A Study on the Development and Compatibility of Decorative Art Tile based on 3D Unit Pattern System

This study developed basic units such as cells and units based on the FDP design methodology with the product scalability of flexible design patterns (FDP) that simultaneously evoke images of order and change in mind, and verified the compatibility of design by combining cells of different shapes. The cells developed for verification are largely divided into straight lines and curves, lines and area shapes, and the colors are black, white, and yellow tricolors, which are combined with the same color, similar color, and contrast color. Combination methods were divided into isomorphism, similarity, and heteromorphic, and examined in connection with color. The deployment method was performed by comparing the regular deployment (configuration) of cells and units with the irregular deployment (configuration). As a result, most of the combinations of cells with different shapes were found to have visual effects of order, change, and unity. Above all, it was confirmed that the combination of shapes has a strong characteristic of inducing unity and harmony, and the contrast between black and white has a side that triggers a change.On the other hand, the visual effect of FDP is possible because of the division method based on golden division, the enhancement of connectivity using diagonal and connection pointer, and the symmetric manipulation. This formative technique is expected to be used as educational contents for experiential learning of basic molding in connection with 3D printing technology.
