전유미 Chon Yumi
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to unveil the correlation between sustainable, emotional, and participatory design so that it can establish a design methodology for building a long-term relationship between users and products. In order to accomplish the mission, the advancing process where the sustainable design research gradually finds a link to users` emotion has been carefully traced and a theoretical study has been made to draw a conclusion of the interrelation among design concepts. As a result, it found out that there has been serious consideration about how to induce consumers to form an emotional bond with products so as to control consumption and disposal. When it comes to extended relationship between two sides, the most important factors are attachment and involvement. The emotional design significantly takes users` emotion into account and focuses on developing an emotional connection as in sustainable design. In addition, both the emotional design and the participatory design have a common ground in terms of that they guide users to have sentimental reaction towards products by providing experiences. Active participation which is required in participatory design means responsibility for products and the base of attachment forming. It consequently proves that all those participatory, emotional, and sustainable design have a cohesive relationship. The specific cases within the textile deign field have been collected and they have been analyzed and classified into three categories; inducing completion of products, using variability of products, and pursuing ideal aging of products. It was certain that the each example offered the experiences of attachment and involvement and kept leading users into the sustainable consumption of products through a strategy which made the design a storyteller.
