Summary:碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 設計學研究所碩士班 === 100 === Bionics generally applies to engineering, industrial and product design, but rarely used in fashion design which inspires the direction of this thesis. The definition of bionics, roughly divided into two: Bionics and Biomimicry, both have a common goal but slightly different. The contributions from nature prompts this study to implement biomimicry on fashion design and explores the attractiveand refreshing clothing which, in fact, is to imitate from nature and biological observation. By observing and learning from nature does not only allow humans to take advantage from nature to stimulate creative thinking, but this study also proposes an instructional design model of creative design with bio-inspiration thoroughly from the concept of biomimicry in fashion design courses. It contains two main frameworks: 1.How the biological characteristics applies to fashion design: This study is going to present a " biomimicry elements of fashion design” by the application of phenomenography and the bionic clothing design to emulate biomimicry elements, find similar biological characteristics, and use them as students design applications. 2.How the nature of the animal mechanisms is used in fashion design: This study is going to propose an instructional design of creative design with bio-inspiration. Based on the discovery of framework 1, the “biomimicry elements of fashion design” as the corresponding database, examines the fashion works either intention or coincidence. By the bricolage method summarizes the appearance and functionality of these clothing and then corresponds the mechanism of biomimicry from the defined species impressing on teaching. Moreover, by the hybridity and the third space theory analyzes the transformation of cultures. This attempt leads fashion design students in Taiwan to emphasis on the natural environment, the cross-cultural understanding, and more significantly be able to assist designers with creative thinking.
