Our project is themed around the “Zhongqi” (major solar terms) within the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. Inspired by Yuan Zhen’s *Poems on the Twenty-Four Solar Terms*, we created this series based on our own perceptions and emotions toward the changing seasons.
By using the attractive and expressive nature of jewelry, we hope to encourage people to actively explore the stories and cultural meanings behind the solar terms. Through these wearable and collectible pieces, the solar terms are no longer just written words, but become tangible works that can be appreciated, preserved, and worn in everyday life.
Window Period（Bird-window collision）
Department of Commercial Design, National Taichung University of Science and Technology
Bird-window collisions, driven by glass transparency and reflection, are a leading cause of avian mortality. Because these incidents often go unnoticed, they create a cognitive blind spot we define as the "Window Period." To address this, our design integrates a three-step process: Attract, Understand, and Solve. Through window-sticker posters, the project draws attention, while a comprehensive prevention manual deepens public awareness.
The manual is structured into Causes, Impacts, and Solutions. By incorporating transparent sheets and mirror paper, it physically recreates window phenomena for intuitive learning. Complex ecological data is translated into accessible infographics, lowering the learning curve and serving as a powerful communication tool.
For practical prevention, the packaging doubles as an installation tool. When unfolded, it attaches to window surfaces, using perforations based on the 5x5 cm anti-collision guideline to guide users in applying the stamps accurately. This design eliminates installation barriers, extends the packaging's lifecycle, and transforms passive awareness into sustainable conservation action.
