傳統燈籠是在地文化表徵，富有濃郁的鄉土性與親和力，為代表性的文化產業之一。隨著社會經濟的演進，生活品質與品味的提升，燈籠在材質應用、造形形式與圖像視覺上較為傳統古典，故以燈籠文化傳統美感要素為作品基石，重新轉化與定義，擬定設計圖像元素，並以生活居家照明的裝飾燈籠為主要創作目標，注入新時代的意象與語意，與市場上現代燈籠產品加以區隔，促使燈籠逐漸成為生活照明空間可以考量選擇的燈飾之一。

仿生學（Bionics）的概念是來自於仿效大自然中的生命形態與活動，並針對各種生物系統的優異功能進行相關研究。而仿生設計（Bionics Design）則是應用這些特徵原理，開拓各項領域設計、融合與創新，將成果反映於人們生活中。仿生設計的思維提供了設計者更多層面思考與啟發，依循方法建立設計基模，如：形態仿生—具象、抽象、意象等設計方法，運用於傳統燈籠的造形形式與圖像意涵轉化，賦予作品新樣態。

本研究以直觀與主觀的認知，將大自然仿生對象的造形特徵，引用至燈籠創作上，創造出具豐富意義的現代燈籠作品。依循仿生思維，重新思考文化意涵與人的關係，以仿生設計為啟發靈感，植物為仿生對象，擷取特徵重構造形，並將文化圖像元素加以轉化，提煉出新的應用元素。用心態度與堅持，保存傳統文化脈絡，重新思考時代性的生活型態趨勢與定位，透過創意、轉化、創新，促使與現代生活可以相融，提供傳統燈籠在創新方法上其他的可能性。

Traditional lantern is a symbol of local culture, and has rich local color and affinity; therefore, it is one of the representative cultural industries. With the evolution of economy and society, as well as the enhancement of life quality and taste, since the material application, art form, and visual image of lantern is traditional and classical, this study took the traditional aesthetic elements of lantern culture as the cornerstone of the works, through transformation and re-definition to formulate the elements of design images, and took the decorative lanterns of home lighting as the main objective of creation, integrated into the new era image and semantics, and separated from the market of modern lantern products, making lanterns gradually become one of the applicable choices of the living space lighting.

The concept of Bionics is based on the imitation of life form and activity in nature and the research related to the excellent functions of various biological systems. Design Bionics is using these features and principles to develop the design, integration and innovation in each field, and reflecting the results in people’s lives. The idea of bionic design provides a designer more thinking and inspiration to follow the method and establish the design archetypes. For example, Nature Form Bionics –using the figurative, abstractive, imagery and other design approaches in the transformation of the shape, form and image meaning of traditional lantern to give the work a new like state.

This study, in an intuitive and subjective cognition, adopted the shape feature of the bionic objects in nature to create the modern lantern works with rich meanings. According to the concept of bionics, this study had reconsidered the cultural implications and human relations and used plants as the bionic objects on the basis of the inspired ideas of bionic design, and had extracted the features and reconstructed the shapes and transformed the elements of the cultural images to refine the new application elements. The researcher, with a positive attitude and persistence, engages in the preservation of traditional cultural context and reconsideration of the lifestyle trend and orientation of the times. Through creation, transformation and innovation, which can make it integrated into modern life and provide traditional lanterns more other possibilities in the innovative approaches.
