Biomechanical insights into marine organism patterns and their applications in cultural and creative design
Abstract
The intricate patterns exhibited by marine organisms, shaped through hundreds of millions of years of evolution, represent remarkable biomechanical optimization. Current marine-themed cultural and creative products generally face challenges of “homogenized morphological imitation and hollow scientific connotation.” This research constructs a methodological system of “biomechanical decoding—pattern feature extraction—cultural and creative product transformation,” aiming to bridge the cognitive gap between bionic aesthetics and engineering mechanics. Cultural and creative design based on biomechanical characteristics breaks through the morphological limitations of traditional crafts, utilizing new technologies such as 3D printing to achieve intelligent responsive structural design, enhancing the educational value of cultural products. Taking the Strongylocentrotus nudus (purple sea urchin) from Dalian as a case study, this research delves into its unique morphological structure and cultural significance. It highlights the artistic potential of biological patterns in modern design, providing a systematic methodology for developing marine-inspired cultural and creative products. Ultimately, this work offers a fresh perspective for the field of cultural and creative design, promoting the harmonious fusion of scientific inquiry and artistic expression.
