經典設計的當代評量：包浩斯百年風華的省思

The Evaluation of the Classic Design in Contemporary Perspective: Reflection on Bauhaus Hundred years of Prosperity

包浩斯，以手工技藝結合工業技術，追求「理性」的設計思維，為現代設計指引一個新方向；帶動世界現代設計運動，造就二十世紀設計現代化的風貌。百年前包浩斯為現代產品設計所提出來的三個主張：「機能主義」的設計思想、「忠於材料」的設計堅持與「少即是多」的設計哲理，其主張改變當代設計思維，當時設計的產品仍被視為一代經典。如今，雖然設計能量隨著科技進步蓬勃發展，設計風格亦隨著藝術文化思潮的演變而不斷推陳出新，本研究主要目的在檢視這三個主張與經典設計的當代評量。因此，本研究提出一個以包浩斯產品設計的三個主張所建構的評量架構與準則，並選擇了13件分別來自包浩斯的經典設計，以及當時其他風格的產品作為研究案例；透過問卷調查與分析，評估當時產品設計的概念與理論，瞭解大眾對經典產品的態度。結果顯示，包浩斯的經典設計的延續，確實存在於當代設計之中；並進一步探討包浩斯的三個設計主張與當代設計思維的交融。

Bauhaus has been guiding the new direction for modern design and driving the world's modern design movement by its concept that combines craftsmanship with industry and pursues ＂rational＂ in design thinking in the 20th century. A hundred years ago, Bauhaus proposed three ideas for the Modern Design which are Functionalism, Loyalty to Materials, and Less is More. This three claims have been changing the contemporary design thinking since then, and even nowadays those products are still considered a generation of classics. Although the design concepts have been frequently developed along with the rapid advancement of science and technology, the design styles have been constantly updated with the evolution of culture and arts. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the three Bauhaus claims and the classic designed products in a contemporary perspective. This study proposes an evaluative framework and criterion designed from the three Bauhaus claims. All 13 samples were chosen from not only Bauhaus classic design, but also other styles of classic products. The methodologies are used through the questionnaire survey and analysis in order to evaluate the concept and the theory of product design at that period and furthermore, to understand the public attitude and point of view in classic products. The results show that the continual influence of the Bauhaus classic design does exist in the contemporary design. Upon the research result, an in-depth discussion could be considered in the convergence of Bauhaus three claims and contemporary design thinking.
