Fifteenth International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Abstract

Researchers in the field of design and creative arts have agreed that the designers inspired from surrounding when doing their designs work, but so far, the boundaries are not entirely clear between inspiration and copying. Therefore, this study aims to clarify the foundation that the designer should consider during, the inspiration, to avoid copying, through the use of biomechanics in the analysis of the human category and how humans are similar and different at the same time. Of course, twins have similarities, other than that, humans are different and, we can distinguish one from the other. The study was based on the descriptive and analytical approach through the description and analysis of the human body (formal) to find the constants and variables factors. The results of the study can help interior designers or those in similar fields with identifying the constants and variables that they should consider during inspiration and determining limitations. This will aid with avoiding coping, which would be considered plagiarism.
