Exploring Industrial Design with the View of Ecological Nature

Abstract:

Industrial designers generally are not following the natural ecological law,and their purpose is not to design the most satisfying products by using the least amount of raw materials and the lowest energy consumption and simultaneously prolong durability of the products. This article explores the problems which are caused during the process of industrial design with the view of ecological nature, aims at finding the measures to deal with those problems so as to coordinate the relationship among human being, products and environment during the process of industrial design eventually. From the perspective of ideology, we must rebuild the belief that man and nature are an interdependent integrity; From the perspective our practice, we must stick to the sustainable development.This is the only way to make the products benefit both human and nature and to achieve the harmonious development between human being and nature.
