摘要

隨著產品設計市場日趨飽和，設計教育界不斷地另尋出路，批判性的設計思維也逐漸受到關注。若回顧設計史的發展，從不同年代的設計思潮中，都可以在其中的一部份作品上觀察到批判性思維的蹤跡。這些作品在在表現了超出原來市場框架的價值，不斷地重新定義設計，給予設計圈新的意義與願景。本研究試圖以此為借鏡，將批判性的設計思維模式帶入產品設計開發的流程之中。本研究所提出的創作方法，是經由設計概念之完整建構後，結合物品經驗再造的觀念，透過措置／換位、分割／重組、融合等手法的串連應用，組合現成物與後設計物而形成最終的設計產出。在設計概念的建構上則要確立以下要點：設計的使命、虛構情境的描述、脈絡上的模糊性。過程中具體陳述此模式的建構理論、執行方式與執行成果：首先，透過文獻探討釐清批判性思維在設計實務之脈絡，整理相關理論與分法，並提出產品互動歷程與案例分析系統；其次，以此分析系統為基礎，對於現有設計案例進行分析，探討案例如何轉化與詮釋現成物，再歸納統整批判性設計思維於設計實務應用上的思考要點，並推衍出本研究之創作方法。最後，藉由三件設計創作的執行來驗證其應用性。本創作研究結果於實踐大學國際設計學術與創作研討會上發表，並透過問卷訪談的方式作為本創作的成果評估。最後將訪談結果、創作過程的不足與對於後續研究方向的建議進行歸結論述。希望本研究成果能為當代工業設計思維注入新能量，並提供給後續研究者與設計師作為參考。

As the market of product design gradually becoming saturated, the design education society is constantly looking for another way out, and critical design thinking is gaining more and more attention. If we review the development of design history, we could find traces of critical thinking on some of the design works from design trends in different eras. These design works were showing the values beyond the framework of product market, while redefining the design terms again and again, providing new visions to the design society. This study attempts to bring critical design thinking into the process of product design development. The aim of this study is to present the idea with a more engaging design methodology. This methodology model is based on a complete concept construction, combined with the idea of experience rebuilding, and to complete the final designs with the combination of ready-mades and post-design parts through methods of Context Transfer, Cut-up and Hybridity. The construction of design concepts must include the goal of design, the description of fictional context and the contextual ambiguity. This study elaborates the constructed theories, the execution methods and the result of design practices: First, introducing relevant theories, proposing the process of product design interaction in a framework, and then constructing an analysis structure for case study; Second, running through case study and use the analysis result to come up with a complete design method. Third, verifying the applicability of this method with the design practice over three cases. The result of this design study was presented on the 2017 International Design Conference College of Design, Shih Chien University, and evaluated through questionnaire interview. In the end, the content of the interview, together with personal suggestion were summed up as reference provided for follow-up researchers and designers.
