MARS 2060
A speculative design project about the exploration of Mars. The project imagines future sports equipment that will be used in the first Martian Olympics and considers planetary expansion in terms of cultural colonization.
2020 will see more detection equipment on Mars, with missions launching from China, NASA and private companies such as SpaceX. With the Martian launch window every 2 years and 2 months, the exploration of Mars continues to attract massive public attention.
Based on existing Mars exploration research and the projected plans of national space agencies, the project imagines a Mars exploration timeline from 2027 to 2060 in which the rapid development of Martian resources controlled by various countries mirrors the race to the moon between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War and how human explore Antarctica. In order to avoid further conflict and promote peaceful progress, the first Martian Olympics will be held simultaneously with the 44th Earth Olympics and used to promote and re-establish ideals of peace and solidarity.
New sports will be initiated for the Martian Olympics suited to and facilitated by Mars' specific low-gravity environment. The first of these unique Martian sports will be the 60 meters run on water. For this event specially designed running shoes will be developed utilizing biotechnology inspired by the Basilisk lizard.
關於⽕星探索的思辨設計項⽬。該項⽬設想了將在⾸屆⽕星奧運會中使⽤的未來運動器材，並將⾏星擴張視為⼀種⽂化式的殖⺠。
2020年將有更多的探測設備發射，其任務是從中國，NASA和SpaceX等私⼈公司發射。每隔2年零2個⽉有⼀次⽕星發射窗⼝，對⽕星的探索繼續引起公眾的⼴泛關注。
根據現有的⽕星探測研究和國家航天局的計劃計劃，該項⽬設想了2027年⾄2060年的⽕星探測時間表，其中各國的⽕星資源開採發展迅速好似當年美國和蘇聯之間的登⽉競賽以及⼈類探索南極洲⼤陸。為了避免進⼀步的衝突和促進和平發展，⾸屆⽕星奧林匹克運動會與第44屆地球奧林匹克運動會同時舉⾏，⽤於促進和重建和平與團結的理想。
鑒於⽕星特殊的低重⼒，新的運動項⽬將在第⼀屆⽕星奧運會上啓 動。第⼀個獨特的⽕星運動將⾸先在60⽶⽔上進⾏。在這次活動中， 將採⽤受蛇怪蜥蜴啓發的⽣物技術開發特別設計的跑鞋。
Concept — In my speculative Martian timeline, the years between 2045 and 2048 are deeply unsettling and unstable. The first Martian Olympics is used to promote and re-establish ideals of peace and solidarity. Secondly, the Olympics shows the very basic human behaviour which we have been used since the first homo sapiens appeared on Earth. After centuries of evolution, when we human can do this very basic activity on another planet, I believe that the Olympic Games will be the symbol of humanity who becomes an interstellar species.
概念 - 在我的推測性⽕星時間軸中，2045年⾄2048年之間的歲⽉⾮常動蕩且不穩定。⾸屆⽕星奧運會⽤於促進和重建和平與團結的⽬標。其次，奧林匹克運動會展示了⼈類⾃⼈類出現以來最基本的⼈類⾏為。經過數個世紀的演變，當我們⼈類可以在另⼀個星球上進⾏這種⾮常基本的活動時，我相信奧運會將成為⼈類成為星際物種的象徵。
FUTURE TIMELINE SPECULATION未來時間線的設定
FOUR FACTORS OF THE UNSETTLING
All the unsettling events highlighted from 2045 to 2048 can be concluded by these four factors which are distrust, national competition, human desire and money. They also mirror the current situation of all the conflicts that happened on Earth today.
令⼈不安的四個因素
在2045年⾄2048年期間突出顯示的所有令⼈不安的事件都可以由以下四個因素得出結論：不信任，國家競爭，⼈類渴望和⾦錢。他們還反映了當今地球上發⽣的所有衝突的現狀。
它如何在⽔⾯上發揮作⽤-如今，奧運會也是公眾的⼀項娛樂活動。球員的腳和鞋⼦之間有⼀段距離。當他們開始⽐賽時，它們看上去完全像在⽔⾯上，⽽不是沈⼊⽔中。
Di Zhu 指出攝影和視頻製作一直在幫助我思考如何更好地講述一個故事。設計給了他一個同時創造和講述故事的機會。
他一直認為設計不應該由功能驅動，而應該由情感驅動。在商業設計的背景下，他的作品旨在從用戶情感的角度解決問題，改善用戶體驗。除了以用戶為中心的設計方法，運用以對象為中心的設計思維，創造出適合環境、社會、不同文化的作品。
在他的碩士學習期間，他專注于思辨設計。他推測了不同的未來可能性，揭示了背後的文化和政治機制，並通過創造更好的未來場景和製作物理和互動的原型來闡明他的見解。
Photography and video production have always helped Di think about how to tell a story better. And design gave him an opportunity to create and tell a story simultaneously.
He always believed that design should not be driven by function but by emotion. In the context of commercial design, his work aims to solve problems and improve the user experience from the perspective of user emotion. In addition to the user-centred design method, by applying objects-centred design thinking, to create works that are suitable for the environment, society, and different cultures.
During his MA study, he focused on speculative design. He speculates different future possibilities, reveals cultural and political mechanisms behind them, and illustrate the insights through creating preferable future scenario and making physical and interactive prototypes.

皇家藝術學院與OPPO合作開展技術人性化
今年，OPPO 攜手皇家藝術學院的設計學院的產品設計部 （Royal College of Art, School of Design , Design Products Programme）展開了為期8個月圍繞「人性化科技」(Humanising Techology)的課題合作。最終，該項目中的11份學生作品作為學生畢業創作，在RCA2020 學校線上畢業展中進行展出。通過線上工作坊與線下交流，OPPO倫敦設計中心的設計師們在課程期間，多次與學生進行關課題討論，為學生帶來科技公司的前沿行業分析、技術趨勢和消費者洞察，並就學生作品以及創新設計進行指導和交流。
OPPO認為，以人為本是科技設計的核心，科技的價值在於為人所用。科技不應該霸道地佔領人們的生活，恰到好處的留白，才能讓用戶成為產品體驗中的主角。當設計從「人性」出發，回歸人的本質，才可能設計出讓人驚艷但又擁有恰到好處舒適感的科技產品。重新反思科技產品設計的意義，以「人」的需求為出發點，通過產品設計去探索人和科技的關係，是此次OPPO倫敦設計中心設置「人性化科技」課題的初衷。
本次合作是OPPO與RCA的第二次聯手，在上一年的校企合作中，OPPO是RCA參展2019年米蘭設計周的全球唯一智能手機合作夥伴，而今年OPPO則是RCA畢業展中唯一作為指導導師參與學生畢業設計的科技公司。
