Two functions of analogical reasoning in design: a cognitive-psychology approach

On the basis of data collected in three empirical studies conducted on industrial designers, this paper identifies two different types of ‘spontaneous’ use of analogy in design. Focus is on the first ‘stages’ of analogical reasoning, i.e. construction of a target representation, and search and retrieval of a source. At the action-execution level, analogies are used in order to solve the current design problem; at the action-management level, in order to make the action-execution process cognitively more economical. Differences between the uses concern their dependence on the routine character of the task, the distance between target and source, and their link with creativity and reuse (or case-based reasoning).     

现代产品设计中的适当设计理念

论证了在现代产品设计中提出适当设计理念的理由,阐述了适当设计的本质含义.并从消费需求、产品的功能、材料及造型等4个方面,对适当设计的具体运作方法进行了比较详细的分析和研究.同时也指出了,利用适当设计,可使产品能最准确地满足目标群体最真实、最合理的消费需求,以缓解当前因产品的过度设计所带来种种问题.     

Quality perceptions of design journals: The design scholars’ perspective

The primary objectives of this study were to identify a set of journals that report on industrial design research and to propose quality rankings of those journals. Based on an online survey, design journals were assessed in terms of two quality metrics: popularity and indexed average rank position. We find that both general and specialized design journals are highly valued and that geographic origin and academic background can be related with journal rankings. The results of the study offer a guide to both evaluators and those evaluated when judging or selecting research outlets.     

工业设计与文化之间的关系研究

以文化、设计、产品为主线,在研究文化定义现象的基础上,提出设计文化的概念及其知识领域、特点、结构;论述了产品设计的本质、目的和文化性;介绍了产品的文化承载;阐述了文化和设计之间的相互影响;最后强调了人在工业设计过程中发挥的核心作用.通过研究文化、设计、产品三者关系,旨在指导产品设计,提高产品的文化价值和品牌价值.     

工业设计中的知识管理

论述了建立面向工业设计的知识管理系统,对实现企业内、外部知识共享、知识应用和知识创新,保持设计师持续快速创新能力和企业新产品开发能力的重要作用,以及如何建立服务于工业设计的知识管理系统.     

工业产品设计与色彩流行

分析了工业产品中色彩设计的重要意义,人的生理、心理、环境、风俗等因素对产品色彩理解的影响;探讨了流行色的发展和应用,并举例证明了工业产品与流行色的密切联系,工业设计中流行色的运用深深地影响着产品的在商业化过程中的成功.     

材料设计的发展新趋势——材料设计计算方法

计算机计算技术和量子理论等领域的发展,使材料住处数据系统,热力学方法,分了疲乏量子理论乃至神经网络方法,拓扑几何都应用于材料设计中,采用计算方法进行材料设计上具人经验、高效及预测功能的特点,该方法将成为材料设计发展的重新趋势。
