Description/Abstract

The D.A.R. Object discusses a method, which to redesign a selected object through Disassembling - Analyzing - Reconstructing, 3 main process. When the method of "D.A.R." is adopted, the inherent form logic of an object will still be kept. Because designing like this way will make challenge to the original object ideologically. This challenge is embodied in the dramatic conflict between the process, which has a strong relationship with the object's inherent logic, and the result, which will blur the original reality of the object.

And my method of "D.A.R." initially comes from my study of structuralism and deconstruction. More precisely, this method is adopted on redesign an object. I propose to organize the design logic according to structuralism principles (the structuralized system), while analysizing and recreating the object using the principles of deconstruction. This will be followed by reconstruction with the inherent logic/attribute of the object itself.
