Abstract


With the characteristics on recording the trace of human life, cultural heritage is acknowledged as possessing significant humanistic, spiritual, and socio-economic values. However, there remain problems such as insufficient integration with science and technology, inadequate design innovation, and the lack of digital construction. Based on these problems, the article discusses the need of constructing a digital management platform with cultural heritage knowledge, the expression paradigm, the essential contents, and key technologies. By elaborating current status of its application and utilization, the study explores issues including scattered resources, simple transplantation and lacking digital approach. And it found that designers’ cognition on cultural heritage is relatively superficial, especially for images and literal meanings. Aiming for sharing design knowledge of cultural heritage, the study proposes a conceptual model digital platform of management based on the exploration of design process in extracting cultural elements and verifying the feasibility where design needs can be achievable. Taking Macao’s historic area as an example, the study demonstrates a way to construct the digital resource sharing and management platform using “open source” approach as a sort of design alternative where cultural elements and compositions can be applied efficiently.
