Summary: | 碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 創意生活設計系 === 105 === As trends change over time, the cultural and creative industries have been gaining
importance and drawing attention due to the constantly improving quality of people’s
lives. Life aesthetics based on green design has also become a kind of stress relieving
life experience. Given lack of cultural features in commercially available planting ware,
this study has looked into design elements for pots in architectural way of thinking.
Among Taiwan's traditional architectures, Fujian-style architecture is the most
characteristic and contains cultural connotations in shape formation. Therefore, this
study has focused on transforming the shape formation of roof ridges in Fujain-style
architecture and applying the results to pot design in the hope that this additional
cultural value can increase the aesthetics and fun of pots.
This study examined discourses on cultural creativity and ceramic craftsmanship,
roof ridge decorations in Fujian-style architecture and pot design examples in a
literature review to establish the creation background and basis. Then, the creation
strategy and method were developed based on the literature analysis and were combined
with experiences obtained from experimental creation to form the design basis for final
creation. This was followed by the creation stage, in which a multi-level processing
technique was used. Two main bodies were formed in the shape of roof ridge
decorations in Fujian-style architecture using both cement and ceramic and were added
with functionality and fun to create two series of products. Finally, a questionnaire
survey was conducted to obtain feedback on the finished creations.
The following three conclusions are drawn from the series of products created
using the aforementioned methods:
(1) By examining the form and aesthetics of roof ridges in traditional Fujian-style
architecture, shape-forming elements have been obtained and applied.
(2) Through the experimental creation, an innovative method has been developed
that combines two heterogeneous materials, ceramic and cement.
(3) Combining culture and creativity can increase the aesthetics and functionality
of pots.
