지속가능한 디자인과 바이오팩처에 대한 탐색

This study aimed to discuss how the design thinking that pursues sustainability will change in the future through the exploration on the newly emerged biofacture. In order to achieve this, the concept of sustainable design which has been growing and expanding was outlined and biomimetics was considered as a field of integration with design sector. And the central principles and differentiating characteristics of biofacturing method as an advanced production approach to biomimicry design were tried to grasp. In conjunction with these theoretical studies, case study on selected examples was conducted to go deep into biofacturing area. Ultimately new factors to be considered in future sustainable designs in order to finally leverage biofacture were deduced as follows. To effectively accommodate and combine biomimetics in the field of design, firstly, it is necessary to acquire basic knowledge about the field of biology and to exchange between subjects. Secondly, among the various methods of creating materials in the ecosystem, the design of the product should be carried out accordingly, so the flow of design planning should be reorganized. Thirdly, rather than focusing on the implementation of the intended product, the design behavior should be transformed into an activity of observing and coordinating in cooperation with nature. Fourthly, an evaluation of the ecological efficiency of design is prepared to comply with the flow of ecological nutrients in the entire design and manufacturing process. Finally, storytelling and message should be included in the product’s design plan to elicit a positive response from consumers to the unique aesthetics of products manufactured in a biofactual manner. As above, this study aimed to quickly detect the flow of cooperation between biology and design in order to achieve sustainability and introduce a new manufacturing method called biofacture with overseas examples. And by inferring the resulting changes or expansion factors of design thinking, the direction for sustainable design in the future was presumed. Based on this study it is expected that design experiments, projects, and follow-up research on biofacture will be actively carried out.
