디자인문화의 사회학적 의미에 관한 연구

What we interact with things around us may mean what we share or exist together with things around us. The common ownership is referred to be not only the driving force of forming every possible shapes but also to be the living condition or the creating activity. We live together with all shaped materials, regardless of organics or inorganics. Which shape does make our life beautiful when we contact? Indeed, what is the right thing which makes our life beautiful?All people are designer. Most of actions done by people can be considered as the design which is the basis of human activities. The planning and organization of all wanted actions facing the possibly expected results are composed of designing process. Design can be considered as the conscious and intuitive endeavor which provides the meaningful order. In other word, design can be referred to be the culture (i.e., the universal living state of people) which is the mode of life expressed interacting each other. As Raymond Williams defined "Culture is the intellectual action or activity which is the general process of spiritual and esthetic development", the conceptual study on culture gazing at the side of design could be meaningful. Therefore, in this study we wish to suggest the design concept of the times by analyzing the visual formative characteristics of design culture at the side of semantics of social phenomenon.
