Monthly Trend-watching by Granted Calendar

January 8, 2018March 24, 2024yokoimage, researchproduct, life, 2017, research, communication, graphic

Granted Calendar is not a calendar. Calendar tells people today is Friday, April has 30 days and 5th is Saturday. Granted Calendar goes deeper, unveiling the underlying patterns of time that nobody has ever seen. These hidden messages could possibly assist you on study, career, thinking, relationship, and almost any human activity. In a word, smart people follow Granted Calendar.

Granted Calendar grants us to do trend-watching of any given week, month, and year. From January to May of 2017, we have tried to predict what would happen in each month by looking carefully at Granted Calendar.

In the limited time of site survey, architects collect information by observing, taking notes, sketching, photographing, taking video, talking to locals etc.. When they are back in the office, they make sense out of them, giving birth to reports, diagrams and site models. By then, the whole team get a good understanding of the site especially by looking at the site model talking about the site, away from the site.

“What do you think you are looking at?” We asked friends and colleagues with the picture on the right. Paper-cut? Red envelope? Package for Spring Festival gift? Wedding invitation? None of them really got the answer we had expected to hear—the Chinese character Fú (福) on the door of every family, a traditional way of celebrating Spring Festival. We were shocked about this since we were so confident that nobody would misunderstood it. It urged us to review our design strategy completely, which brought us our second proposal. —Now, it would be good to talk about the things that happened prior to this very moment.

Jin was Tao’s best friend in his childhood. Enrolment at different universities separated them into two cities, one on the north side of Yangtze River, the other one on the south. They were not far from each other in terms of distance, but the contact was almost lost.
