지속가능성을 모티브로 한 지속적 트랜스포머디자인에 대한 연구- 변신을 주제로 한 디자인 활용사례를 중심으로 -

In modern-day society, it is not possible to improve satisfaction of the public only with one utility due to the diversified needs of the public. For this reason, this study aims to propose the survival future of design by denominating transformer design based on a motif of transformer robots as “ST Design (Sustainable Transformer Design)”. As a result of analyzing the concept using the hypothesis with the case, the ST design can be arranged in four ways: manual way and automatic way, idea way, Eco-friendly way. This includes not only changes in appearance design but also performance improvements. Moreover, at the stage of design, the product is designed in consideration of recycling and easy repair, giving meaning of environment-friendly life extension. The importance of design becomes bigger when economic recession prolongs and the needs of design wishing new demands become stronger. With this in mind, Sustainable Transformer Design (ST Design) model was studied by making in-depth approach to concept of transformation and environment-friendly sustainability and analyzing the current state. The fusion of transforming mechanism of ST Design and environment-friendly mechanism can contribute to restricting vicious cycle of overproduction and overconsumption caused by marketing strategy, regardless of intention of consumers. This can serve to be an alternative to proposal of survival future of design, by extending life of design, developing in an easy way and protecting rights of consumers.
