One more day at home

Today I got a day-off from work and stay at home. So, I have time to write the latest news and discoveries.

I got cold and couldn't rest for 3 days because of my ASP thesis. Yesterday, we finally finished it! I went to the copy center to print it! I was totally satisfied when I was assigning the work... Now, it just remains the presentation. I can not still believe that we finished the project, we have a hotel on the moon! I wanna thank to all Space Hotel Design Group, especially to team B. We are legendary!

More efficient moments, less fb, more research:)

These day, I started using internet more efficiently, less facebook, more research:)) I was cheking IF Design Award. I found some simple but interesting design concept and wanted to share.

Designers: You Zen Chen, You-Ren Chen, Liu Rong-cheng, Chun-Chia Hsu

Idea: The “Colors key” uses a color-matching way allowing users to quickly find out the correct key for opening the door. The color-matching way on “Colors key” means the same color on the head of key and the keyhole of door. The sticker for the keyhole can be pushed out from the head of key and be stuck on the keyhole. When the color of key matches the color of keyhole, the door can be opened easily. The needed key can be found from a pile of keys by obviously visual color changes.


Designers: Lin, Yang-An / Liao, Ching-Chan

Idea: Most of people have the experiences of using the shower apparatus when they need to supply water or wash something.And they have also have the problems of being splashed all over by water when they forget to switch the shower nozzle over to the hydrant. The objective of this plan is to design the shower apparatus to combine the new style of faucet with its operation. Turn down to the location when you want to use the hydrant; Turn up and connect the drainpipe of the shower nozzle when you want to take a shower. The motivation of this design is to guide the users by changing their vision and operating Materials - Metal & Rubber


Designers: Seung Hee Son, Yong hee Cho

Idea: On a rainy day, when someone goes inside with a wet umbrella, the floor gets dirty and the water drops annoy others. Thus, people usually use a disposable vinyl; however, it gets wasted too much and gives negative effects on our environment. By turning over one portion of the umbrella inside out, the dry cloth appears and wraps the wet umbrella. Therefore, it helps solving the problem of the current umbrella and as it transforms as a bag, it becomes easy to carry. Not only it is portable but also it can be a very fashionable item because the inner layer, the dry cloth can be decorated with various colors and patterns.

Designers: Simone Jochim

Idea: 2Sense Protections’ idea was to create a combination to protect both the eyes and the ears. In many working situations people at the same time have contact with noise and mechanical pollution, before 2Sense it was necessary to use two different protections. The draft idea was to design ear protectors for multiple usage - it unites ear and eye protection in one product. To achieve this aim the view pane was made from polycarbonate. This can not only be used as a view pane but also as a head bow.

No, I didn't dream! An ant in my ear:)

Yesterday night, I went to bed a little bit late with thousand of idea on my mind. At the beginning, I had some difficulties sleeping. Nearly after 20 minutes, exactly at the threshold of my sleep, I suddenly felt strange motions inside my right ear! It was like in horror fims, when the victim is attacted by evils, feels some mutuation in his body. I stood up, run to the bathroom to clean it with a stick, nothing... But I was sure it was happening something in my ear! Perhaps It was the beginning of a new era in mylife! Perhaps my brain was getting bigger or I would be deaf in the next future! With these thoughts, I sticked again my finger in and found out an ant! Yes, an ant in my ear! I checked my bed and around. I couldn't find any ant around. Who know how come the ant entered to my ear in the middle of the night? Being happy or not?! It was not a new era, just a little ant:)

Love is...

Love is... if your heart wants to change places with your stomach:)

Sunday exchange

A sunny sunday, I took my new bike and some cloths that I was not wearing for a long time! Riding through the supermarket, there is a yellow container that I always passing by on which is written Cambio Stagione. I think it is service of Municipality of Milan to let people share their stuffs with others. The moment that I came up to the container, there was an other lady who was trying to put her stuff inside the container. A man came closer and asked her if she has something for him. The woman answered that there were only woman cloths. And then came my turn. But the woman didn't leave and asked me if I have something for her. Me, who was trying to get of my classic white shirts, showed her what I had in my bag! A smile appeared in her face and took all the stuff! I really got excited about this exchange. Perhaps I could have thrown my cloths inside the container but instead I had a direct contact with the second user, or second user's mother thanks to this yellow container! How many people can have this chance to see their stuff's next user in a sunny sunday?! Fortunately I had:)

1st Aperitivo 606

This friday, I had my own happy hour at my new home! I had recently lots of new beginnings: a new single room, a new bike and 2 new cute roommates... And last tuesday a generous guy gave me 6 new "hand made" glass of wine as a present so I decided to have my own aperitivo at my place:) When my mom learned that I will have a little party at home, she asked me if I had asked permission to my new roommates. The answer was: I also invited them:)) No really, they are really great! When they have asked me how many people would come, i just said that i wanted to see how many people could fit into our new little home. And they enjoy the answer. Now, we know the number: 30! It was really a great time! I want to thanks here to everyone who has joined to my first aperitivo! Cheers to new beginnings...

some great quotes from Frank Gehry

[One lady was all over me at one of these meeting saying: "You can't do this, and you can't do that" I said to her: "If you really think I am here to take you out of your banal office, which is poorly lit, poorly furnished, has poor acoustics and poor natural light... If you think I am here to take you out of that in order to put you into something that really works, with user-friendly furniture, nice light, a better relationship to your staff and your colleagues... If you think I am here to do that, you are crazy. I wouldn't do that to you. Finally, she laughed. ] Frank Gehry

[If I have a big envy in my life, it's about painters. I wish I was a painter. What I'm fascinated with is the moment of truth. There's the canvas, it's on your aesel, you got your bruch, and you got this goddamn palette of colors, and what do you do? What's the first move? I love that dangerous place!] Frank Gehry

a Sunday crawling on all 4s

So what is happening in my life in these days? I profit my last free days to work a little bit: so I started babysitting... and now I have 3 children:) Their names are Davide, Cecilia and Ariel and they are GREAT!

Today is one of the awesome days: a sunny sunday with a relatively calm Ariel:)) Me and Ariel, we went to Triennale Cadorna to see the new exhibition of Bruno Munari: "Vietato Non Toccare"! At 16 p.m., at least 40 children between 2 and 6 years old were waiting to see the exhibition. Just entered, they divided us in groups so we were the BLUE with our BLUE sticker on our chest:)

It is the first time that MUBA -Museo dei Bambini di Milano-is addressing primarily to the kindergarten kids, aware of the importance of a cultural offer of high quality for the age group of 2-6 years.

For this, in conjunction with ABM (Association of Bruno Munari) and Edizioni Corraini, MUBA has selected in large production of Munari, subjects closest to the sensitivity, the curiosity and needs of children, creating a game set to the path of discovery , wonder, visual and tactile experience, experimentation and action... So we enjoyed Bruno Munari's genius games with Ariel... The funny part is that even the adults had to crawl on all fours during the track so we do:)

Milano Metro Stories I: 4 stops music...

One of the things that I really love is street musicians that offer their creativity at an unexpected moment... they are able to change my mood in every condition. Especially the ones in subway, when my mind is plenty of thoughts, plans and concern, the one who enter suddenly from the door is enough to liberate me from these pointless thoughts. The good part is that you can never know in which station they can appear and illuminate your thoughts! And when they come, I totally stop everything, appreciate fews moments they offer to me and I try to pay them something symbolic for their performance.

In Milan, metro musicians have generally the same tactic: they play for 1 1/2 stops and collect money before arriving to the 2nd stop. However today, it happened something strange: I arrived to Lambrate station and I sat down between 2 musicians while I was waiting the metro. One of them started speaking with me. He was a nice Romanian musician from Bucharest who studied music & theater during university. When he discovered that I am Turkish, he promised me to play a Turkish song in metro:) So, the metro came, people entered and the musician started playing as usual, strangely he played during 2 stops and start collecting money after the 2nd stations and then after he sat down in front of me and played the Turkish melody till Centrale... He played because perhaps he liked me, perhaps I was the only one who payed to him... whatever the reason, this sunday offered me a spontaneous gift... a concert for 4 stops!

push the button

I have a strange feeling tonight... my life seems to me surreal, with all my relationships of long distance... my loved ones are thousands of miles away but I still talk to them as they are always with me. In fact they are not with me, they have their own life but anyway were connected to each other just with one button. push the button and penetrate to their life! Is it normal?
