A Design Method For Developing Columbariums That Supports Customization

The lack of personalization of traditional columbariums is caused by compulsory consumption and the discrepancy between quality and price.With the national call for green burial and the increasing personalized demand of people,traditional run can no longer meet the policy and public demand.To address this problem,a method to develop columbariums that support customization is proposed.By reading literature and books to collect and organize the funeral process,the funeral culture in the funeral process is deconstructed hierarchically into five categories:Confucianism,Taoism,Buddhism,Christianity,and Catholicism,and its funeral culture genealogy chart is obtained.The representative design examples of different religious funeral cultures were added to the genealogy chart,and the four design elements of color,material,shape and pattern in the design examples were extracted from the perspective of the semiotics of design in the language construction.According to the interaction process of the autonomous design software in the customized mode and the extracted design elements,the knowledge base of funeral culture bone container design elements was constructed in Protege software by applying the seven-step method and using ontology knowledge expression.Based on the hierarchical and associative characteristics of the ontology knowledge base of the bone container design elements,the interaction flow of the software was designed from the perspective of user experience,analyzing the positioning of functional specifications and information content of the software,and analyzing in detail the five elements of interaction design under user experience:person,action,purpose,environment,and tool.Facing this interaction flow,the user experience questionnaire is used to get the user’s usage requirements,and the detailed design of the software interface is completed by combining with the mobile interface design principles.According to the ontology knowledge base of bone container design elements and the interaction flow of the independent design of bone container,the functional composition of the independent design software was clarified and realized by using UE4 and 3Dmax,meanwhile,in order to facilitate the improvement of the subsequent knowledge base and the modification of the software,an ontology construction management and automatic acquisition of ontology data for engineering applications were adopted to realize the two-way modification of the software and the knowledge base;the The design practice of the autonomous design software of the bone ash container shows that the basic functions of the software can be satisfied;the usability test and satisfaction test of the autonomous design software of the bone ash container are conducted.The test results showed that the success rate of each task was 100%and the help-seeking rate was low,which indicated that the software met the usability requirements.For the satisfaction test,a post-task questionnaire was used to test the users’ subjective satisfaction.Four satisfaction questions were designed according to the Likert scale,and the test results showed that the users were more satisfied with the software.The two tests indicate to some extent the feasibility of this method of supporting customization in the development of the skeletal container obtained from the study.In summary,the study proposes a development method of a bone container that supports customization,which provides a feasible new direction for the transformation and development of traditional columbariums and is a useful attempt to personalize columbariums.
