基于扎根理论-结构建模的民国金属家具设计阶层特征

【目的】克服民国金属家具研究中缺乏相关资料和科学方法的瓶颈,分析其设计风格与阶层特征。【方法】从民国影像资料入手挖掘相关信息,并构建适合此次研究的“扎根理论-结构建模”新方法。【结果】将民国金属家具设计的阶层特征问题分解成经济-规格、文化-艺术、观念-功能和工业-趋近性4个子系统,分别得出各子系统的环境背景、产品需求和设计供给的阶层差异性及趋近性,形成扎根理论的一级编码。从这些分析结果中抽取描述民国金属家具设计阶层特征的相关变量,依次构建其变量体系、初始结构模型和邻接矩阵,形成扎根理论的二级编码。运用基于邻接矩阵的结构建模方法,建立具有有序分级关系的规范结构模型,形成扎根理论的三级编码。【结论】民国金属家具设计的阶层差异性、趋近性、根源和动因的作用机理对当代家具设计有一定启示。

Stratums characteristics of metal furniture design in the Republic of China by a synthetic method of grounded theory and structural modeling

Objective]The bottleneck of a lack of relevant messages and scientific methods for investigating metal furniture dcsign in the Republic of China (MFDRC) was ovcrcome to analyze the style and stratum characteristics of metal furniture design in MFDRC.Method] Some useful information was mined from the films of MFDRC,and a synthetic method of the grounded theory (GT) along with structural modeling was created for the study.Result] The results of a three-level GT coding by employing this method were obtained as follows.First,the MFDRC problem was divided into four subsystems-economic specifications,culture-art,ideological-functions,and industry-proximity.The stratum differences and proximities of the four subsystems were investigated,based on the environmental background,product demand,and design supply,to form the primary GT coding.Secondly,some variables describing the stratum characteristics of MFDRC were abstracted from the above analysis results to establish a system of variables,initial structural model,and adjacent matrix successively,to form the secondary GT coding.Finally,an ordered normative hierarchical structural model was built by using a structural modeling method based on the adjacent matrix to form the tertiary GT coding.Conclusion] The functioning mechanisms of the stratums' differences and proximities,and their backgrounds were obtained according to the model,which gave some beneficial insights into contemporary furniture design.
