Studies On Community Structure And Optimized Tactics Of Urban Forest In Suzhou

With the rapid development of our furniture manufacturing and design industry, more and more furniture designers find out the importance of the design theories to the inventions of their works. Owing to various reasons, the study on the design theory is still insufficient. Without a scientific sight of design as the lead, it can be difficult for even an excellent designer to do any creations, and will get into the hot water. Therefore, it's necessary for us to make use of the new design theories to change the way of thinking and then to the actual practices of furniture design. The purpose of this paper is to study the modality symbols in furniture design on the view of the semeiology, in the hope to make up of a more integrated system of furniture modality semeiology.First of all, this paper concisely introduces some basic conceptions and theories of semeiology system. After that, it brings forward that the furniture modality has the feature of symbol. Furthermore, this paper analyses the inscapes and classification of semeiology, and has detailed analysis about the semantics of furniture modal symbols and also the spreading processes of furniture modal symbols on the view of information spreading. On the basic of formal researches, this paper attempts to put forward several typical design methods on the bases of semeiology, and some related design practices with applying those methods. Finally, it attempts to form an integrated system of design semeiology. This paper attributes to the applied basal study on the creative theories and methods in furniture design. Following are the innovation parts of this research:1. Inducting the semeiology into the study of furniture designs; to make the aesthetic creation activities based on the forms of sculpt elements grow into the semeiology design activities based on the cognitive science; to make the furniture design from the aesthetic inspiration trends to scientific creations under the instruction of semeiology.2. Setting up a link between the semeiology in design and the furniture modal design, that is to study the modal elements of furniture design (modality, color, material) as the inscape of symbols of furniture design. Under the direction of semeiology, detailed analyses the special semantics of furniture design symbols. At the same time, making rise to the semantic creation of modality elements from the formal creation based on the semeiology, to realize the combination between the theory of design semeiology and the practice of furniture design.3. Through the study of related theories about semeiology, to classify the vision symbols in design into three types as: image symbol, direction symbol, symbolic symbol according to the relations between signifier and signified of symbols. On this way, to make a classified analysis to the modality symbols of furniture.4. On the view of semeiology composing, this paper classifies the semantic of furniture modality symbols into functional semantics, directional semantics, symbolic semantics, aesthetic semantics, emotional semantics, and expressional semantics. It also analyses the relations between these six modality semantics of furniture. Thus, it supplies a referenced criterion for us to give further analyses on the meanings of furniture modality.5. With the analysis the relations between the process of design and spread of furniture design, this paper brings forward that the process of furniture design is a spreading process by the meanings of modality symbols. Through analogical methods, the process of furniture design is divided into the coding and decoding process of design information by the meanings of spreading. In order to form an accurate spreading process of furniture modality symbols in processing design.6. On the basis of study on semeiology of furniture modality, this paper attempts to bring forward a new design method based on the semeiology. In this way, to solve the problems of functions and meanings in the furniture design processes. Such as, the problems in the functional furniture design can be solved under the use the method of association; the problems in the emotional and cultural furniture design can be settled through the methods of metaphor and contextual.
