关于科技博物馆原始创新展品的设计

For Designing Innovative Exhibits in in Science and Technology Museum

对科技博物馆创新展品设计研究,从具体的展品设计出发,提出创新展品设计不仅要重视宏观层面,更要在具体展品设计上下功夫。具有科技博物馆特色的展品设计是一个漫长的知识积累过程,设计展品需要有广泛的科学知识、学科之间横向联想的能力、设计思想表达能力和机械设计、工程实践经验。不提倡展品设计时简单的相互复制,注重展品设计从无到有的全过程,强调展品的精髓是思想而不是外形。捕捉设计展品的精髓应从跨学科联想、设计表达、机械制图、施工实践等方面综合考量,同时创新展品设计实践给日常展品设计思路提供了有益的启迪。

The paper focuses on the study of designing innovative exhibits displayed in science and technology museums. Based on the analysis of specific exhibits design cases, the paper argues that designing innovative exhibits should not only be about presenting general concepts, but also working hard on the designing ideas and processes. Designing for exhibits of science and technology museums requires experience accumulation overtime, which calls for extensive knowledge in related fields, the ability to associate interdisciplinary knowledge, the ability to present ideas and put them to actual products using mechanical tools, and projects field experience. Critical of simple replication, the paper highlights the significance of the design process itself and points out that the essence of these exhibits is about the ideas on display rather than appearance. The analysis of the designing essence should be approached comprehensively from interdisciplinary association, designing presentation, mechanical graphing, and mechanical production. The study of designing innovative exhibits also sheds light upon designs of regular exhibits.
