Description
Summary:<p>The semiotic thinking design method aims to explain the design form, the relationship</p><p>between design form and meaning, and the relationship between space and people in a</p><p>specific and systematic way. This method is more comprehensive and opens up a new</p><p>field of design method for the interior designers. The purpose of this study is to develop</p><p>an interior furnishing design method based on a semiotic thinking method through three</p><p>aspects, namely design syntactic, design semantic and design pragmatic. This method</p><p>helps in overcoming the problem of design confusion, including from lack of</p><p>continuity, lack of meaning and crisis of feature, and achieve the design effect of</p><p>design integration, design meaning and design differentiation. In order to achieve</p><p>a better design phenomenon summary and obtain design evaluation, this study used a</p><p>qualitative approach involving 33 case studies on typical interior furnishing design</p><p>case, and two semi-structured interviews (professional group and public group). As for</p><p>design syntactics, the study results showed six basic use methods (surface structure)</p><p>and three internal combination rules (deep structure) of design elements, able to deal</p><p>with the problem of lack of continuity in interior furnishing design. Next, for the</p><p>design semantics, the understanding and selective use of three design ideographic ways</p><p>can improve the problem of lack of meaning in interior furnishing design. Whereas,</p><p>for the design pragmatics, consideration of design function and design context can</p><p>improve the problem of crisis of feature. This semiotic thinking design method can</p><p>guide designers to carry out design practice through a more complete perspective. This</p><p>method can also be used as a standard and general reference for the evaluation of</p><p>interior furnishing design.</p>
