Research On Integrated Home Design Based On “Without Thought” Method

Since the concept of “human-oriented” design has been greatly admired nowadays,users experience,potential demands and emotional needs have attracted more and more attention.Design only to uses technology and art to solve problems,but also analyzes users' behavior and the hidden needs behind the behavior from a moderate and moderate perspective.By following users' behavior track and pattern,designing can smoothly integrate into their behavior.Designers should reduce users' burden when they use the products by relevant methods,rather than try to change users' habitual actions and lifestyles in order to create better experience for them.According to Freud's iceberg theory,the unconscious status which is hidden deeply in human's psychological structure can not be realized in most cases.However,it can dominate human's behavior.Therefore,“Without thought” is studying the unconscious behavior under the guidance of unconscious mind and turning it into visible objects.It provides a new way of studying integrated home design.Under the background of characteristics and trends of the development of integrated home design market,combined with psychology and behavior,“Without thought” captures users' unconscious behavior which can not be found easily in the integrated home design environment and transforms them so as to promote the harmonious relationship between people and people,people and objects and people and home environment.Based on a large number of case studies,the paper analyzes four kinds of methods of “Without thought” from the perspective of unconsciousness and information exchange: affordance,unconscious grafting,subjective perceptual substitution and strengthening of individual concept.The integrated kitchen is used as the main research object.Through participant observation,users' unconscious behavior in the kitchen has been observed and collected.Based on the research and observation,considering users' journey map,the paper makes qualitative analysis of unconscious behaviors from the four perspectives of causes,situations,demands and emotional appeal.With the help of KANO model,the paper prioritizes the needs which are caused by unconscious behaviors and then identifies which can meet users' real needs.The designing process mainly involves six aspects: confirming designing goals,collecting behavioral prototypes,analyzing behavioral meaning,matching designing methods,producing designing prototypes and evaluating designing schemes.After researching and analyzing the integrated home design market,the paper fully takes the current market situation and design performance into consideration,and provides design ideas for the study.Using “Without Thought” methods,the paper completes two designing schemes of the L kitchen and the island kitchen which include cupboards,handles,seasoning bottles,water tanks,lighting,tiles and other components of the overall kitchen design so that the “human-oriented” designing concept has been reflected in the overall home designing and the humanistic care brought by the design has been strengthened.
