A Cultural SymbolProduct Structure Integration Design Method for the AIGC Era

To address the difficulty that generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) faces in deeply and innovatively integrating cultural elements with product carriers in cultural-creative product design, this paper proposes a demand-modeling cultural-integration scheme-generation design method for cultural-creative products. In the demand-modeling stage, Deepseek-R1 is combined with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to precisely identify user needs; in the cultural-integration stage, the concept of Hu moments (invariant moments) and shape grammar are introduced and combined with user requirements to achieve a structured fusion of cultural symbols and product form; in the scheme-generation stage, design proposals are generated using Stable Diffusion (SD) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is employed to evaluate and select the optimal proposal. A Ming-style hoop-back chair is used as the carrier and Sanxingdui bronze motifs as the cultural elements in a case study. The proposed method is able to achieve deep integration of cultural elements with products while satisfying user needs, effectively bridging the gap between technical rationality and cultural sensibility, and provides new ideas and methods for cultural-creative product design in the artificial intelligence era.
