Description

During the initial planning stage, a new artificial creation has to satisfy the functional and performance requirements. However, the recent trends toward affluence show that the needs of our society are becoming relatively more susceptible in several ways. It is considered necessary to incorporate the factors of sensitivity to human feelings and emotions into the design, and the initial design as well. With this background, the concept planning and form design of ships also become increasingly important in the initial planning stage, especially for the ship types such as cruise ships built entirely for human leisure activities. Also, for a futuristic approach towards ship constructions, such a thought process is considered extremely important. This paper tries to get a grasp of the conditions and the criteria for a form creation by conducting a research on the relationship between adjective expressions and the trends toward form designs using a multivariant analysis of information which was gathered from opinion surveys. As a typical application, some type ship models made from styrene foam and the ship profiles drawn on personal computers were used to create an algorithm for the evaluation of the retrospective impressions on the minds of the general public, which could serve as a useful pointer towards the future trends in ship form designs.
