Full textAbstract:
BEHIND THE FIRE LINEA thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University, 2004. Major Director: Jim Long, Department Chair. Behind the Line of Fire is a documentary of the professional lives of a group of firefighters. Inspired by the events of September 11th, it has been an ongoing journey for me as I continue to interact with an photograph these individuals doing the job that they live for. My goal for this project has been to work within the guidelines of a documentary, a genre that has a rich, diverse, and defined history. I did not want to show scenes in which firefighters were depicted in typically iconographic scenarios. I have not made any images to date representing exploding structures with firefighters risking life and limb fighting the fire, nor have I shown the firefighters performing heroic acts such as rescuing a child or an animal. I believe the imagery I have created presents firefighters in a different light. These are men and women working. There are no hidden meanings or agendas involved. The photos are to be taken at face value as images of people whose lives revolve around what they do.

Vezzosi, Riccardo. "State of the art and critical review of pre-chamber ignition systems for passenger car spark ignition engines." Master's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2021. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/22702/.
Full textAbstract:
Pre-chamber ignition systems are currently one of the most
attractive developments for SI engines. The objective of this thesis is to present the technology at it's current state, focusing on passenger vehicles application, to analyse what issues need to be addressed for it to widely come to the market and what the potential of this techology is for the SI engine future.
Replacing the spark plug with a new system capable of igniting a much leaner mixture, to reduce the likelyhood of knock, was the initial goal of the pre-chamber ignition system. What the system achieves is also a much faster combustion speed, which can deliver greater effciency, power, and reduce knock occurrence even with stoichiometric AFR.
The implementation of the system presents signifcant challenges, which led many researchers to propose and patent a multitude of solutions which spawned from the original idea. Although for long time the diffculties with respect to a common spark plug ignition system have far outweighted the pros of the pre-chamber ignition, with time and the advancements in electronic controls, injectors and other systems, the research on this system gains a renewed interest.

Full textAbstract:
American composer Jake Heggie wrote Camille Claudel: Into the Fire in 2012 for the Alexander String Quartet and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. As Heggie is known for his operas Dead Man Walking, Moby-Dick, and most recently, Great Scott, it is not surprising that his seven-song cycle about this passionate female French sculptor is of operatic dramaturgical and musical quality. Due to the complexities and bias that surround Claudel’s life story, and the relative novelty of Heggie’s music within the art song genre, there is a lack of literature regarding the presentation of an authentic performance of this cycle. This project report concentrates on providing the singer with an interpretive framework based on how Heggie’s musical influences and tendencies, along with Gene Scheer’s historical, first person narrative, reflect Claudel’s life, work, and fiery personality. Through a deeper understanding of Heggie’s music in correspondence with Scheer’s poetry, a singer can effectively embody the unparalleled passion, artistry, and voice of Camille Claudel.

Rodriguez, Abigail E. "Playing With Fire: An Examination of the Context and Conservation of Jose Clemente Orozco's Prometheus." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2016. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/860.
Full textAbstract:
Tucked within Pomona College’s campus in Claremont, California, sits Frary Hall, the home of Mexican muralist Jose Clemente Orozco’s first work in the United States. The mural, titled Prometheus (1930), has been subjected to many instances of vandalism over the years. Thus, in 1980, a protective coating was applied. Today, the coating, a highly-reflective varnish, has been noted as a hindrance of the fresco’s original matte surface. Using case studies and art historical analysis, this thesis examines the importance of the mural within the history of Mexican muralism and the pros and cons of removing the protective coating. In addition, this research looks at the potential of art conservation as a means of reactivating the mural and promoting discussions across campus about the preservation of this cultural landmark. The thesis is culminated by a detailed proposal for the continued conservation of the mural, using Prometheus as a starting point for further discussions about aesthetics and ethics within the discourses of art history, art conservation and art restoration.

Full textAbstract:
Metastable b-Ti alloys are titanium alloys with sufficient b stabilizer alloying additions such that it's possible to retain single b phase at room temperature. These alloys are of great advantage compared to a/b alloys since they are easily cold rolled, strip produced and can attain excellent mechanical properties upon age hardening. Beta 21S, a relatively new b titanium alloy in addition to these general advantages is known to possess excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. A homogeneous distribution of fine sized a precipitates in the parent b matrix is known to provide good combination of strength, ductility and fracture toughness. The current work focuses on a study of different mechanisms to engineer homogeneously distributed fine sized a precipitates in the b matrix. The precipitation of metastable phases upon low temperature aging and their influence on a precipitation is studied in detail. The precipitation sequence on direct aging above the w solvus temperature is also assessed. The structural and compositional evolution of precipitate phase is determined using multiple characterization tools. The possibility of occurrence of other non-classical precipitation mechanisms that do not require heterogeneous nucleation sites are also analyzed. Lastly, the influence of interstitial element, oxygen on a precipitation during the oxidation of Beta 21S has been determined. The ingress of oxygen and its influence on microstructure have also been correlated to measured mechanical properties.

Full textAbstract:
La thèse traite de la problématique du feu comme instrument de la création plastique contemporaine. En effet, depuis les années 1960, on observe une utilisation accrue de l’élément feu dans de nouvelles formes d’expression artistique. L’accent est mis particulièrement sur le feu de la guerre qui, en transformant la vie des artistes, fait également évoluer leur création. Tout au long de la thèse, l’analyse des oeuvres personnelles vient appuyer ce constat et sont explorées sur la base de l’expérience de la guerre vécue par l’auteur. Les parties de la thèse font référence à des figures mythiques en relation avec l’image du feu. Ainsi, se classent-elles « Sous le signe de Prométhée », « Sous le signe du Phénix » et « Sous le signe d’Empédocle »This Ph.D. dissertation deals with the problem of fire used as a tool in the contemporary plastic art creations. In fact, since the 1960s, an increased use of fire is noted within new forms of artistic expression.The emphasis is put particularly on the “fire of war” which, by changing the lives ofthe artists, transforms their creations as well .Throughout the dissertation, the analysis of personal pieces of art, observed through the context of the war experienced by the artist, confirms the above finding. The sections of the dissertation refer to some mythical characters with close relationship with the image of fire. Hence, they are referenced “Under the sign of Prometheus”,“Under the sign of the Phoenix” and “Under the sign of Empedocles”

Full textAbstract:
By the mid-1970s, Earth, Wind & Fire (EWF) became one of the most commercially successful pop music bands in the world. Their dynamic sound thrilled listeners and their elaborate concerts captivated audiences. EWF stood out from other artists with their philosophical messages and their use of ancient Egyptian symbols and imagery in their visual art. The ancient Egyptian themes intrigued fans but drew criticism from others. This study examines the ancient Egyptian themes incorporated into the lyrics of the songs recorded by the band. This study also examines the ancient Egyptian symbols used in the EWF’s visual art, including album covers, music videos, and concerts.
A content analysis was conducted to study the lyrics and identify themes related to ancient Egyptian spirituality. A content analysis was also used to study the visual art and decipher what the symbols may signify. This research was based on the premise that Earth, Wind & Fire used their artistry to be a positive influence. When the lyrics and visual art were examined, the researcher found that they both contain themes of ancient wisdom and universal truths. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that EWF’s mission was to raise the consciousness of the world, and the way people responded is an indication that the mission was accomplished. The findings also suggest that the negative criticism EWF has received is unjustifiable.

Full textAbstract:
Jean-Paul Marcheschi (né en 1951) attire l’attention du public et des institutionnels par la rencontre de l’écriture et du feu dans son œuvre. Ce peintre-sculpteur français utilise les torches de feu en guise de pinceau ; les bougies de son outil forment de la suie, de la cire et créent des brûlures sur du papier recouvert d’écritures manuscrites. Depuis bientôt trente ans, cette technique lui permet de réaliser des œuvres figuratives et abstraites. Sa renommée a acquis une dimension européenne dès les années quatre-vingt-dix. L’objectif de cette thèse est de montrer comment l’écriture et le feu sont employés dans son art. Cette étude permet d’aborder notamment la question de la dissociabilité et/ou du caractère indissociable entre ces éléments. Même si ces deux moyens d’expression se rencontrent dans ses peintures, et même si leur combinaison se lit dans certaines de nos analyses picturales, ils sont traités toutefois séparément, car l’écriture est apparue dans ses œuvres avant le feu, et les premières expériences ignées n’ont pas demandé l’intervention d’écrits. Par ailleurs, la rencontre entre ces éléments ne concerne pas en majorité ses objets et ses sculptures. Cette thèse est d’ailleurs composée de deux parties : la première est consacrée à l’écriture et la deuxième est consacrée au feu dans sa productionJean-Paul Marcheschi (born in 1951) draws the attention of the public and the institutional by the meeting of the writing and the fire in his works. This French painter-sculptor uses the torches of fire by way of brush ; the candles of his tool form some soot, some wax and create burns on some paper covered with handwritten writings. For about thirty years, this technique allows him to realize figurative and abstract works. His fame acquired a European dimension from the years ninety. The objective of this thesis is to show how his art uses writing and fire. This study allows to approach in particular the question of the separable character andor the inseparable character between these elements. Even if these two means of expression meet in his paintings, and even if their combination is read in some of our pictorial analyses, they are however treated separately, because the writing appeared in his works before the fire, and the first experiments with the fire did not ask for the intervention of writings. Besides, the meeting between these elements does not concern for the greater part his objects and his sculptures. This thesis moreover consists of two parts : the first one is dedicated to the writing and the second is dedicated to the fire in his production

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Tech. (Design and Studio Art)) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2014The Information Age has presented those in the discipline of photography with very many advantages. Digital photographers enjoy all the perquisites of convenience while still producing high-quality images. Lecturers find themselves the authorities of increasingly archaic knowledge in a perpetual race to keep up with technology. When inspiration becomes imitation and visual plagiarism occurs, lecturers may find themselves at a loss for taking action as content-based image retrieval systems, like Google™ Search by Image (SBI), have not yet been systematically tested for the detection of visual plagiarism. Currently there exists no efficacious method available to photography lecturers in higher education for detecting visual plagiarism. As such, the aim of this study is to ascertain the most effective uploading methods and precision of the Google™ SBI system which lecturers can use to establish a systematic workflow that will combat visual plagiarism in photography programmes. Images were selected from the Google™ Images database by means of random sampling and uploaded to Google™ SBI to determine if the system can match the images to their Internet source. Each of the images received a black and white conversion, a contrast adjustment and a hue shift to ascertain whether the system can also match altered images. Composite images were compiled to establish whether the system can detect images from the salient feature. Results were recorded and the precision values calculated to determine the system’s success rate and accuracy. The results were favourable and 93.25% of the adjusted images retrieved results with a precision value of 0.96. The composite images had a success rate of 80% when uploaded intact with no dissections and a perfect precision value of 1.00. Google™ SBI can successfully be used by the photography lecturer as a functional visual plagiarism detection system to match images unethically appropriated by students from the Internet.

Dyer, Rebekah Mary. "Multivalence, liminality, and the theological imagination : contextualising the image of fire for contemporary Christian practice." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/16452.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis contends that the image of fire is a multivalent and theologically valuable image for application in British Christian communities. My research offers an original contribution by contextualising the image of fire for Christian practice in Britain, and combining critical observation of several contemporary fire rites with theological analysis. In addition, I conduct original case studies of three Scottish fire rituals: the Stonehaven Fireball Ceremony, the Beltane Fire Festival, and Up-Helly-Aa in Lerwick, Shetland. The potential contribution of fire imagery to Christian practice has been overlooked by modern theological scholarship, social anthropologists, and Christian practitioners. Since the multivalence of the image has not been fully recognised, fire imagery has often been reduced to a binary of ‘positive' and ‘negative' associations. Through my study of non-faith fire rituals and existing Christian fire practices, I explore the interplay between multivalence, multiplicity, and liminality in fire imagery. I demonstrate that deeper theological engagement with the image of fire can enhance participation, transformation, and reflection in transitional ritual experience. I argue that engaging with the multivalence of the image of fire could allow faith communities to move beyond dominant interpretive frameworks and apply the image within their own specific context. First, I orientate the discussion by examining the multivalence of biblical fire imagery and establishing the character of fire within the British social imagination. Second, I use critical observation of community fire practices in non-faith contexts to build a new contextual framework for the analysis of fire imagery. Finally, I apply my findings to a contextual analysis of existing Christian fire practices in Britain. Throughout, I argue that sensory and imaginative interaction with the image of fire provides a way to communicate and interact with theological ideas; experience personal and communal change; and mediate experience of the sacred.

Full textAbstract:
La dimension religieuse, qui apparait comme un caractère distinctif de la scène orientaliste en Syrie Palestine dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle était absente de l'école française un siècle plus tôt. Par sa précision topographique et son interprétation religieuse, la peinture orientaliste de Syrie Palestine s'apparente aux œuvres préraphaélites. En fait, le recours à la dimension religieuse, intensément exploitée par une société coloniale britannique, le Palestine exploration fund, entretient la confusion entre ce qui relève de l'art et ce qui relève du discours officiel. Cela apparait notamment dans l'idéalisation de Jérusalem, qui falsifie et occulte le caractère arabe de la cité. L'apparent emprunt aux thèmes quotidiens, qui semble imposer l'œuvre orientaliste comme un portrait ethnographique de l'Orient, est une reformulation de la réalité d'après une projection iconographique occidentale, y compris par le recours à une typologie et une toponymie bibliques. On distingue alors dans les scènes orientalistes des écoles anglaise, française, allemande et américaine, ce qui est purement imaginaire et ce qui est imaginaire recycle dans un cadre colonial. Pourtant, W. H. Hunt, simplement mu par le souci vériste, a réussi à composer à l'apogée de sa création poétique une œuvre qui offre un échantillon de réalité ethnographique.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa nasce do encontro do olhar-expedicionário, sempre curioso e disposto a relacionar arte e ciência, com a Paragem das Conchas - nome atribuído à primeira sesmaria do Rio Grande do Sul, que corresponde hoje a um conjunto de municípios, dentre os quais, está Osório – lugar onde se desenvolvem as incursões aqui analisadas, entre os anos de 2012 e 2016. As experiências começam no ateliê, que funciona como um jardim onde se cultiva a linguagem do desenho, até que este lugar de produção de imagens abre-se e passa a ser compreendido como um observatório da natureza, fundindo-se, ao final, com a própria floresta. A principal pergunta que surge daí é: como se dá essa relação entre o ver e o conhecer a partir das experiências fenomenológicas com a paisagem que o meu trabalho artístico (obras em desenho, poesia, fotografia, objetos e instalação) proporciona? As rotas e o instrumental utilizados para as observações foram sendo redefinidos no próprio andar, como se fosse um Caminho de Peabiru, esse conjunto de trilhas indígenas cultivadas pelos Incas, que ligavam o Oceano Pacífico ao Atlântico. No andamento, foi preciso desaprender a ver o que eu pensava saber e aprender a ver o que não sabia que existia. O conjunto de trabalhos aqui apresentados forma um atlas onde procuro transmutar essas vivências por meio da linguagem poética. A narrativa divide a expedição em três momentos: Estudos sobre a terra | Estudos sobre a água | Estudos sobre o vento. A ação de expedir é interpretada em seu sentido literal de “liberar os pés das cadeias”. A pesquisa está dividida em dois volumes. No TOMO I apresento um percurso teórico em que o sol metaforiza, inicialmente, a relação entre o ver e o conhecer e, passo a passo, vai sendo eclipsado pela imagem da fogueira, que provoca uma queima de arquivo em que é necessário transmutar as memórias. O TOMO II é um livro de artista concebido a partir das travessias por TERRA (“Inventário de Fauna e Flora” e “Herbarium”), ÁGUA (“Travessia de Beija-Flor por águas doces”) e AR (“Tipologia do Mar – Escala Beaufort” e “Tipologia das nuvens – L. Howard”).This research was created from the meeting of the expeditionary perspective, always curious and open to connect art and science, and Paragem das Conchas - the name given to the first sesmaria in Rio Grande do Sul - which today corresponds to a few different cities, amongst them Osório - the chosen spot for this expedition, which took place between 2012 and 2016. The experiences begin in the studio, which acts as a garden to cultivate the drawing language, till this image-production site opens up to be acknowledged as a nature observatory, ultimately merging with the forest itself. The main question that arises from that is: how does the relationship between seeing and knowing from phenomenological experiences in the landscape that my artistic work (drawing, poetry, photography, objects and art installation) provides me presents itself? The routes and instruments used in the observational trips were redefined while they were happening, such as in Caminho de Peabiru, the indigenous trails created by the Incas connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic. As the project went on, I had to unlearn how to see what I thought I knew and learn how to see what I did not know existed. The body of work presented here forms an atlas where I seek to transmute those experiences into a poetic narrative. The expedition was divided between three installments: Studies of the earth | Studies of the water | Studies of the wind. “Expedition” is interpreted here in a literal sense, that of “freeing the feet from the chains.” The research is divided in two volumes. In TOME I the theoretical path is presented, initially, in a way in which the sun acts as a metaphor of the relationship between seeing and knowing and, gradually, is eclipsed by the image of the bonfire, which leads to an indispensable documentation burning in order to transmute memories. TOME II is an artistic book created from crossings through land (“Inventário de Fauna e Flora” and “Herbarium”), water (“Travessia de Beija-Flor por águas doces”) and air (“Tipologia do Mar – Escala Beaufort” and “Tipologia das nuvens – L. Howard”).

Full textAbstract:
This essay is working on exploring what it is that motivates the man and the boy to survive despite the harsh reality they live in. The purpose of the essay is to show four main factors for motivation: morality, religion, society and paternal love. The first factor is the fundamental inner voice of morality which tells them why they should do something. In order to be able to productively discuss the topic of moral motivation I will introduce W.D. Ross's theory of Pluralistic Deontology as a means to find a framework in which to discuss this aspect of the novel. The second factor discussed is religion, which somewhat functions in the same way as morality does but seems to be more of a driving force, primarily for the man. The third factor is society in the sense of how it motivates one to take certain actions. I will use Thomas Hobbes’s idea of the state of nature, but also make it clear how, specifically, a postapocalyptic scenario affects the protagonists. The fourth factor and also the overarching factor discussed is paternal love. This factor is inter-located throughout the whole essay. Probably the most significant phrase from Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is “carrying the fire” (79). It is a central focal point in the man and the boy's overall interaction. The importance of the phrase cannot be stressed enough and does, without a doubt, carry a significant meaning for them both. However, we never really get an explanation to what the phrase really means, which inevitably invites the readers to draw their own conclusions as to what the phrase conveys. It remains ambiguous throughout the novel but in terms of motivation it has to do with surviving and/or the upholding of values remembered from the pre-apocalyptic society. As I address the phrase this meaning it also becomes possible to see that there are motivating factors for both the man and the boy that affect their morale to keep the fire going. This essay will investigate three possible motivating factors found in the novel, and, in addition to this, an overarching factor that can, arguably, function as connection between the other three factors.

“Chunk” is the basic component in the expression and structure of a 3-dimensional form. The visual effect created by the accumulation of “chunks” releases a sense of blockage or hindrance, and produces an impression of anxiety and impact, as well as a gradually widening understanding among viewers. The primary purpose of this study is the creative role of “chunks” in ceramic art; their unique features, such as accumulation and amassment, their ever-increasing ability to express meaning, as well as their massive visual effect. In this way, the timeless and mammoth quality of earth and land are capable of being conveyed to the viewer. Viewed in this perspective, wood-fire ceramics may be defined as: the use of natural wood as fuel to fire the clay objects until they transformed into porcelain. “The art of wood-fired-ceramic chunks”, is the creation of ceramic objects in the form of “chunks”; a process of prolonged kiln firing before the chunk ceramic at last is transformed into ceramic medium. During the process of firing the kiln, the demand for enormous physical strength conveys to viewers the phenomenon of bodily labor and a yearning to unite with Nature. Moreover, it is an explicit way of reflecting on the excess development of modern civilization. This study will begin with a discussion of the “unique properties of clay”, the material, tools, and technical skills needed to fire a kiln, followed by an introduction to the presentation and arrangement of wood ashes and fire marks on the final product. Finally, the combination of “chunk” structure and wood-fire ceramics that serves as a means by which I present my creative art, will confirm my analysis and theory, thereby supporting my own concept of aestheticism in style and art form. The works aim to convey a constructive concept by crashing and splitting chunks in order to create a sense of visual tension. The application of wood-firing is meant to present the multi-aspects of construction, home and space in the eye of post-modernism. Meanwhile, this proves how the combination of chunks and wood-firing is effective in adding aesthetic support to works of arts. The conclusions are as follow. 1. “Chunk” is not only a form of presentation but also a theme of presentation. 2. Wood-firing helps to consolidate chunks and accumulate energy in chunks. 3. Types of kiln, kiln staking, the environment of firing are key factors that affect the final results of firing.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to make a contribution toward a theory of creative craft. The dissertation consists of three major divisions: the first posits the problem of the craft/art distinction in the context of the aesthetics of R. G. Collingwood; the second offers a transition to a more concrete orientation concerning the problem by using the approaches of William Morris, Sir Herbert Read, and Bernard Leach; and in the third, I present a case study and an investigation of doing, making, and creating in the potter's studio. I look on them as studio achievements and activities nestled in the general context of human artistic practices, traditions, and labour. Collingwood makes a clear and deep distinction between craft making and art making. He defined them in such a way that no features of the one could possibly be features of the other, yet he stipulated that craft was a necessary (but not sufficient) condition of great art. He defined craft as the specialized knowledge necessary for the skilled fabrication of preconceived artifacts; he defined art as the expression of emotion, pure and simple. Following Collingwood's lead, I offer a negative criticism of his theory in order to break up a logjam of philosophical debris. I then proceed to a constructive analysis of the case based in the potter's workplace. This setting provides me with the opportunity to propose and develop a new model for exemplifying what craft making is. The thesis asserts that by seeing the studio craftsperson as a member of a human community and communities, we can more readily grasp how skill and originality, excellence and uniqueness, plan and autonomy, imagination and physical labour, and technique and creativity need not be seen as exclusive poles. They may be, and often are, interwoven facets of much human labour in the arts. The activity of the studio potter provides the context, the tradition, the practices, and the broad cultural base within which language about creative making, an important part of the aesthetic aspect of craft, may be intelligently discussed

From Discovering“the Secret Garden”to Exploring the Integration of Firewood-fire Ceramic Art with Leisure in Miaoli County Abstract It is the research on my personal interest that motivates the writing of this thesis. The title of the thesis was made as a result of repeated speculation and continual learning. With its historic background in firewood-fire ceramic art site, unique mountainous geo-environment and ceramic raw materials, Miaoli firewood-fire ceramic art has gradually taken its shape under the business operation pattern of integrating production site with business place, which attracts artists to settle down here for creation, and melts local lifestyle culture and different styles amongst ethnic groups together into a locally unique artistic atmosphere. Through understanding the development course of firewood-burnt ceramic art industry in Miaoli area, which ran through several changes and trasnformations, we now witness how this industry evolves to the face today － integrating production site with business place. It features an appearance of including recreation lifestyle, gives a creative stage for self-realization under existing conditions, and adds cultural elements to “fun” and “play.” Since recreation activities carry leisure and experiential education on relevant knowledge and aesthetics about firewood-fire ceramic art, tourists can benefit from it in ways that they may enjoy a better recreational activing in both informative input and attitude, and better improve children-parent relationship. This research has sampled the five locations for comparative analysis using a qualitative research approach, including Hua Tao Kiln area, Yun Hsin Kiln Area, Hua Shih Kiln Area, Chin Lung Kiln Area, and Chuan Tou Kiln Area. The researcher starts with sampling interview and on-site observation, and then collects and summarizes comprehensive old literatures. In order to explore the genuine development course of the firewood- fire ceramic art industry in Miaoli area, the researcher tries to put together each owners’ personal stories. By entering the kiln sites and talking to the owners and visitors face-to-face, the researcher can share owners’ deeply rooted passion via dialogues, and experience owner’s real life tastes on ceramic art creation. The conclusion concludes that: (1) The owner allows tourists to engage self-realization through access to his ceramic art site which integrates with leisure (2) This provides an in-depth understaning on the historic position and current status of Miaoli’s firewood-fire ceramic art industry; (3) It carries a cooperative model of combining business sectors, government institutions, and academic organizations together, featuring both personal artistic creation and cultural-tour industry; (4) It generates an artistic atmosphere for real life and attains a more artistic life goal; (5) The firewood-fire ceramic art is to be appreciated by visitors in ways as “fun/play,” “public activity,” “tour guide with educational purpose;” and (6) A locally unique cultural values and implications can be emphasized through use of local materials for ceramic art site development. After verification and correction, it is the researcher’s sincere aspiration that this issue can enable everybody to ponder over this art, and continue to explore other possible space following the course of integrating firewood- fire ceramic art with leisure.

Spaces and geography are the important topics of contemporary art in many ways and forms; artists usually using map as artwork, and became a big theme of Contemporary Curating. Because the local art’s academic communities in Taiwan, the research of map art are not very popular recently, the research almost focus on artist’ personal experiences and work life, it seldom discuss about maps. But in contemporary art, map as art has became more popular and common; this thesis hope can be a beginning, and let people find the fascination and multiple meanings of map art. First, I traced back to maps’ appearance through art history, there are some implies in the paintings , this can help us to realize the arts of maps. Second, the sites and cartography’s theories that related to map art to reveal issue. When artists used the maps, whatever map-drawing or documents, reversal map’s sovereign position, strip objectivity of the maps, and expose hidden subjectivity. Why Artists use maps as art? Because maps not only could indicate a wide view of history and territory, but also have character; maps express the system clearly space information, at same time, map can emphasize or hide something, artists can use above mentioned to create map art. Finally, this thesis discuss two artist’ ‘works, one is China Basin Plans: The River Dragon Breathes Fire by Peter Fend, another is China is Near by Joyce Kozloff, both of them are created map art over twenty years. Peter Fend used satellite map to reveal ecology and environment of global topic, Joyce Kozloff showed the everyday life by photos, signs, Google maps, and showing her imaginative of ‘’China’’. The artist using map as art can make audiences know about the role of map in contemporary art, and realize map arts have multiplicity ideas.

Since the sound-insulated fire-resistant doors have the advantages like fire resistance, sound insulation, barrier free etc. and can work like smoke barrier, they are gradually applied in some huge performing public space. However, there is no corresponded door combined with both functions of sound insulation and fire resistance in the market. Therefore, the sound insulation performance is first simulated with special software in 5 door dimensions and 2 door thickness based on the size and the performance requirement from the real case in Taiwan. Second, 3 different interlayer materials and 3 different sound absorbing materials are replaced for the simulation to find out the best combination. Third, the real sized door specimens are produced with this theroretically best material combination in different dimensions and different thickness and are sent for the testing. From the test result, it shows that that the sound-insulated fire-resistant door with thickness 72mm has the best sound insulation effect, while the door with 52mm has the worst sound insulation effect. Besides, from the comparison between 5 different real sized doors and 5 simulated doors, the coincidence effect plays an important role to the sound insulation performance of real sized doors. In order to mitigate the coincidence effect and improve the insulation performance, the damping material is installed between interlayer materials and the surface density is increased. Although this modification can mitigate the coincidence effect and improve the performance, the improvement of surface density will lead to the resonance effect. Finally, some optimal combinations of materials within based on the test and the simulation are proposed for production companies as reference. The multi-layer boards have better sound insulation effect than single sheet if the total thickness of door is constant. Rock wool can be applied as the central stuffing material, when the both functions from sound insulation and fire resistance are taken into account. If only the function of sound insulation is considered, glass wool can be applied.

This is a research of how the influence on the exploring of career issues for adolescent with burn trauma who participated in 2017 Fire Rebirth Angel Camp. The research used the qualitative method by observation the group, interview, and process analysis to conclusively present information of experiences from 8 participants in comparison with the group records and journals to investigate the following conclusion. The experience during the course of participation would be presented in correlation with photography at the interpersonal relationship, external environment, and internal mind. It included the group experience and the use of photography tools to present pictures of “internal mind”, as well as the photo sharing and the “relational interaction” in a group to form results to be simulated in the “external environment” for change and transformation. With the group leader's concept of “education before therapy”, the group member would become familiarized with the correlation of photography, where the external environment provided sensory stimuli to individual level. By group attention and exploration, the psychological state would be in continuous interaction with the external environment. The impact of group experience on career exploration has also been influenced by the continuous interaction of "relationship with photography", "influence at the individual level" and "environmental and interpersonal influence", and even "exploration of the career path". According to the interview data, participants catalyze the change and perception of their own career. The influence on exploring career issues by group experience could be summarize into three points: awareness of career issues, to accept the past, cherish the possession of the future and have more clearer goal or direction. Finally, the researchers discussed the findings, and provided suggestion and direction for future workers and limitation to the experiment.
