abstract
Background The design that began with the Industrial Revolution has developed by connecting technological innovation with human beings. It is said that the 4th Industrial Revolution will have a great impact on the future society, and there are many discussions about the role of industrial design. Therefore, it is very important to find the meaning of design and redefine the role of design as a mediator between technology and human beings. Methods This study examined the theory of technology, human, and design change process through literature, and grasped the connection relationship between them. Based on this, the research proposed a design role model for each stage of change and applied design examples to the model, explaining the expansion and evolution of industrial design roles. Result Through the analysis of the case, it was found that the perspective and object of design expanded as the technology and human needs stages advanced to the higher stages. The role of design has evolved from focusing on aesthetic creations and usability to pursuing new meanings and experiences, and furthermore as the meaning of technology evolves and higher human needs to be fulfilled, it can be seen that design evolves in the direction of creating a new typology. Conclusion The meaning of this study is to provide a new model through technology-design-human multidimensional approach and analysis, and to explore the relationship between them and the direction of industrial design through case analysis. Through the research, it can be seen that the higher the level, the less the product occupies the initial market, but design leads to radical innovation, increasing influence on society and human beings, and expanding meaning of design. If quantitative research is complemented by continuous exploration and study on the role and direction of design, it is expected that it will provide new insights into the future role of industrial design.
