On Bionics in Industrial Design (middle)

Summarized abstract bionic forms have the following characteristics:

1) Simplification and generalization of form height

The simplification and generalization of the form height refers to the abstract expression of the nature of the form. Through the scientific analysis of biological forms or non-biological forms, combined with our life experience, we can prove that the essence of all forms is a movement of internal forces. This change in internal force movements is the basis of the resulting form. In the study of morphology, the designer intentionally or unintentionally perceives the changes in the internal forces of the form as vitality, and then uses the combination of points, lines, and surfaces to express vitality. Therefore, it is simplified in form, and it is highly general in conveying essential characteristics.

The simplification of this form and the generality of the features exactly coincide with the conciseness of the appearance of modern industrial products, geometry, and the semantic requirements of the product. Therefore, it is widely used in modern product design.

2) Rich association and imagination

When an abstract biomimetic form acts on a person, the resulting “mental” form must accumulate life experiences and come to mind through association and imagination. Therefore, it fully released people's infinite imagination. At the same time, because of people's different life experiences, the “heart shape” produced by individual subjective preferences is not the same, and the feelings that give rise to form vitality are naturally rich and colorful.

3) Diversity of abstract forms in the same figurative form

In the process of abstraction of the same figurative form, designers have different forms of abstraction due to different life experiences, abstract methods, and different expression methods.

When applied to product development, abstract bionic patterns have the following advantages in production and sales:

1) Convenient production

The form of the abstract form is concise, which accords with the concise geometric appearance that modern industrial products advocate. Therefore, there is no special requirement for the production equipment. The developer can carry out production conveniently and quickly, which provides bionic production for various industrial products. Infinite possibilities.

2) Diversification of product forms

There are too many figurative forms, and the abstract forms are countless. This provides the possibility for diversification of bionic industrial products.

3) Meet different levels of customers

The associative and imaginative nature of the abstract form fully frees the imagination of the customer. People can not only feel the organic, cute, fun, affinity, and sports characteristics of the product form, but also think of themselves because of their different associations and imaginations. Cute little pets, some think of a beautiful love, some think of an old friend, some think of a pleasant journey, etc., are the so-called benevolent see, the wise see wisdom. From different perspectives, customers feel that the bionic form gives the product the artistic beauty and imagination space, which makes it easier to satisfy different levels of customers and thus stimulate their common desire to purchase.

4) Products return to nature

The essential feature of the abstract bionic form is the vitality of life resulting from the change of internal force movement. This feature gives bionic products a symbol of life, allowing the product to return to nature, establishing a platform for people, machines, and natural dialogues. This symbiotic philosophical view rationally builds harmony between man-made nature and ecological nature, and enhances human and Natural unity. Bionic furniture is a kind of furniture made from animals, plants, and other creatures. Its image is very realistic, and it is attached to the attachment of nature. Such furniture gives people a sense of nature.

In short, figurative bionic stays in the imitation of biological surface, and its ideological and artistic content is relatively low; abstract bionics concentrate on refining the intrinsic essential properties of objects. It is a special mental processing activity and belongs to high-level thinking creation activities. It focuses on revealing objects. The concept of connotation. In modern bionic design, high, new, refined and sharp industrial products are more suitable for abstract bionics.

2, the function of the bionic

People have found that the functions of certain aspects of animals and plants actually far surpass the human scientific and technological achievements in this area. All kinds of animals and plants that live in nature can survive and move in various harsh and complex environments because of the evolution of their movement organs and form and the struggles of harsh and complex environments. In the natural evolution of millions of years, plants and animals have not only fully adapted to nature, but also have evolved to a degree close to perfect. Today, we live in an era of rapid development of science and technology. Learning and using the excellent structure and wonderful functions of biological systems has become a new direction of technological innovation and technological revolution. Many facts show that bionics is the golden key to the development of new technologies.

The idea of ​​bionics is based on natural evolution and coevolution. Bionics attempts to mimic the function of animals and plants in nature in terms of technology. This idea has set up a bridge between biology and technology and has helped solve technical problems. By reproducing the principles of biology, humans have not only found technical solutions, but at the same time the program has also fully adapted to the needs of nature. Its purpose is to analyze biological processes and structures and use this analysis for future designs.

In the process of creating a material civilization, humans often apply certain characteristics of living creatures to create inventions. For example, scientists have successfully developed helicopters based on the flying principle of helium. According to the helium's flight principle, helicopters have been successfully developed. According to the fins, the weighted fins are safe at high speeds. People imitate the addition of counterweights on both wings of the aircraft to solve the problem of vibration caused by high-speed flight. The thorny problem; also based on the principle of frog eyes, scientists use electronic technology to create a radar system that can accurately and quickly identify targets; according to the principle of 100% light energy conversion efficiency of firefly, human cold light source, will be its luminous efficiency Increased by more than 10 times greatly saves energy. Another example is the structural characteristics of an insect-like complex eye, humans have created large-screen modular color TVs and compound eye cameras; imitation dog nose olfactory function, humans created the electronic nose can detect extremely trace amounts of toxic gases, and so many amazing create.

In spite of this, there are thousands of animals and plants in the natural world, and many of their superb skills and mysteries have not yet been fully grasped, but it is believed that with the development of bionic technology, various bionic inventions will be continuously applied to human life. Come.
