Simulating the Design Thinking as the Foundation for Digitally Form Generative Design

[[abstract]]產品造形的數位衍生設計，長期以來都受到許多電腦輔助設計研究學者的重視，產 品型體的數位衍生設計，則大都以轉化消費者對產品外觀的感覺或意象，並基於使用者 對造型的情感反應與認知作為分析研究的基礎，透過數學演算的量化分析與電腦3D技術 的應用，期望建構出符合消費者感官或心理上需求的產品。 不過這些數位造型的衍生規則，並未將實際的設計構想的思考歷程考慮其中；而在 構想發展過程中，設計師對形態的認知與轉換，及聯想時專業知識的運用，是引發創作 者激發知覺、再認及想像的認知過程，進而產生視覺思考與視覺的推理，而達到產生創 意的目的。 因此本計畫以設計認知思考上的研究為基礎，以二年的時間建立一以設計思考為基 礎的數位造型衍生系統。並且選定目馬丁尼酒杯為實際設計物，以該設計競賽之設計要 求為設計目標，來測試驗證此設計思考為中心的數位設計與形體衍生的電腦輔助概念設 計系統。第一年之研究擬建立單純型體之馬丁尼杯水平與垂直思考策略形體衍生之量化 關係及雙向之意象評價與造型衍生介面。第二年研究擬建立複雜型體之水平與垂直思考 策略意象與形體衍生和創意評價法則之量化關係及雙向之意象評價與最佳化之造型衍 生介面。本計劃各年之目標成果如下： 第一年： 1. 建立單純型體馬丁尼杯之水平與垂直思考意象資料庫。 2. 建立單純型體馬丁尼杯「水平」、「垂直」思考策略意象之最適造形衍生資料庫。。 3. 建立單純型體馬丁尼杯思考策略之參數化評價法則。 4. 建立目標水平與垂直思考策略意象之馬丁尼杯最適形體衍生模式。 5.建立自動化雙向之意象評價與單純型體馬丁尼杯之自動化造形衍生模擬介面。 第二年： 1. 建立複雜形體之馬丁尼酒杯之思考策略意象的參數化評價法則。 2. 建立創意計算法則，建立複雜形體水平與垂直思考之創意造型之參數化評價法則。 3. 建立目標型體之水平與垂直思考策略意象與最適形體衍生模式和創意評價法則。 4. 建立型體馬丁尼杯之自動化造形衍生模擬、水平與垂直思考策略語彙評價與目標意象 之造形衍生、模擬介面。 5. 參加馬丁尼杯設計競賽，並驗證其使用成效。[[abstract]]The issues of digital generative design of product form, is attended by the researches of computer aided design for long time. Their works of form generation, are response to the sensation of consumers on product appearance, and are based on affection and perception of form through the application of algorithm and computer 3-D technique, in order to construct and meet the consumer need. However, these generative rules of digital form did not consider the thinking process during design concept formation. During the concept developing process, the designers’ recognition and transformation of visual features from their external visualization, and associating to relating professional knowledge from long-term memory facilitates the visual thinking and visual reasoning to produce a novel ideas or a possible problem solution. Therefore, this project is based on the research of design cognitive thinking, and planned to build a digital form generative system centered on design thinking for two years. The martini wine cup has been selected as a design target to attend the martini cup design competition, and to test the generative system. The first year’s research will construct the quantitative relationship, image evaluation and the simple form martini cup’s generative interface betweenthinking strategies and images. The second year’s research will consider the complex form martini wine cup design, and further model their quantitative relationship of thinking strategies image evaluation, creative evaluating measure, and optimal complex form generative. Finally, the digital design generative interface for this project requires to be constructed. The annual achievements are drawn up as follows. The first year: 1. Construct the thinking strategies image database for simple martini cup design. 2. Construct the thinking strategies form generative database for martini cup design. 3. Construct the parameterized evaluation algorithms for the simple martini cup and the related thinking strategies image. 4. Construct the optimal simple martini cup generative model based on the objective thinking strategies’image. 5. Construct an automatic form generative interface for image evaluation and simple martini cup’s simulation and generating. The second year: 1. Construct the parameterized evaluation algorithms for the complex martini cup and the related strategies image. 2. Construct the parameterized evaluation algorithms for the complex martini cup and the related creative evaluating image. 3. Construct the optimal form generating model based on the objective thinking strategies images and ideal creative measurement. 4. Construct an automatic form generative design interface for image evaluation and thinking strategies simulation and searching. 5. Apply the research achievements to attend the martini wine cup competition to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed system.[[note]]NSC98-2410-H224-02
