造形風格之辨識與描述

Style Recognition and Description

本論文包含兩個部份。第一部份乃藉形態辨識理論推測造形風格辨識的理論依據。第二部份乃描述一個設計師可藉以分析現有造形風格並可界定及描述目標市場所期望的造形風格之架構。 此架構，又名為『風格側面像』，乃由一組相反形容詞對及與其相對應之三組評量值所組成。其中，該組相反形容詞對所界定之造形風格特徵包含了六個向度：形態元件、接合關係、細部處理、材質、色彩與紋理。第一組評量值用以描述一造形風格之特徵；後兩組評量值則為加權機制：一為重要性指標另一為自信度指標，乃用以微調對該造形風格之描述。此『風格側面像』不但可用以溝通設計者與電腦之間之造形風格概念並可作為累積造形風格知識之用。

The framework, also named 'Style Profile', consists of a set of polar adjectives associated with three corresponding sets of estimated values. Within the profile, the stylistic attributes defined by the set of polar adjectives comprise six categories: form elements, joining relationships, detail treatments, materials, color treatments and textures. The first set of estimated values describes a given formal style while the rest serving as weighting mechanisms, an importance index and a confidence factor, fine-tuning the description. The 'Style Profile' can be used not only to communicate formal styles between designers and computers but also to accumulate formal style knowledge. This paper covers two parts. The first part speculates some supporting theories for formal style recognition by reviewing some well-established form recognition theories. The second part describes in detail a framework for both analyzing existing formal styles and prescribing expected formal styles for target markets.
