5 Design Practices
Based on the foregoing study phase, we specifically propose a design framework and process for cultural product design, proving the effectiveness of this systemic approach by the following design examples. The design practices in this study are the result of integration of literature reviews, design concepts from aboriginal culture in Taiwan, and the category of products related to life products. There are many different aboriginal tribes in Taiwan. Each tribe has dissimilarities in their respective features. However, some applications of utensils for daily using are similar, such as among the Paiwan and the Rukai which both use the flagstone to build residences and make furniture. In addition, some aboriginal tribes were using bamboo tubes or dry gourds as containers, the Hakka or Hoklo people in Taiwan also have similar customs. Moreover, these are characteristic features for demonstrating their application in products which could be easy recognized by consumers.
Through the design framework and process for implementing design practices, the material culture chosen was recorded in the cultural attributive analyses and design concepts table (Table 1), and developed the design concept of the products. From the above-mentioned background, we undertook the concept of the detail design and sought out the appropriate presentation of the products. Finally the practices were completed with computer models to simulate the actual product presentation.
As shown in Fig. 3, Lazurite beads of Paiwan were precious items passed down in the family by chiefs or used as wedding gifts. The number of beads on the neckwear represented the wealth, social class, position, and gender of the wearer. The sunglasses using the design practice of analogy revealed the extended personal characteristic and practicability. In addition, the designed concepts shown in Fig. 4 were developed based on the functional container of water, analogizing the function of container into the desk light. The shape and texture of the concept reveals the natural hard-shell shape of bamboo, and analogized the motion of pulling out the bamboo to the switch. According to the design framework and process, modern products were developed using the culture features as examples to explore the feasibility of the design reference from the cultural features. Therefore, it provides designers a valuable reference for designing successful cultural products.
