peace be sincerely kept
forever."
After this site was established, it provides the convenience for
foreign to pray and that’s boost up the international trading
around that area. Moreover, this place also attracts the attentions
from many visitors to come by every year. Expect the economy
part, the most important thing is the Cathedral also influenced the
architecture styles of surrounding buildings. In picture 2, the style
of the housing keeps as western.

Consider the quote in your syllabus from educator Michael J.
Shannon: “Design, as vision in action--the intersection of
understanding and creation--is a universal human capability
that can play a fundamental role in social evolution, in the
process that transforms resources, energy, and information to
make our world.”
At the beginning of this course, we discussed the idea that we
are all designers regardless of our profession or field of study.
We’ve asked some big questions along the way, and the
conclusion section of our textbook raises additional issues that
require input from people who might not consider themselves
to be part of the formalized design professions.
Think about your own major and/or future profession. What is
the biggest challenge, problem, or question that your field
needs to tackle right now? What do you plan to do to address
this challenge, problem, or question either as part of your
studies or professional life?
I am in Medical Technology major now, and I think the
struggle of nowadays medical field facing is about how the
medicines can ensure the safety and have no side effects on
human body.
Technology, drugs and medicines and heal lots of disease.
However, the medicine has lots of side effects along with it.
People may be losing hair and gaining weight. So for my
major is researching the efficient medicines on human
people.

  • 3. My name is Xutong Liu and you can call me Crystal for better memorize. I am a UB undergraduate student and my major is Medical Technology. This semester I choose this online Architecture courses as my one of my pathway courses. Participating in this class, I learn a lot through it. The knowledge I learn is more than architecture and design stuffs also is a new way of thinking. I can understand the different views of the controversial issues from my group and specially, the landscape design modules let me understand more outdoor design. The most compelling module I learn through this 14 week which is the design of Donald Trump hats and the Feminist activities. I never expected there are lots of back meanings of a design. And the power of design can bring this big influences. Before taking this class, I thought its more like the way to design a housing or buildings. However, its more like understand the meaning of design and learn the basic information of design the Spring 2017 version of ARC 211 American Diversity and Design at the University at Buffalo – State University of New
  • 4. Response to “What is design?” from Hello World On “What is design?” from Hello World: Where Design Meets Life by Alice Rawsthron The author opened her chapter with the example of Ying Zheng, the ruler of the Qin empire, one of the most powerful and enduring empires I the history of China. She explained howdesign innovation contributedto Ying Zheng’s success. For example, in the development of weaponry, he resolved many problems by standardizing parts, and this single innovationgave his armies great advantage over other armies. For this discussion, let’s move away from 246 B.C. China, and into the U.S. Describe an innovation or invention (can be current or historical) that gave advantage to a group of people in the U.S. or to the population as a whole. What were the social impacts of this innovation? Were any groups negatively impacted by this innovation? For example, the telegraph, developedand patentedin the United States in 1837 by Samuel Morse, permitted people and commerce to transmit messages across both continents and oceans almost instantly, with widespread social andeconomicimpacts. This heightened communication speed allowed business persons to make decisions with up-to-date information, often resulting in big profits. Those without access had to rely on out-datedinformation, which put them at a disadvantage. Since I come from NYC, the subway is the main and popular transportation we used and however because of its inaccurate schedule brings us lots of inconvenience problems so today I am going to talk about the subway. The first underground line of the New York City subway opened in 1904.And the subway had more than 26 lines and 468 stations and it become the most rapid transit system because there is no traffic jam and accidents in the subway. Undoubtedly, the subway affects the City's Life and Business. Passenger can arrive Mahtthan,Queens and other borough effectively and because of its efficient many Newyorker choose to buy house in Queens and Bronx with nice prices and more business were emerged in different boroughs. The subway services boot us the economy for sure. The impacts of the subways are very controversy, many taxi drivers complained their companies were influenced because of the low ticket fees and faster speed of the subway.Also the environment pollution for using the fuel in the old days. https://www.google.com/search?noj=1&tbm=isch& sa=1&q=newyork+city+subway+cartoon&oq=newyo rk+city+subway+cartoon&gs_l=img.3...752.4396.0.4 566.28.21.0.0.0.0.295.2646.0j13j4.17.0....0...1c.1.64 .img..11.11.1985.0..0j35i39k1j0i67k1j0i10k1j0i10i24 k1.JFCd-Prz_U8#imgrc=RooR4NRO4UFjZM:
  • 5. Response to “Introduction” from Diversity andDesign On “Introduction” from Diversity andDesign: UnderstandingHidden Consequences The editors state that “diverse participationin the design process, from both professionals and public citizens alike, yields more equitable results.” Now it’s your turn. Describe a design that was impacted by a diversity group. How and why did it change form and/or circumstances? (Note that a design can be anything requiring planning and development prior to the production of an action, system, visual, material object, or environment. Also, keep in mind that, for our purposes, a diversity group is a group of individuals who are underrepresented in society in some way—children, older adults, the economically disadvantaged, those with cognitive disabilities, etc.) After I see the discussion board and the article, I couldn't stop thinking the designs of breastfeeding room. And few days ago, I saw the most ridiculous passage on Facebook which is discriminations of public breastfeeding. As we know, the breastfeeding is the best way for new infants to get immunity and nutrition from their mother. But somehow, this great action was viewed as improper situation. Lactation Room really provides lots of convenience for new infants and mother because they can have an option to get out of the public eye if that's what makes them comfortable. Moreover, this kind of breastfeeding room can allow new infants to change diapers. In these recent years, i can see the lactation rooms were established in many public places, such as library, malls and airports. This kind of thoughtful inventions for new infants and women show our society is actually care what we need what we want. https://www.google.com/search?q=new+york+city+s ubway&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source=lnms& tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi0wZvSm9TTAhXL6yYK HctgABcQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1440&bih=726#tbm=isch& q=breastfeeding+cartoon&imgrc=-By46-V4qYcNCM:
  • 6. Response to Media/Society Chapter and TED Talk on Photographs FROM: Chapter in Media/Society and TED Talk Photos that Changed the World Where would you place the images shown in Photos That Changedthe World into Croteau and Hoynes' diagram entitled “Model of Media and the Social World”? Identify a mass media photograph takenin yourown lifetime that has served as an icon of an event. (Feel free to add an attachment.) What roles does this photo playin the communication of the event? In Jonathan Klein, Photos that change the World video, he used lots of meaningful photos to illustrate that every photo have it own stories and it have influenced our society in thinking and physical world. These photos should be in the "Media message orproduct" category definitely, there is a image of the African young children who is picking up the foods from the floor. As we know there are lots of civil war in African country, these kinds of heartbroken images have the important message to convey which is stop the wars and save the country. I am strongly agreed that the images just no the photography it has more powerful meaning in it! The image really touched my heart which is the horrors of the civil war in Syria are captured in this poignant photo of a frightened 4-year-old girl raising her hands in surrender — thinking that the long-lens camera pointed at her is a gun. I felt little surprised that this little girl thought it was a weapon rather than a toy or machine.But then i realized that in the country with ceaselessly wars, those innocent kids have been seen lots of different kind weapons when they grow up.Regardlessly, its usual for them to not have wonderful thoughts of the unknown object compared to other kids. The strong message from this image, not only the country should protect and save the children. https://www.google.com/search?q=syria +kids+think+camera+is+a+gun&rlz=1C5C HFA_enUS708US708&tbm=isch&imgil=Q mTO3u5PYroBTM%253A%253B6bvJqwre v- aUKM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25 252Fwww.youtube.com%25252Fwatch% 25253Fv%2525253DHZtU8i082Vg&sourc
  • 7. Response to Articles on Hats as Communication Design Thread 2: FROM: “Fashioning Protest for the Women’s March on Washington” and “The Worst Design of 2016 Was Also the Most Effective” NOTE: Use the first three part of the SEE-IT method of critical thinking(State, Elaborate, Exemplify) to address the following questions: Typically, we do not think of hats as elements of mass media or social media. However, the two hats (red and pink) discussed in the articles certainlyhave taken on that role. Why are the two hats (red and pink) mentioned in the articles vehicles of communication design? What meanings do each of the twohats carry? In terms of communicationdesign, how are they similar? And how are they different from one another? From these two article, it both illustrate the historic event in 2016 which is president electron. The red hat represents Donald Trump's political campaigns and it was considered as the most misunderstood and bad design because of the slogan "Make American Great Again. The color of the red hat represented the Republican party, however the slogan "Make America Great Again has controversial meaning. Some people thought the it was a hate symbol and incite violence. For the Pink hat, the pink hats were emerged on the Women's March on Washington. And the pink hats are pointed on Trump's comments, public in a leaked "Access Hollywood, about grabbing women by their genitals. In a simple word, the Pink hats strongly presents the message of protesting Trump. In terms of Communication design, both hats have bright color for visual signal, Moreover, Trump and Ms.Azen both using the clothing as sign of one's politics. For using it, it benefits other people who may not get to places to show that they are support Trump or they are in solidarity with a movement. Also, the pink hat is slightly different with the red hat on visually design. The ears on the pink hat directly referenced the rude part of Trump's speech on women. Obviously, the two hats are different in the color. The red hat can mean for good luck but for the pink color is always has a meaning of women, such as the pink theme of the breast's cancer. https://www.google.com/search?noj=1&tbm=isch&sa=1& q=feminist+movement&oq=feminist+movement&gs_l=img .3..0l10.73155.77929.0.78083.31.25.1.3.3.0.168.2049.17j5. 22.0....0...1c.1.64.img..6.25.1960.0..0i67k1j35i39k1._i49iov aNFg#imgrc=U1kLBd5bomklbM:
  • 8. Response to “Industrial Design” by John Heskett and “The Incredible Inventions of Intuitive AI” by Maurice Conti In his chapter on industrial design(writtenin 1987), historian John Heskett claims that the methods of mass productionintroduced by HenryFord in the U.S. involved new concepts of the standardization and integrationof the production line that were adopted across the world. With Ford’s method, work could be completedby relatively unskilledworkers; it was more efficient and with this method, products were made more quickly andcheaplythan previously possible.What were some of the social consequences of Ford’s productionline? In other words, how did this system change our U.S. society? Do any of those changes remain with us today? Now consider Maurice Conti’s TED Talk, and the predictions he makes about production. How do you think manufacturing processes will change in the next twenty years? How do you think these changes will affect our U.S. society? The assemble line was one of the key component of the Industrial Revolution. The Ford's production line allowed manufacturers to produce greatly increased amounts of products at lower cost. This system changes our U.S. society in many ways. During the industrial revolution, there were lots of child labor emerged and the assembly line can directly have reduced the child labor because the machine could do works more precise and efficient. The large scale assembly line allow mass production produce and those change remain with us today specially the assembly line are geared toward producing a specific type of product in mass quantities, which can make a company less flexible if it wants to shift production to different types of products. In Maurice Conti's TED Talk, it presents ideas about how human being work with robotics and that’s the beginning change of the manufacturing processes. Human being work with ribotic and AI will make manufacturing become more creative and better. For a instance, the "hive project" was mentioned in the video was talking about the prototype the experience of human, robots and computers work together to solve a highly complex design problem. The robots and computers do the job of fiber winding which is impossible for human to do it. These new ideas will affect U.S. society in different fields now, for example, only the Internet can help us convey our message to different places as soon as few seconds so it will have a deep influence in our society as the assembly line affect the whole world factories and companies. https://www.google.com/search?q=industrial+assembly+line+c artoon&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source=lnms&tbm=isch &sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjWuraSodTTAhWD1CYKHXmPAJYQ_AUICi gB&biw=1440&bih=682#tbm=isch&q=industrial+assembly+line +&imgrc=nYf-gijyYXsrjM:
  • 9. Response IDEA Awards and Cradle-to-Cradle Video Which of the 2016 IDEA Gold Award products seems to defy the Cradle-to-Cradle concept developed by architect William McDonough and chemist Dr. Michael Braungart? How does this product resist or disregard the concept? Do you know of any products that embrace Cradle-to-Cradle design? If so, please describe. The "Free Climbing" concept from 2016 IDEA Gold Award products seems to defy the Cradle to Cradle concept. The Cradle to Cradle concept need to obey the idea of industry must protect and enrich ecosystems and nature's biological metabolism while also maintaining a safe, productive technical metabolism for the high-quality use and circulation of organic and technical nutrients. However, In "Free climbing" the climbing wall can change by the mobile app based on the challenges and interested. This may sound very convenience and interesting for the climbing lovers and it can lower the cost for company to buy different kinds of walls. In other words, the changes of the climbing wall you can’t control in specific slopes and difficulties. people may easily get hurt by the unexpected change. The design embrace Cradle-to Cradle design which is Bone Aid, the board can be used to treat arm, legs and ankle. Moreover, Bone Aid is also flat-packed so it saves space and can be moved easily to disaster zones or in developing regions with insufficient medical resources. Patients can get well protection from the Bone Aid because the Bone Aid is more powerful than the traditional ones. https://www.google.com/search?q=new+technology+pictures &rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa= X&ved=0ahUKEwj_gbujotTTAhWDPCYKHTKVAi0Q_AUICigB&bi w=1440&bih=682#imgrc=c2PuajX1CFKhrM:
  • 10. Response to All Module 4 Materials Your readings and viewings this week present different ways of thinking about architecture. Mies Van der Rohe describes architecture as “The will of the epoch translated into space.” Andrew Ballantyne describes architecture as the background for life. Jeanne Gang describes it as the act of building relationships. All agree that architecture can change based on context and culture. Choose two works of architecture from any of your materials this week—one with sensibilities about the past and one with sensibilities about the present and/or future. How do each of these buildings either reflect or challenge their cultural contexts? (Use the SEE-IT method to respond to this question.) In Jeanne Gang video, I found two special architectures that are truly meaningful. For the first architectures building i think it has the sensibilities about the present and future, ARCA center. This ARCA center has three way interactions, and people can gather around the fireplace to share their ideas and gathering around there. In nowadays, we are so emphasize the idea of sharing idea and protect environment. The building wall is made of chords and its good for the planet because the tree can absorb carbon. This architecture should be popular in present or future life because it has new innovations from old model of meeting room which encourages building relationship and materials recycle. For the design, Togu meeting house in Mali has sensibilities about the past because all the elders gather the low roof keeps everybody seated an an equal eye's level. This original design is reflecting their cultural contexts because its means everyone is equal and no one should discriminate anyone by their class status and they all have the rights to share their ideas in the lower roof top meeting place. https://www.google.com/search?q=tr ee+architecture+house&rlz=1C5CHFA _enUS708US708&source=lnms&tbm= isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjq142qo9TT AhWJ64MKHR_jCmQQ_AUICigB&biw =1440&bih=682#tbm=isch&q=nature+ architecture+house&imgrc=U9jHy- ZymRfqdM:
  • 11. Response to Ballantyne and Zumthor Articles Andrew Ballantyne and Peter Zumthor present ideas about architecture that seem to value the sensorial and material elements of life. How are Ballantyne’s and Zumthor’s viewpoints on architecture alike? More importantly, how do they differ? (Use the SEE- IT method to respond to this question.) In Ballantyne's and zumthor'sarticle, they both presents similar ideas which is how the architecture can apply in daily life and it can not be separated from our life. In ballantye's eye, he thinks the building is not the artwork,but the tools and the aesthetic appreciation of the building cannot separated what it does. Similarily, in Zumthor's eyes, he thinks the architecture has its own language and the language of architecture is not a question of specific style. Moreover, both authors use instances from life to express the idea about people has its own feeling toward the architecture. Ballantyne concluded that moving a new house needs to abandon the habits attracted to the earlier dwelling and the building is not the focus of attention but the thoroughly habituated background for life. On the other hand, Zumthor applied the idea of his aunt's house. However, even though they share the similar ideas about the architecture there still are different views toward their ideas,Ballantye focus more on how human life corresponding to the architecture and the most useful way for buildings is living and how it forms our habits.In Zumthor article, he focuses more on the creative works of building and the materials. Response to Levy Article Here is your discussion question on the Levy article. Please post your own response, and respond to at least two other students' responses. John Levy’s article, “An Overview: The Need for Planning,” discussed ways in which planning candetermine the characteristics of a place. For example, some smaller towns restrict the heights of buildings to maintain a certain scale. How did planning define the characterof the place in which you grew up? My hometown is in Guangzhou, which is international city in China. Since it was famous of international trading so there are lots of job opportunities and the population is growing so large in recent years. The growth of population directly causes the problem of living, so the buildings are usually tall and even the TV Astronomical and Sightseeing Tower is the tallest structure in China also it is now the third tallest tower and the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the world. Basically, the main character of the buildings in my city is tall. For other instance, the living apartments in Guangzhou is 2 times taller than other cities’ and sometimes you will feel so amazed that the living apartment have 100 or more floors. In the article, Levy mentioned that planning can cause a community face a serious unemployment problem, but i think it offers more employment opportunities for local. Specially, build every building need human resources and material resources. Moreover, we have to see the purpose of the building, if the building is for habitants the agent can offer different jobs, such as securities and sanitation workers. However, for minimize environmental damage part, my city still doesn’t have good strategies. http://www.theartcareerproject.com/wp- content/uploads/2011/12/iStock_0000165 23977XSmall-1.jpg

  • 13. Response to Pruitt Igoe, Talen, and Larson Imagine that you are part of a urban planning anddesign firm working with Emily Talen (author of “Design That Enables Diversity”) and Kent Larson (who gave the TED Talk "Brilliant Designs to Fit More People In Every City"The thee of you have been tasked with developinga plan to rebuild Pruitt Igoe in St. Louis. City officials told the three of you that that they want to doit right this time. Identify three strategies for rebuilding Pruitt Igoe in ways that promise to be more successful. What would Talen do? What would Larson do? What would youdo? How would your strategies differ from those of the originalurban planners/designers of the project? Why would your strategies be more effective? In Emily Talen and Kent larson's arctle and Ted Talk, they both focus on the big topic of urban planning. Larson was focused more on the historical failure living building of Pruitt Igoe. in St. Louis. City, Pruitt Igoe was a living building for whites and black people, the facilities were degraded, there are lots of mice and roaches were everywhere and residents subject to violent crime in the long hallways. The general upkeep and the racist problems are the main failure issues of the Pruitt Igoe. In Emily Talen Ted talk show, it shows the modern urban living in China. Talen showed the main point of diversity is absolutely crucial to the long term success and enjoyment of residents in a community. Also Talen mentions positives impacts as a result of diversity, people come from different culture background in different situations respectively cause people to bounce unique ideas off of each other, which allows these ideas to grow and evolve. These facts would lead to growth of the community. To sum up Talen and Larson's points, they both bring up the point of how urban live planning can bring long- term success of the city. In my opinion, we need to offer more different buildings to people that they can choose their favorite living condition and neighbors to achieve this goal http://www.theplanner.co.uk/sites/default/files/chin a_shutterstock.jpg
  • 14. Response to F.L. Olmsted Displaying his plan at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Frederick Law Olmsted stated that "Buffalo is the best planned city, as to its streets, public places, and grounds, in the United States, if not in the world." What was the basis for this claim? Would Olmsted still make that claim today? Why or why not? Frederick Law Olmsted participated in the landscape design of central park in NYC, and you will feel very amazing that the big rectangle shapes of park can be located in the urban city as same as the Buffalo. Fredrick Law Olmsted arranged Buffalo in very good ways, such as outline the comprised of parks, associating expressways and rebuilding the green spaces of the Niagara falls. Specially, in the way he rebuilds the Niagara Falls area and produce the idea of national park that people can be appreciated for this natural beauty is unprecedented job because of the geography of buffalo, Erie Canal is good for the trading and industrial. No one could make such a huge change of replacing the factories by green spaces. The three systems of parks connected by "natural like"pathways is one of the reasons to explain the best planned city, habitants can live with the nature and within a step you can back to the park again. These pathways are presenting the role of connecting the city from different boroughs of buffalo. In my own opinion, the main basis for this claim is Olmsted neglected the city developments even though it had a nice arrangements of the park. Unlike NYC, there are still lots of shopping malls, food courts andmalls nearby the central park but in Buffalo it was a different story because the park is desolated from the urban areas. Future more, Olmsted couldn't make that claim today because many cities in nowadays are having the same idea of connecting by different pathways, like in Washington D.C., different famous visiting places are connected and around the connecting pathways there are lots of commercial stores. https://www.google.com/search?q=central+par k+landscape+design&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US7 08&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKE wiW- bKzstTTAhUFVyYKHchGBYcQ_AUIBigB&biw=119 7&bih=681#imgrc=Za9EfgzCWRt1CM:
  • 15. Response to Walter Hood's Work Identify something that shouldbe memorialized either onUB's campus or in your hometown. Imagine that you are the person whowill oversee this project, and that you are using Walter Hood's 'triad of investigations' as your approach to the project. What wouldyourlandscape intervention commemorate/memorialize? How will you use Hood's 'triad of investigations' to design a new landscape intervention? What do you imagine that the design will be? (Either written or visual descriptions are acceptable). In my opinion, the place should be memorialized on UB's campus is Student Union. Student Union is one of the most obvious and big building in UB north campus. Moreover, Student unions should be representing free student government run by students and every students should be get involved in it. But somehow, expect some club fairs and club advertisements that could found in it to represent students we can’t find another symbolism. So I think, so my plan is we can rebuild the wall by using bricks, every graduate students can put their name on the brick. The wall can mean the whole school, the bricks represented the students. It has symbolized that the students support the school and everyone is important and equal in the school. For using Hood's triad of investigations, the first triad is "everyday and mundane" the different bricks could be used to represent the different nationalities of UB students. The second part and final part of the trait could be commemorative and lives. It allows students to interact and receive school traditions from the brick history. Yale and bring the community together in a space that honors her beyond the bike path. For the third triad, life ways, it allows people to have a place to hang out, exercise, increase connection and interaction. https://s-media-cache- ak0.pinimg.com/736x/12/17/3b/12173b71c1 61a08e0a493bc91d536330.jpg http://wings.buffalo.edu/int lservices/images/orientatio n.jpg
  • 16. Thread 1: Response to the Brookes The abolitionist poster, the Brookes, is an iconic image that often is includedin exhibits that explore issues of race and power. It was commissioned by Thomas Clarkson in 1788, and the Committee of the Abolition of Slavery used it to inform and shock the public. While some consider the poster as an important component of the abolitionist campaign, it recently “has been strongly criticized by some individuals and groups of African heritage as providing a very limited view of the history of the transatlantic slave trade, resistance and abolition (Hudson 2007).” The lesson here is thathow a viewer sees an image is dependent upon his/her social, economic, and cultural position. Keeping this in mind,findanother iconic graphicthat addresses racial issues and post it for others in your group to view. (Add it to your response by clicking on the picture in the tools section. Do not add it as an attachment that needs to be opened.) How do you interpret the graphic? What is its meaning? Now imagine that someone from a racial and cultural background different thanyourown is looking at the same graphic. Briefly describe this person. How might s/he interpret its meaning? How might this differ from your interpretation? What are the possible reasons for these differences?(Consider the three assessment principles mentioned in the article tohelp you: a technology of vision, an instrument of empathy, and a symbol of control.) (NOTE: Limit your response to less than 250 words.) This image is talking about the relationship between race and all races should be equal no matter you are white or black people. In this picture, the three men are holding their hands together, but they are not the same race to each other. And they are hold the sign of “abolish race hatred” and “smash the color line”, they all are against racism. The first man is a black man, the second one is white man and the third one is an Asian. They show that difference races can be join together and live as friends to each other. If a black man/woman is watching this picture, he/she will glad that they are treat equal. It is because black man/woman is the race that always get treats unfair. For my own interpretation, I will feel the same as the black people. As an Asian, sometime we will get racist too. Because we speak difference languages and we look differences. https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/courses/1/2171_14992 _COMB/db/_3635490_1/embedded/Picture1.png
  • 17. Thread 2: Response to Charles Davis and equityXdesign's Work Critique either the MLK Memorial or the National Museum of African American History and Culture using equityXdesign’s core beliefs and/ordesign principles. (Use the beliefs or principles that are most relevant to your critique rather than all of them.) (NOTE: Limit your response to less than 250 words.) The Martin Luther King Jr. believes that one day everyone will be equal no matter you are white or color people, and all people can join together as a group. Therefore, MLK created some civil right movements to pursue people to create equity between all races. MLK’s movement is a perfect example of equity design. It is because one of its belief is intentional about bringing stakeholders together across race, role and gender. Also, it is welcoming all different people and creating spaces where everyone can bring in their full selves and be equally valued. The memorial shows how he dreamed of a world with equality for all. It really shows how belief number 2 brings diverse stakeholders together across race, role, gender and socioeconomic status to build relationships. http://kids.nationalgeographic.co m/content/dam/kids/photos/arti cles/History/M-Z/mlk-jr-05.jpg

(If possible, add photo/s.) Is this object or place something that you will keep or continue when you establish your own home? Why or why not? Now let’s move into your community. In “Landscape Stories,” the authors show how landscape architects develop a historical narrative that sifts through and interprets the culture and material of underrepresented groups. Think about the community where you grew up. Describe and discuss any evidence of cultural influences on the physical environment in your community. If possible, describe evidence of the cultural influence of an underrepresentedgroup. (If possible, add photo/s.) Is this cultural influence being acknowledged or preserved from future generations? Why or why not? (Limit your response to 250 words.) There are lots of special parts of my house that always makes me think of my ethnicity and from the Asian's traditionally culture, specially the living room. Since my family members were Buddhism so there are lots of objects were related to it. The one strongly come to my brain which is the sculpture of Holy Emperor Lord Guan. Lord Guan is one of the best known Chinese historical figures, people putting the sculpture in home to ensure the safety and bring wealth and treasure into the family. In my community, i grew up in the Asian descent so there are still lots of temples surrounding. Temples is similar as the church, people will pray and do self-reflective in there. Moreover, there are lots of Asian Grocery stores which people can buy traditional stuffs such as the ancient costume and latents from there. http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/c ontent/dam/kids/photos/articles/Hist ory/M-Z/mlk-jr-05.jpg

Please post your own response by Friday, March 31at 10:00 am, and respond to at least two other students’ responses by Sunday, April 2 at 10:00 pm. Recent controversies about sports brandingfocus on ethnicity. The Washington Redskins team is just one example of the larger controversy, but it receives the most public attention due to the name itself being defined as derogatoryor insulting in moderndictionaries, and the prominence of the team representing the nation’s capital. Should sports team branding designers use ethnic references (Fighting Irish, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Braves, etc.)? Why? Why not? What are some of the complexities of this issue? (Limit your response to 150 words.) . This is controversial topic but i think sport branding designers could use ethnic references. Firstly, the teams like the Boston Celtics is very populated by Irish and it also represented the whole community when the play for the games. For other teams like Fighting Irish and Atlanta Braves i think is proper because it has its own meaning and both have implication of success. Secondly, certain races are good at specific sports. And you can see in the Olympic Games, in the running race games, African Americans usually can get good grade because the African Americans have flexible body and running fast. We have to see the accomplishments what the team make not only focus on the branding. https://yt3.ggpht.com/- YusQqFx7_YI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAA A/x6OgQsZHonQ/s900-c-k-no-mo-rj- c0xffffff/photo.jpg

This graph is message the audiences that women can get the same rights as the men and also Under Armor is the sport branding. People will think women not professional in sport so they don't deserve same rights as men to buy sport stuffs. However, the women is dancing ballet by wearing the sport clothes rather than ordinary ballet dress to tell us even though we are not as good as men do in sport, we still can get the rights to do whatever can make us delightful.

  • 21. Response to Bathroom Bill Last year, North Carolina GovernorPat McCrorysigned intolaw a bill that repealed local LGBT anti-discriminationlaws, and required people to use the bathroom that correspondedwith the biological gender written ontheir birth certificates. This prompted massive backlash. McCrory stated, “You know, we all have to make adjustments in life. And we’ve had the proper etiquette situationfor decades in our country, and all of a sudden throughpolitical correctness we’re throwing away basic etiquette.” Just this past Thursday, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill to repeal the law while placing a moratorium on nondiscriminationmeasures. Should people be requiredto use the bathroom that corresponds with the biological gender written on their birth certificate? State why AND state whynot. In other words, to receive full credit for this question, you need to present an argument for both sides of the issue. As a designer, how would you solve this gender dilemma? At first, I think people should be required to use the bathroom that corresponds with the biological gender written on their birth certificate because of safety and security. Bathrooms are the private facility also its can be the typical area where the rape and criminals happened so keep this from occurring people should go to bathroom corresponding to their biological gender. Also allowing trans gender people to use the bathroom of their choice could violate the privacy of other people while using the same bathroom. For other people's views, the transgenders is endanger their own's right and our law is ensuring the social welfares beside concern about the individual groups. However, i have to admit that we can’t pander every sexual reference and we should embrace the diversity of every individual. In certain conditions, transgender person being forced to use a bathroom that is designed primarily for one sex rather than another would be disadvantaged. Transgender individuals may get discriminations from everywhere of life and we cant take away the rights from them to choose a bathroom. For better solutions I think additional restrooms construction should be equality for all without violating the rights of genders exposure of opposites sex. We can ensure the welfares of majority of population while we care the feeling of transgender individuals https://www.google.com/search?q=sport+branding &rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source=lnms&tbm =isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU- vuq5tTTAhVK3mMKHThmD9cQ_AUICigB&biw=1197 &bih=682#tbm=isch&q=transgender+rights&imgrc= lZYCt2ieWgKkvM:

After reading the disciplinary architecture in the urban area, there are lots of real life scenes emerged in our brain. In picture 1 meant to represent the "Prickly"aspect of urban spatial injustice. When i was in elementary school in China, there are lots of seniors students climb out the school wall to grocery store during the Physical Education courses so my school used the fence with pricks to prevent this happened. The second image is the video surveillance in NYC's subway platform. In my personal view, this video surveillance may or may not be qualify as Jittery. Firstly, there are lots of tragedies happened like people are in death by another person pushed onto the subway tracks and having this video surveillance can ensure the safety however it may make people feel uncomfortable since the NYC's subway was put into operation there were not any video surveillance and people may feel uncomfortable with it. https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/courses /1/2171_14992_COMB/db/_367464 0_1/embedded/timg.jpeg https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/cou rses/1/2171_14992_COMB/db/_ 3674640_1/embedded/alg- subway-cameras-jpg.jpg
  • 23. Response to People Like Us After almost two decades of public assistance, Tammy Crabtree took herself and her family off the welfare rolls. But her job cleaning bathrooms at a local Burger King barelypaid the bills. Crabtree wanted to do better and hopes to go to college andbecome a teacher. Imagine this scenario. You are a designer who works at the well- known firm, iPD (Integrated Planning andDesign). You work on a team with planners, urban designers, policy designers, architects, and social designers. You have been tasked to develop/design a way for Tammy Crabtree and her family (and others with situations similar to Tammy’s) to move themselves out of poverty. What will your team to do to help Tammy and her family achieve their goals? What approach will your team take to address this difficult problem? Based on the circumstances of Tammy's family, the best way to get out of poverty is letting the kids to finish high school education or getting into the college. The knowledge is the main power to change the bad situations. Having a good education for kids is not the efficient way to get rid of poverty. Having a resource to fix their car is my first strategy to get better quality of life. Firstly, Tammy can shorten her travel time to work and earn more money also she can have the chance to drive further to get higher salary job. Having a car can benefit all her family members. Moreover, i think learning a new skill is better than getting higher education. Its struggle for adult to getting back in school. For a instance, majority of immigrants are not proficient at English, however they still earn money more than Tammy since they have specific skill. For Tammy, she can communicate well and there is must be lots of job opportunities for her. For her oldest kid, we should encourage him to purse his dream in college because he can have granted the financial aids from government, this aid can help the family in many ways. http://prophetsandpopstars.com/wp- content/uploads/2013/12/Road-Sign- with-Hope-and-Sky.jpg

Response to Enriquez TED Talk: “What Will Humans Look Like in 100 Years?” For this question, we will focus on Juan Enriquez’ Life Two civilization, which alters fundamental aspects of the body. We are living longer thanever before in human history. Enriquez argues that, because of advances in bio-medicaltechnology, the possibility of living to 120 years of age and beyond is quite possible for many of us in this D+D class. Assuming that his assertion is accurate, how do you think extended life spans will change our societies and built environments? What new issues might designers face because of extended life spans? Nowadays, technology is very advance in some ways. And now some scientists believe that they can evolve cells to make human lifespan longer. I believe that one day our technology can really do so, because we can now cure some diseases which we cannot cure before. If we can extend our lifespan, which means there will be more populations in this world. However, we have limited spaces and resources. As a result, designers need to figure out to build more spaces for human to live. For example, landfill, build houses on the surface of the ocean or even in the sky. The new issue of the designers may face is how to design the living apartments higher to fit more population to live in. https://www.google.com/search?q=hope+pi cture&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source =lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjl9YH _6dTTAhVcImMKHSVsCjsQ_AUICigB&biw=1 197&bih=682#tbm=isch&q=future+people&i mgrc=E5jMcMbVLgA2PM:

To ensure social integration for the old people is to make the living become more convenient and enjoyable.

  • 26. Response to PPT, Smithsonian, and Roy The two most frequently mentionedmodels of disability are the ‘social’ and the ‘medical’ models. The medical model of disability views disability as a medical ‘problem’ that belongs to the disabled individual. The social model of disability, in contrast, draws on the idea that it is society that disables people, through designing everythingto meet the needs of the majority of people who are not disabled. There is a recognition withinthe social model that there is a great deal that society can do to reduce, and ultimately remove, some of these disabling barriers, and that this task is the responsibilityof society, ratherthan the disabled person. In the Smithsonian online exhibition, the storyabout the superhero hand, and Elise Roy’s TED Talk, you saw examples of ways to engage disability that use the social model rather thanthe medical model. In the Disability and Design PowerPoint, you were introduced to the concept of Universal Design (UD) (sometimes called inclusive design, design-for-all, or human- centered design). Certainly, UD embraces the social model of disability. In this same PowerPoint, you saw positive andnegative examples of each of the seven principles of universal design. For the Module 12 Thread 1, please select one of the seven universal design principles, and post photographs that show both a positive and a negative example of the principle. Then address the following question: How do your examples empower or disempower various people? Describe the specific features of the positive example and the specific features of the negative example. Discuss ways that the positive example could be even furtherimproved. I grew up and live in two different countries and cities, there are lots of differences between two cities and the Tolerance for errors is the differences of design principles i want to talk about today. In Newyork city, the subway platform does not have any safety protection doors which increases many death rates annually. In China, the subway platform has the safety equipment which is the safety doors. The positive things with the safety door is it can ensure all passengers safety, and this design can will not cause any traffic jam in the subway because the passenger is hard to get through the safety door to get down the tracks, without this design people can easily go down to the tracks. Moreover, its the good way to keep the railroad tracks clean. The negative things of this design without safety doors is very dangerous for everyone, specially the disabilities blind people. Even though having the safety doors is the good design for public, however, sometimes the door may be closed when people still walking inside the carriage so I think there should be a bottom nearby the safety door to let passengers to force open the door to ensure more safety. https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/courses /1/2171_14992_COMB/db/_369740 1_1/embedded/spoiler-alert- 20100824-093019.jpg https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/courses /1/2171_34992_COMB/db/_229740 1_1/embedded/spoiler-alert- 20100824-093019.jpg

Response to Survey, FIXED, and Stelarc Our 2017 Design-A-Baby survey yielded the followingcharacteristics as indicated by a majorityof you: Sex: Male (47%) Hair Color: Dark Brown (22%) Hair Texture: Wavy (33%) Eye Color: Blue (26%) Race: Caucasian (36%) Height: 5’- 10” to 6’-1” (45%) IQ: 131-140 (20%) Memory: Excellent (43%) Athletic Ability: Excellent (43%) Weight: Average (79%) Disease Carrier: None (85%) Beauty: Somewhat attractive (46%) Empathy: Very empathetic(38%) Creativity: Very creative (37%) Sounds like an all-aroundlovely person! Currently, we have the technology for youto choose many of the survey characteristics in yourfuture child, andthis ability to choose poses some ethical questions. Of course, we all want the best for our own child. However, as we move into a more collective situation, we need to consider how the consequences of majority choices for children might change who we are as a species. In the film trailer FIXED, you were introduced to the dilemma of living in a culture in which the “science-fiction of human enhancement” has become almost a way of life, from prenatal genetic screening to bionic bodyparts. In the video, “A Man with Three Ears” you are introducedto an artist who is using current technologyto move humans beyond their current abilities. Last week, Juan Enriquez asked us if it is ethical to evolve the human body. All videos suggest that the concept of disability ‘as we know it’ could cease to exist in the future. What lessons do you think we should learn from historywhen thinkingabout emergingenhancement technologies and reproductive technologies? What are some of the possible consequences (bothpositive and negative) of being able to design our bodies and the bodies of our children? What ethical quandaries do these technologies pose? There are lots of precious lessons we should learn from history when thinking about emerging enhancement technologies, However the most important things we should learn through all enhancement technologies is respect and considerate. For instances, the crosswalk bottom and the wheelchair paths. The usual crosswalk bottom is high and the disabilities people have real struggles to push the bottom. For the new inform crosswalk bottom is usually in proper height that wheelchair people can reach. Also in nowadays many public facilities have the wheelchair pathway which is very considerate for the disabilities people or for the new infants with baby carriage. Without question, there are lots of beneficial when we can do the gene engineering. At first, we can avoid lots of fatal diseases in human. Genetic engineering can also be used to help people by tackling diseases to ensure the younger generations can live long.There are lots of children’s born with incurable diseases in every second and everyone want to have a enjoy in happiness rather than taking care the sick children for whole life. Using genetic engineering this method is the best way to prevent these tragedies happened. Perhaps more obvious than the pros of genetic engineering, there are a number of disadvantages of doing the genetic engineering. Every family want to have intelligent and healthy children so they will decide the same features genes on the younger generation this will limit the diversity of society. Everyone own the same personalities, IQ and out looking. We want to have differences, the differences teach us how to respect and get well along with each other. I hope we can "selective gene engineering" which only allow portents to choose non-disease genes into the new generations. https://www.google.com/search?q=technology+baby+nam es&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&source=lnms&tbm=isch &sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiB3af_r9TTAhUISiYKHbnZAxIQ_AUICy gC&biw=1197&bih=681#tbm=isch&q=technology+gene+ba by&imgrc=FhpEY0rXr422IM:
  • 28. The state of Massachusetts tried to ban the 1967 documentary Titicut Follies, arguingthat director Frederick Wiseman had violated the patients’ rights by not getting written permission to film them. The case went to court, and Wiseman argued that he had consent from their legal guardian, the institution. After a judge ruled in favor of the state, the legal appeals carried on for several years: in 1969, Massachusetts allowed the film to be shown to doctors, lawyers, and health care professionals; in 1991, a superior court judge ruled it could be released for the “general public,” as privacy concerns were no longer at issue, so many years later. Should Wiseman have been allowed to film the residents of Bridgewater Massachusetts Correctional Facility? Why or why not? How might this film be of value to designers (communication designers, product, designers, architects, interiordesigners, planners, landscape designers, systems designers, and/or social designers)? In other words, what might they gain from this film that they could use in their work? I think Wiseman should shoot the residents of Bridgewater Massachusetts Correctional Facility,this film strongly illustrate all the honor back scenes of treating insane people. This exposure actions make public to think about the human rights of the insane people and respond to against the cruel treatments. The insane people already have mentally illness and their family members wouldn't pay for this bad services. This will be precious lessons for designers to improve the correctional facility. For the communication designer, they can figure out more best persuade ways for the patients like inviting more psychologist to make special treatments for each patient rather than directly pushing the medicine through patient's nose. Also, the cloth designers can design different color of clothes for the patients instead of wearing the blue and white stripes top that the patients can feel the correctional facility like a community or home. For landscape designers, they can design outdoor recreational activity place for the patients to maintain their mental healthy. https://www.google.com/search?q= human+rights&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS70 8US708&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa =X&ved=0ahUKEwjg0NLe_fTTAhWBS SYKHdHFCnoQ_AUICygC&biw=1339 &bih=678#imgrc=rhUoow7bpDUtW M:
  • 29. Prelude: Wolf Wolfensberger's seminal work "The Origin andNature of Our Institutional Models" posited that society characterizes people with intellectual disabilities as sub-human and burdens of charity, He argued that this dehumanization, and the segregated institutions that result from it, ignored the potentialproductive contributions that all people can make to society. He pushed for a shift in policy and practice that recognized the human needs of those with intellectual challenges and provided the same basic human rights as for the rest of the population. The Scenario: Imagine that you and your four childrenlive in Amherst, New York in a $650,000 home at the end of a cul-de-sac on the edge of a ten acre woods. The town has purchased a one acre lot three houses away from yours, and plans to build a grouphome for ten intellectually challenged adults. As a resident of the neighborhood, wouldyou support or oppose this proposal and why? You've learned additionalinformation about the residents of the proposed group home in your neighborhood. In 2013, three of the ten intended residents exhibitedchallenging behaviors includingscreaming, public masturbation, repetitive rocking, and echolalia (elective incontinence). However, these behaviors have not occurredsince then. What are some possible solutions that would allow the residents of the home to be provided with “the same basic human rights as the rest of the population”? As a resident of the neighborhood, I will strongly oppose the building home group for ten intellectually challenged adults near my home. At first, we can't ensure our safety of our kids. Even though that 10 adults don't have the bad behaviors occur since 2013 but there are lots of potential problems. Specially the public masturbation behavior will harm the development of my kids if that adult do that again. Also the establishing the home group near that area will devalue my house and no one want to invest the houses next to me. The new information still strength my mind to oppose the proposal of building the group home near my home, I have to protect my family safety first. For better solution, I think the home group can be settle down near the urban area that they can interact with other people and there are more polices and assistants in the public areas. https://www.google.com/sea rch?q=autism&rlz=1C5CHFA_ enUS708US708&source=lnms &tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahU KEwikwOebhPXTAhWM5SYK HfjCDsIQ_AUICygC&biw=1339 &bih=678#tbm=isch&q=autis m+therapy&imgrc=Kfz23Eu3 wb9UKM:
  • 30. In his article, David Engwicht discusses the fact that religions (of all types) have played major roles in the development of ourcities. Today, places of worship are primary components of almost all urban centers. Author Lorne Daniel writes “From their oftenactive role in supporting people wholive in city centers to their iconic influence on design and use of space, religious structures tell us a lot about our history, our current needs, and where we might be headed in the future. This is an aspect of our urban future that planners and urbanists should attend to.” Identify a place of worship with which you are somewhat familiar. (If you are not familiar with any places of worship, do a bit of research on one in your own city or town.) Show a photographof this religious structure. (You may use photographs from the web.) What roles has this place served in the development of your city/town? How has it influenced the design of the area around it? How has its role changed over time? What roles could this place of worship play in the future development of your city/town? I am going to discuss the Sacred Hearth Cathedral in my hometown, the city i used to grow up which is Guangzhou,China. In china you are seldom see any church in the urban area of the city because of religious different. The site of the cathedral was originally the residence of Guangzhou in Qing dynasty, this cathedral actually was the promised compensation for destroyed properties in the Second Opium War. Also this cathedral has its own meaning stand for “peace be sincerely kept forever." After this site was established, it provides the convenience for foreign to pray and that’s boost up the international trading around that area. Moreover, this place also attracts the attentions from many visitors to come by every year. Expect the economy part, the most important thing is the Cathedral also influenced the architecture styles of surrounding buildings. In picture 2, the style of the housing keeps as western. https://ublearns.buffalo.edu/cours es/1/2171_14992_COMB/db/_371 6704_1/embedded/%E6%92%92% E5%8F%91%E7%94%9F%E7%9A%8 4%E5%86%AF%E7%BB%8D%E5%B3 %B0.jpg file:///Users/crystalliu/Desktop/10 828429.jpg
  • 31. Consider the quote in your syllabus from educator Michael J. Shannon: “Design, as vision in action--the intersection of understanding and creation--is a universal human capability that can play a fundamental role in social evolution, in the process that transforms resources, energy, and information to make our world.” At the beginning of this course, we discussed the idea that we are all designers regardless of our profession or field of study. We’ve asked some big questions along the way, and the conclusion section of our textbook raises additional issues that require input from people who might not consider themselves to be part of the formalized design professions. Think about your own major and/or future profession. What is the biggest challenge, problem, or question that your field needs to tackle right now? What do you plan to do to address this challenge, problem, or question either as part of your studies or professional life? I am in Medical Technology major now, and I think the struggle of nowadays medical field facing is about how the medicines can ensure the safety and have no side effects on human body. Technology, drugs and medicines and heal lots of disease. However, the medicine has lots of side effects along with it. People may be losing hair and gaining weight. So for my major is researching the efficient medicines on human people. . https://www.google.com/search?q=med icine&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS708US708&sou rce=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKE wj0oK3nh_XTAhXFchQKHTqHAlEQ_AUIC ygC&biw=1339&bih=678#tbm=isch&q=+ medicine+technologist&imgrc=ChY64idg wejXfM:
