Automotive Styling Design Exploration Based On Sense Of Dimensional Order

Automobile styling is a design problem of aesthetics and science of integrated , but under the impact of personalized tides flowing, the automobile development shows to play besides the absolute vehicle role more and more,becomes the suitable mate of car owner as far as possible. So sometimes automobile styling is more important than function. In the face of aesthetic value of automobile styling promoting , designers require more comprehensive cognition and more rational thought to the aesthetical standard of automobile styling. In the automobile styling , spatial order searching which the paper discusses is just a rational order thought to the automobile styling feature. Based on aesthetics law of spatial order and styling genetics principle,this paper devotes to discussing the express of automobile styling in the spatial order and researching and generalizing the spatial order of BMW brand automobile styling feature,that automobile styling of BMW brand have appropriate spatial order to the future automobile development tendency can be proved and abstracted by combining context of design which future automobile styling development tendency may have or have had an affect on. In the paper, the study and the work done as follows:1.Systematically sum up in the meaning ,the principle of spatial order, and the link with the automobile stylingOrder is consecution, is unruffled condition,is the existence, movement,development,and changes of things in the law. Proceed from instinct request for order, human start to the order of arrangement for the survival space,so all kinds of style design emerge. The so-called spatial order is to sort out the relationship between the automobile styling sizes and the feature in the process of automobile design, so spatial order is also a method to interpret between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional shape of the relationship caused by the size and feature. by interpreting meaning and effect of spatial order and analysis of spatial order in automotive styling design application The paper systematically conclude aesthetics law of spatial order——the whole and equilibrium; dimension and proportion; rhythm and cadence; master—slave and major which are illustrated. It further demonstrates that spatial order is an expressive form of automobile styling feature.2.Extract automobile brand styling gene and interpret the space orderMorphological formations have the same features in both nature and design field, so we can consider design generation and evolution as an inheriting process of styling gene. From the view of information theory and space order, styling gene is the smallest information element in design information, also the smallest order particle in the styling space order. That is to say: styling gene is the most basic genetic element of concrete morphological shape expression and constrain. However, styling genes of automobile brand are those related to automobile brand in styling gene, those which is a part of styling features, those whose styling genes for describing automobile brand styling features, those whose automotive styling gene of brand engraved by peoples, and those expressing in minimal knowledge particle size which creating the features with unique imaginations. Formation of automobile brand styling gene is the emphasis on one or several styling gene in automotive styling features.This paper involves the recognition of styling features, styles and categories in BMW brand vehicles, the general principle in styling gene of automobile brand, and analysis on character line in all BMW series. Based on repeating rate of comparing character lines, we list the styling feature space order of this brand car. Also, we apply the aesthetic principle of space order to explain rationality of this order.3.Exploration on styling trend of BMW cars in the futureTo discuss the styling trend of BMW brand in the future is to discuss the evolution of automobile brand styling, which definitely involve the evolution of brand styling gene. According to the research on human creativity and design thought in cognitive science, we can undoubtedly find out that both divergent thinking and convergent thinking exist when designers are styling, but the whole automotive styling design process is usually a repeated testing pattern, which involve several alternative turns of divergence first and convergence following. Future is unpredictable, because of diversification of factors which can effect development. So the procedure of automobile brand styling feature is not a single-track procedure either, which involves automobile brand styling gene recombinant and variation. So facing the recombinant and variation of evolution, according to the design situation which is effected or may be effected by automotive styling developing trend in the future, we verify and classify the space order related to automobile brand styling features mentioned before in this paper. Furthermore, we present the space order which is suitable for BMW brand automotive styling trend in the future.Nowadays, world has come into the age of design diversification. From styling design to process design, the developing trend of diversification emerge in automobile industries all around the world. Any style and creativity is non-mainstreamed but essential."Harmonious but different"will be the keynote of automobile design styling in the future. So it is of significant meaning that cognition and grasp of automotive styling space order and homophony for defining styling styles.
