Industrial Design Management and Culture Based on Conceptual Design

摘要

The relation of conceptual design and social economy is an important issue that influences the future of industrial management. Information techniques have made astonishing progress. Advanced manufacturing technology emerges in an endless stream. All these have promoted the formation of new design ideas. The environmental effect and social moral concept of design, the manufacturing place and method of product, the materials, function and usage of product, as well as abandonment and recovery of product have become the new connotative meanings of conceptual design. In this paper, the author describes the conceptual design in the 21th Century which will be changed from visible design into invisible design, from physical design into intellectual design, from the design of product into the design of service, and from the design of material object into the design of virtual product. A complete new mode of industrial design management has been proposed. It is emphasized in this paper that normal human feeling should be coexist with digitalization in the conceptual design in the times of network. An example is discussed at last.
