Summary: Trust plays a crucial role in establishing long-lasting and strong relationships between service providers and recipients. However, research on trust building through service design is limited due to the lack of comprehensive theoretical and methodological models. This study proposes a multidisciplinary and convergent theoretical approach to explore the building of trust through service design.

Summary: In 1972, designer Emilio Ambasz organized a symposium to discuss how design should address the problems of post-industrial society. He proposed a new design approach and aimed to establish a research-education institution for design. The article critically engages with the presentations at the symposium and explores the reconfiguration of the concept of the environment and the ideological responses to Ambasz's proposal. It also analyzes Ambasz's design fiction writing and identifies the Universitas as a rare moment in design history.

Summary: This paper presents the structural mechanical analysis of the Terracotta Warriors using 3D laser scanning technology and finite element methodology. The workflow includes steps such as point cloud capture, reverse modeling, mesh generation, and analysis, utilizing different software. By analyzing sculpture cases at different angles, it is found that apart from the ankle, the thigh and hip joints are also affected adversely under gravity. Rotating the sculpture at an appropriate angle can help reduce the stress on the structure.

Summary: In an interdisciplinary collaboration, researchers examined Guilio Romano's painting from 1525, "The Madonna with the Wash-Basin," using insights from art history and scientific analysis. They were able to uncover the artist's early reworking of the background and discovered the use of zinc, stibnite, and glass particles in different parts of the painting. These findings sparked a discussion about the revision process and the painting's relationship to Vasari's Lives of Artists.

Summary: When engaging with magic, we are often fascinated by seemingly impossible events that challenge our beliefs about what is possible in the real world. Despite understanding that these events are actually illusions, we can still be deeply moved by them. This problem relates to the paradox of fiction in aesthetics, and in the domain of theatrical magic, we need to address how to accommodate inconsistent and seemingly incompatible beliefs in the viewers' minds.

Summary: This article discusses the ekphrastic description of experiencing music and compares it with the commonly used analysis in music theory and musicology. It emphasizes the ancient understanding of ekphrasis and presents a new approach to researching the art of music by combining analytic philosophy and phenomenology. The article employs a methodology developed in art history to conduct an ekphrastic analysis of Arnold Schoenberg's Six Little Piano Pieces Op. 19.

Summary: Art and its Objects by Richard Wollheim, published in 1968, had a significant impact on aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Jerrold Levinson's intentional-historical theory of art, influenced by Wollheim's ideas, has remained influential. Wollheim's understanding of art's historicity draws on the literature of theoretical art history, bringing old art-historical problems into the realm of philosophy.

Summary: This paper discusses the artistic, cultural, political, and aesthetic inspiration behind the creation of Sarah Levy's artwork "Whatever" (Bloody Trump), a portrait of Donald Trump made with her menstrual blood. It examines the techniques, materiality, and reception of the portrait in public, art institutional, and media discourse. Drawing on interviews with the artist and critical visual analysis in the tradition of feminist art history, the paper argues that "Whatever" (Bloody Trump) should be recognized as an important artwork that aesthetically interprets and recalls the white supremacist politics and strong menstrual taboos of the Trump era.
