2013 International Design Workshop III: Name The Tree / Dai Fujiwara + SCU
藤原大本次從「為樹木命名」的過程為出發點，讓同學以多元角度思考樹木本體的各種面貌，其中又以「色彩」作為最大的公約數，進行一個動態的計畫或實驗。學生在過程中紀錄樹木的各種時間下光影、形狀與色彩的變化，連結人、環境與樹的關係，並試圖發掘「樹」的感情、心裡、聲音、故事、訊息、符號等等。工作營產出作品形式將以手繪、攝影、採集標本、文字、聲音等方式呈現，展覽形式則包含裝置投影（亮/暗）、平面/版面、立體模型等，呈現一種理性與感性交織而成的設計創作敘事空間，以及設計學院「跨領域國際設計工作營」的密集課程的完整訓練與紀錄。
The workshop theme is, “NAME THE TREE.” This project focuses on the trees that grow in towns where people live. Though we may not take much notice, when spring comes, leaves start sprouting on trees and we have trees to thank for letting us know that a new season has arrived through this shower of new colors. The purpose of this project is to create new value with the people of the world including myself, by heightening our awareness of these often overlooked trees and applying roles to natural objects around us. Furthermore, just as the world is diverse because there are no two geographical locations that are exactly alike, we can always discover the characteristics and identity of that land by gathering information and getting to know the trees that we often take for granted. Students will research a single “tree” in their town, learn about the history and background of that tree and name the tree. The assignment is to produce contents that will trigger the interest of the global audience regarding that tree, make them want to visit that tree and ultimately inspire them.
THE PROJECT: Name the Tree
1) Find the tree you like in your town or neighborhood located on the side of the street, walk-way and in the park.
2) Choose one tree and give a name as you wish. You will also select some wonderful image to represent this named tree. Now this particular tree becomes your friend.
3) Please introduce this tree with name and image to the World. Trees do not speak or send message by computer, but they always welcome and accept you if you wish to be with him.
Tree helps our lives and surroundings just being there contributing with their power of silence. It is a great nature property being next to you just like your own house.
Please make up your original text to introduce the tree as your friend to make people in the world wish to come and meet him.
To make the creative message for your tree is the mission to be given in this workshop.
