Research of Regional Design Based On The Invention and Innovative Design Of The Yellow River Waterwheel's Traditional Characteristics

Abstract

Traditional instruments have distinct regional characteristics, most of which are environment-friendly items.On the basis of imitation, this paper explores the application of modern technology, design ideas and methods to the re-evolutionary design research of the regional adaptation mechanism of traditional objects is an important subject of regional design. Taking the traditional Lanzhou Yellow River waterwheels as an example, this paper makes a brief analysis of the structure, function, historical evolution and imitation characteristics of the traditional waterwheels, on the basis of which, the modern design method is used. In this paper, a series of design proposals for the structural evolution of the Yellow River waterweels are put forward. These proposals are of great reference value for the study of regional design methods combined with the revitalization of traditional culture and ecological construction. Keywords—regional design; the Yellow River waterwheels; the ecological design I. IMITATION DEFORMATION®IONAL DESIGN Imitation, deformation and composition are the basic thinking mode of the plastic arts. Simulation is related to the selection of the design theme and decides design conception. Deformation and composition absolutely decide how to design, which determines the feasibility of the design. Such as the Beijing Olympic Sports Center bird's nest, its the imitation of the form of original nest. Designers’selecting nest form as symbols of the sports center is the most critical step of the creativity. How to combine the function & structure of the Olympic Stadium with nest form perfectly, is the key process of change and composition. So imitation is one of the learned methods of the human, and its provides luxuriant ideas and resources. [1] Along with the culture and the accelerated development of tourism industry, modern design, based on the regional traditional culture, meets a better opportunity. An important direction of regional design is to extract symbol mode and function model which belong to traditional culture, and use them into modern design in order to meet local people's psychological identities, while creating a different aesthetic psychology.[2] With the Yellow River running through, northwest culture city lanzhou, also has many characteristic region culture symbols. The most typical representative are a sheepskin raft and Yellow River waterwheel. The Yellow River waterwheel is also the most celebrated regional symbolic items, but it did not originate from lanzhou. With the imitation and improvement of other similar irrigation facilities, it was gradually improved perfectly. II. THE REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WATERWHEEL &
