Some painters who suffer from migraine express their migraine experience and visual discomfort through their paintings, which we refer to as migraine art. Several famous painters (e.g., Picasso) also have been reported to suffer from migraine; therefore, we refer to their paintings as “possible-migraine art.” Although paintings with excessive energy at mid-spatial frequencies are uncomfortable to view, it remains unknown whether migraine art and possible-migraine art contain spatial characteristics that contribute to visual discomfort. We performed a spatial-frequency analysis on migraine art, possible-migraine art, and non-migraine art images. The results revealed that migraine art contains more energy at mid-spatial frequencies than non-migraine art. Possible-migraine art also contains this spectral characteristic. We propose that painters who suffer from migraine may utilize rather than avoid spatial characteristics that contribute to visual discomfort.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"2004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128292964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through studying Vitruvius’ The Ten Books on Architecture, Alberti’s The Ten Books of Architecture and Palladio’s The Four Books on Architecture, this research analyses and discusses aesthetic standards in Western architectural culture as an introductory study of Western traditional aesthetics. This research draws the following conclusions on aesthetic views represented in these architectural books: (1) Aesthetic implications came to be gradually obscured; (2) Aesthetic form became more sophisticated step by step; (3) Development of the formal principles of Western aesthetics may be traced back to the Pythagorean theory of numbers.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115601345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two distinct methods were used by the designers in developing ideas based on the process they used to transform their ideas. Based on considering the keyword-based information retrieving behavior, a “thinkingseeing-moving” structure was proposed in the study to describe designers’ ideation pattern in the digital environment.

The results are as follows: 1) Temple creators primarily selected Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the story theme. 2) Temple creators selected chapters from Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Apotheosis of Heroes and predominantly adopted the midpoint in Act II that resembling the three-act structure in Western tradition. 3) The background of the main patron deity and the story theme selection for a temple were correlated.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"46 s161","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132226867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-six undergraduate students were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group which adopted acting evaluation and the control group. Both groups read prototypes of the manual, planned a class and answered questionnaires. As a result, 2 groups seemed to do the task similarly. However, the differences between 2 groups were seen in the required time for the task and its understanding. Acting evaluation could be a simple instruction method to make the participants concentrate on their task and be suitable for preliminary research.

Abstract: Theme restaurant atmosphere shaped by servicescape can enhance consumers' perceived quality, create a unique experience identification, and produce market segmentation and differentiation. However, a majority of theme restaurant owners currently continue to believe that a necessary dependent relationship exists between dazzling spatial decorations and improvements of business objectives. Although they have invested numerous funds for restructuring and redecorating, some owners can achieve goals of accruing profits whereas others are unable to survive. The reasons behind these varying outcomes must be investigated in a systematic manner. Furthermore, previous studies have viewed the relationship between servicescape and consumers' perceived quality as a linear one, and have seldom made efforts to distinguish the characteristic variations between attributes. This study employed the Kano model to examine the different perceived quality evaluations of consumers regarding the attributes of theme restaurant servicescape. The concrete results can effectively provide importance rankings for trade-offs. When encountering competitive situations and limited resources, more important attributes or characteristics can be implemented more rapidly to enhance consumers' perceived quality.
