试以设计事理学解读中国坐具演化史

AN ATTEMPT BASED ON DESIGN METHODOLOGY TO INTERPRET THE EVOLUTION OF SEATS IN CHINA

现代人的生活里充满了各种器物,但很少人会去探讨这些器物如何演变成当今我们所熟悉的形式,设计从业者也往往迷失于造型工作,而忽略设计创新的真正内涵。本研究将中国工业设计之父柳冠中先生所提出的产品创新方法——设计事理学重新理解,反向应用于器物演化史,并实际以中国坐具演化史做演示,证明以设计事理学解读器物演化史确实助于辨析物品的本质于存在环境的交互关系。透过在设计前期针对目标功能进行相关产品演化史的阅读与梳理,能帮助当代设计师不被形所迷惑,而能以更具深度的思考开展设计。

Human＇s modern life is full of artificiality, thanks to the progress in the manufacture technology. However, it＇s rare for people to think about how a piece of artificiality evolve from the very beginning into the shape that people are familiar with nowadays. The author took advantage of the Design Methodology proposed by esteemed professor of Tsinghua University, also known as the father of industrial design in China, Prof. Liu Guanzhong, and interpreted the evolution of seats in China. The outcome shows the Design Methodology is not only an approach for innovation, but also an ideal tool for designers to understand the essence of modern artificiality.
