The Aesthetics of Design: A Model of Beauty for Designers
نویسنده
چکیده
Many would agree that Michelangelo’s David or Monet’s Water Lilies is a masterpiece of beauty, compelling casual admirers and expert critics alike to gaze in awe. This implicitly Western conception of beauty has evolved historically and culturally along the path of Classical Platonism (i.e., ideal forms), Aristotelian metaphysics (i.e., imitation), and turn-of-the-century emphases on nature and emotion (i.e., the gothic and sublime). These sources provide the lingo to describe the “beautiful”. But is it sensible for a digital product or consumer appliance to be characterized as beautiful in the same way? Should that qualification depend upon the relation between a user and the value of her interaction (i.e., experience)? Indeed, how should one articulate beauty in terms of design, supportive of academic and business aims, driving new product development as an “aesthetic imperative”?
