Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a systematic design method that can harmonize the images of order and change, which can be considered as the visual characteristics of the Flexible Design Pattern(FDP). The research reviewed previous studies by grouping them according to their types and presented a design template that can harmonize visual impressions. As a result, the designmethod of FDP is summarized in threeways, startingwith the square division based onmodular and Fibonacci grid, creating order and change through the presence of symmetry manipulation in the shape design and development process, drawing visual effects while maintaining the convenience of a single unit by dividing the square into isomorphism and dimorphism, and creating unexpected intermediate forms through the overlap of large and small units. The design method that can harmonize the visual impressions of these patterns revolves around design aspects and development methods. In other words, design factors include division methods, shape design, cell combinations(cell overlap), and unit composition, while development methods include regular and irregular unit development using symmetry, among other factors that influence visual effects. The variations in impressions generated by these factors were symbolically indicated, and ultimately, a design template consisting of four adjustment directions and four combination methods was provided to facilitate the expression of the images of order and change. Furthermore, this study not only establishes a theoretical foundation for productization but also provides practical tools for design,which is expected to be useful not only for further research but also for design education.
