In the contemporary, all social shifts as well as the fields of design have been changed much faster than past. And continually it will be changed in the future. In this situation, futuristic design will be much more important paradigm than now. Emotion and digital can be key issues in the futuristic design paradigms. Karim Rashid is one of most famous futuristic designers, and all his works are expressed emotion and digital. Also he uses various factors to express futurism such as curved line, futuristic colors, special materials, and so on. In the future, we will live in the emotion and digital culture age. According to social shifts, our life should be change with Futurism. Therefore his role will be more important, and he has to consider relationship between men and their surroundings as he designs all his work's range, specially housing design.

Elevated water tanks are considered as important structures due to its post-earthquake requirements. Elevated water tank on reinforced concrete frame staging is widely used in India. Different response reduction factors depending on ductility of frame members are used in seismic design of frame staging. The study on appropriateness of response reduction factor for reinforced concrete tank staging is sparse in literature. In the present paper a systematic study on estimation of key components of response reduction factors is presented. By considering the various combinations of tank capacity, height of staging, seismic design level and design response reduction factors, forty-eight analytical models are developed and designed using relevant Indian codes. The minimum specified design cross section of column as per Indian code is found to be sufficient to accommodate the design steel. The strength factor and ductility factor are estimated using results of nonlinear static pushover analysis. It was observed that for seismic design category 'high' the strength factor has lesser contribution than ductility factor, whereas, opposite trend is observed for seismic design category 'low'. Further, the effects of staging height and tank capacity on strength and ductility factors for two different seismic design categories are studied. For both seismic design categories, the response reduction factors obtained from the nonlinear static analysis is higher than the code specified response reduction factors. The minimum dimension restriction of column is observed as key parameter in achieving the desired performance of the elevated water tank on frame staging.

This study deals with the consciousness and visual preference and image about the fence that is an important factor and a vertical element in the streetscape. The analysis was performed by the data obtained from the questionnaires and the photos for the fence scene. 1. The answerers considering the fence had great influence on the beauty of a city were over 80%, also the fence influence good effect on a city was higher than 63%. 2. The answerers prefering the fence materials mixed with inanimate materials and plants was higher than 50%. Also the design offence was regarded to be the most important element when established. 3. While the satisfying factors for the visual preference were peculiarity, abundance and harmony, the dissatisfying factors were commonplaceness, disharmony and isolation(closing). Also the preference factors were the design and material in several elements of the fence. 4. At the part of function, the preferable places were estimated highly as boundary mark, eye interception but in the visual effect were so low. 5. Psychological factor, related to the satisfaction of the fence, had a grip of three factors, evaluation, formation, potentiality, and the presumption formula was: Satisfaction=1.61(Evaluation)+0.30(Formation)+0.55(Potentiality)+6.23(R2=0. 63)

Tower footing resistance and fault current division factor are important design factors for evaluation of the lightning performance of the transmission line and/or design of the grounding electrode system. The periodic measurement of those factors are also important to verify that the grounding performance of the towers has been maintained good. However, the direct measurement of those factors in operating or energized condition is very difficult because of many practical reasons, such as the difficulty of disconnecting overhead groundwires from the tower under test. With supports by GECOL (General Electricitiy Company of Libya), we had a special chance to conduct Fall-Of-Potential (FOP) test on the energized 220 kV transmission towers before and after disconnecting the overhead groundwires from the towers under test. In this paper, the FOP test results on the towers and the fault current division factors estimated from the comparision of the FOP tests with and without overhead groundwires were presented. The computer models for the FOP test simulations were also constructed to find that the simulated results agreed very well with the measured ones.

Customer's trust is one of major competitiveness sources along with price in Internet Web-based B2C e-commerce business. In general, trust is defined as the attitude that is established by a trustor when trustworthiness exists in a trustee and is perceived by a trustor. Designing e-commerce websites is important in that e-commerce website is understood as a means of constructing perceived trustworthiness and delivering it to customers. In this study 50 participants were interviewed and total of 831 participants responded to the survey questionnaire to investigate design factors influencing the perceived trustworthiness in e-commerce websites. Nine design factors were derived as the perceived trustworthiness-related design factors, and only six out of nine design factors were found as having significant effects on the perceived trustworthiness of e-commerce websites. In addition, the significant design factors were different according to gender and ages of e-commerce customers.

After the Gyeong-ju 9.12 earthquake, we found the necessity of seismic design of nonstructural element is important to reduce damages in view of properties and economic losses. This study focused on the investigation of damages including both properties and human beings. It was found that most of the damages are leaking of water pipe line, rupture of glasses, spalling of roof finishing, cracks of building, and falling from roof. It was also found that the seismic design force of nonstructural elements is taking account into the natural periods, amplification factors, response modification factors to forsee inelastic behaviors. From this studies, it is recommended that more studies are necessary on the seismic design force of nonstructural element.

The fault of an automobile transmission gear occurs whenever moving tooth surfaces interact. Such a failure condition has an effect on the frictional factors such as applied load, sliding speed, frictional time and gear oil. However, it is difficult to know the mutual relation of these factors. In this study, the friction and wear tests were carried out to get the friction characteristics with carburized SCM420 and nitrocarburized NT100 have being used as automobile transmission gear materials. And it was undertaken to analyze the frictional factors that have effect on frictional characteristics by using design of experiment. From this study, the result showed that the applied load in frictional factors was the most important, next to frictional time, sliding speed. And the friction characteristics of nitrocarburized NT100 was more excellent than carburized SCM420.
