This research, we will begin our analysis of the types of research example of designers by the linguistic studies of products form. Specially, we had a mind to generate the linguistic concept of products form by the linguistic relations between tools and thinking, and analysed how activate the roles of form language in linguistic and non-linguistic areas. We understood the relations of design process about idea generation, same means of interpretation of form and the generation of form concept, by using of the roles of form language made in design process. We showed the research examples of Enzo Mari and the origins of form language in view point of design history. Also, we classified the form linguistic concerns of designers and scholars interested in design areas by dividing various factors in view point of language. Finally, through the process of this classification, the researches of form language call for further study, as more the examples of detailed design practises and the individualized form language of products than systematic researches and abstract theories about products, and emphasized this viewpoint, we suggest a going-on research theme, the individualized products' differences of form language and concerns viewpoint of inter-culture, the concept generation of form language of products can be inter-coexistent.

Frank O. Gehry is hewn to be an architect whose design 1anguage is so arbitrary and so unexpectedly changing that it seems to be almost impossible to trace any common language or my coherence over his entire career and works. To provide a counter-argument to this conception, this study explores the transformation pattern of the design language commanded by Gehry through his works. To pursue this study, Gehry's career was divided into four periods according to the design characteristics, and thorough analysis was conducted on the transformation pattern of the language both synchronically and diachronically. Based on the analysis, it was found that Gehry had been always trying to metaphorically embody the synchronic context of any given Period into his works, and the vehicles of this embodiment were materiality and morphology. Finally the argument of this study is that the changing process of Gehry's design language is not any "revolutionary change," as it was known to be, but 〃evolutionary transformation. "on."

This study deals with the occurrence and application of 'Fun' as a linguistic function through form-giving. As a linguistic function, Fun could be defined, in a broad sense, as an emotion of desire when in relation to artifacts, and, in a narrow sense, as a physical or mental response when a person discovers unexpected information or artifacts. Hence, the occurrence of 'Fun' could be an analogy of a removal of a 'mental block' from using (or perceiving) artifacts. As an aspect of cognitive psychology, the context of form-giving, which has meanings in both artifact and design activity, will deal with an important factor of form-giving. From that, the elements of the context and the transformation of the elements are suggestive of 'Fun-oriented form-giving'. Hence, this study will show how to deal with that elements, what is required condition on it, 'Fun' in form-giving, and the Mechanism of Occurrence of 'FUN' based on this study, will be expected to apply them for product-concept effectively and Form-Giving fashionably.

본 연구의 목적은 전통적 조형요소의 이해를 통하여 한국적 조형의 특성을 파악하고 효율적으로 디자인에 적용시킴으로써 차별화 된 제품개발을 하는데 있어 조형언어의 창출을 모색하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 전통도구들의 물적 특성을 통하여 우리의 환경과 삶의 태도에서 베어난 우리 고유의 도구에 대한 사고와 조형방법등에 대한 특질과 가치를 발견하고, 이를 바탕으로 우리만의 차별화된 디자인의 가능성과 방향성을 찾아보고자 하였다. 연구범위는 조선시대 일반서민들의 생활에서 사용되었던 도구를 그 대상으로 하였으며 전통제품들의 예시를 통하여 한국적인 조형성의 특징을 파악하였는데 이는 비교적 자료수집 등 연구가 용이하기 때문이다. 연구방법은 국내에서 출간된 관련서적과 사진 자료 및 그 동안 연구되어 왔던 각종 연구보고서, 각 대학의 디자인 관련학과에서 진행되어 온 컨셉츄얼 디자인(본 연구에서 설정된 조형적 적용방법과 같은 내용으로 디자인작업을 수행해온)을 토대로 하였다.

In various cultures and civilizations, artists are trying new ideas of reinterpreting the beauty of classic and redefining it in the ways of modern times rather than creating something new. In other words, modern cultural trend is creating a new culture by combining sensibilities of classic amid the flood of information with modern senses of artists. This study tries to combine various cultures an designs in accordance with this cultural change. Based on the features of expressing emotions of individuals and the world of impossible experiences from the short story 'When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom' of Lee Hyoseok, an incomplete area of consciousness which is at the border line of the polarized world divided by existence and absence is the area which creates a new culture by arousing readers' imagination as a potential world of thought. In addition, based on language from the short story, a researcher tries to utilize symbolic and imaginal beauties inside of that language as a material of design, and formative analysis them with the composition of proper words for visualization.

Appreciating gardens in garden show has its meaning in appreciating concepts and ideas of artists, hidden inside of garden, as formative arts, as well as the beauty of the nature. This study is aimed to understand the intension of artists in visual expression through formative media in the gardens by assessing structure of visual narrative in the space with 20 artworks among the ones presented in 2018 Taehwagang Garden Show. The formative structure is delivered as contents and forms through formative media and formative language. Thus, for analysis on the artworks, the researcher assessed expressive characteristics of the media, through visual and space language, that forms the formative structure in the contest of narrative structure expressed in the gardens and findings of the analysis are as follows. First, for intertextuality obtained through media image, most of the artworks delivered message through 'figure image.' This means, the concept is delivered as 'affinity of actual objects' through the media and associated 'meaning and meaning action' are expected. Second, the characteristics of signs to show symbolism in the gardens were categorized into 'icon'. 'index' and 'symbol'. The results showed that most of the artworks expressed common characteristics between image and meaning, using 'icon' and 'symbol'. Third, as space formation components, based on formative principles, the components of 'dominant' and 'subordinate' roles were defined as the key components for meaning delivery. Also, it was understood that 'space configuration with overlapped image' and 'space configuration with transparency' were adopted to strengthen conceptional layers. Forth, for space occupation types, there were mostly central hall type, corridor type and passage space type and for open space type, the entire space area was conceptualized, instead of certain object. The circulation line was defined in the frequency order of circular type, pass type and return type. The study on the expressive characteristics of visual narrative in garden design is meaningful as it could build base data for the method of spatial design for visual development of concepts in the future.

Recently there have been various research activities regarding Korean traditional aesthetics. However, those researches were mainly conducted individually, partially, and periodically, which resulted in unsystematic and incomprehensive works. Therefore, it is required to orginze all the precedent research works with more systematic and objective framework. Generally speaking, all the human activities including aesthetic activity have ends, procedure and means. In other words, human being needs three key elements for realizing any thought and those three elements include contents, formal, and practical element. Element of contents is ultimate goal to accomplish as value, concept, and meaning of thought with their aims. Formal element includes methods, principles, norms, procedure, formality and style comprising of thought in order to accomplish the goal. Finally, practical element refers to specific means, tool, media, material and techniques to concretize the contents through form. Almost all of thoughts and meaning which human being tries to express consist of language. Major elements in sentence include 'subject (omissible)' , 'objects (aim)', 'predicate (formality)', 'complement (means)' and they are composed systematically and hierarchically with rules in sentence. The study compared human activity model with language structure and analyzed their implication with design (aesthetics), which made it possible to propose analytic frameworks for traditional aesthetics. In addition, the study also systematically organized the way to realize traditional aesthetic value in the present context based on the methods developed in this study.

현대에 들어와 몸에 대한 담론은 여러 분야의 학문에서 관심의 대상으로 연구되고 있으며, 몸은 하나의 기호로서, 시각적 언어로서, 사회적 변화의 소재지로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 인체의 시각적 재현에 대한 관심은 여성의 누드와 섹슈얼리티의 재현으로 페미니스트들에 의해 확산되었다. 페미니스트 학자들은 과거 역사책 속에서 침묵 당했던 여성들의 경험을 회복하고 서양 문화에서 여성의 위치를 재정립하려는 노력을 기울였다. (중략)
