An implementation of my Master thesis which suggests an approach to extract the context of Chinese calligraphy as a spatial form exploration/creativity work. The project combined physical computing, 3D design, and Chinese calligraphy research for making use to in terms of practical design process.
Abstract
In this paper we introduce Chinese calligraphy as an inspiration to space form
exploration in design computation. The correspondence between Chinese calligraphy
art and space form design, enhancing the abstraction concepts and expressiveness lying
in Chinese calligraphy illustration, stimulates the imagination of design creativity. Thus
for computation, we firstly ascertain the illustrative trait and mechanism to human-
computer interactive process. Secondly, we computerise the symbol correspondence
between the media and space form, as the design exploration policy. We wrote a
prototype program to demonstrate the theory of this design exploration media,
representing the design interaction process and thinking approach within.
