隨著文創產業的發展,人們對於與過去生活相關的「老文化」也逐漸感到興趣,希望藉由過去歷史重溫與探索,將過去生活文化感覺重新帶到現代生活當中,也就成為目前許多研究人員與工作者所進行的工作,本研究以鐵窗花發源地台南為主要調查對象,進行相關資料調查與蒐集,探討鐵窗花型態組成與歷史文化。同時也從樣式、組成、工法、文化等方面進行相關分析討論,以瞭解鐵窗花對於過去生活文化上的意義。在解析鐵窗花內容意涵之後,本研究透過鐵窗花的「形」與「意」進行相關設計,將鐵窗花進行新的圖紋設計與組合編排,創造出帶有各自獨特文化意涵的鐵窗花圖紋。在設計方向上以「家」作為設計主軸,本研究以生活居家作為設計方向,透過設計的方式,設計相關產品,讓鐵窗花重回到生活當中,將過去只存在窗外的鐵窗花延伸到室內,並將鐵窗花所代表的美學文化延續下來。
With the development of the cultural and creative industry, people are gradually becoming interested in the "old culture" related to the past life.

At the same time, it also conducts relevant analysis and discussion from the aspects of style, composition, construction method and culture to understand the significance of iron window flower in the past life culture. After analyzing the contents of the iron window flower, this study is related to the designed of "form" and "meaning" of the iron window flower, and made the new pattern design and combination arrangement of the iron window flower to create an iron window pattern with their own unique cultural meanings. In the design direction, "home" is the main axis of design. This study takes the life and home as the design direction, through the design mode, we design related products, let the iron window flower return to life, and extend the iron window flower that only exists outside the window to the interior, and continue the aesthetic culture represented by the iron window flower.
