Thirteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

This study explores the mechanism of cultural representation in design realms in order to provide new methods and ideas for regional cultural construction and cultural innovation designs. It deepens the understanding of the relationship between cultural representation and technology application and the essence of design by case analysis method. The most significant aspect of the process of the cultural representation is to propose the meaning, which is the process of interpretation and also the process of clarifying and returning the culture perspective. It is more difficult to represent culture by technology application. In addition, the approach of cultural representation by symbol could mark a culture, and play the role of identification, but it is difficult to understand the culture through symbolic cultural representation.
