Development of Designs to Realize A Website of Re-used Materials

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Today, with the advent of the era of the user-customized web, characterized by participation, sharing and openness on the web, real-time Internet access using mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs as well as PCs has become commonplace, and it is being systematized so that desired information can be easily found. In other words, this study was conducted in a time when it is possible to rapidly respond to spatial individuation and diversification, and trends in the face of a high-speed information society where everything is connected, and it becomes the center of a more intelligent society. This design study on the provision of re-used materials information on the web has significance in promoting the use of re-used materials by designing a website optimized for materials from the point of view of unspecified individuals in need of re-used materials to select desired materials. (Method) This study proceeds as follows. First, the concept of re-used materials is reviewed and research trends related to design web are examined. In addition, the direction for systematizing the database for web design is explored by searching the websites of domestic and foreign companies handling re-used materials, examining the current status, and comparatively analyzing them. Second, the stages of the reuse website largely proceeded in the order of material selection, design and process, and design results. Third, it derived the reuse website through contents in a flexible way that can be applied to reality. (Results) The contents of the design development were as follows. First, in the material selection stage, supplier information and a design gallery can be searched starting from the main window. In the design gallery, spaces and products completed using re-used materials are searched, which has the effect of increasing applicability during design. Second, in the design and process stage, each material that needs to be supplied are arranged as Search materials, Locate materials, Select materials, Details in materials, Q&A and Order and delivery. It will be supplemented through future demonstrations. Third, in the design results stage, it aims to increase and spread the applicability of materials by sharing the image of the space after construction. (Conclusions) In the process for web implementation in the future, this study intended to build and realize a material information website that integrates the sharing function on SNS platforms by utilizing geolocation and map API through the processes of system specification configuration, database design, website implementation, testing, and distribution after collecting and analyzing the requirements for the web design of this study to be supplemented and developed.
