現代消費社會籠罩在濃厚的符號性消費氛圍之下，「家具」也從純功能性的物件轉變為符號價值高的象徵性消費商品。本研究以Roland Barthes的圖像符號理論為基礎，試圖分析台灣的家具平面廣告，探究這些廣告的符號運作原則，以及隱含於家具消費背後的社會文化價值。從居家設計雜誌《ARCH雅砌》與《室內interior》中選取二十三則家具廣告，並依據廣告的主題與文本特性分為五個類別，進行深入分析。本研究發現，家具平面廣告的圖像訊息常依循「堆疊引申」與「二元對立」兩種意義建構過程，自然化物件的並置，堆砌出各種符號指涉系統；此外，在家具廣告中，文字訊息能同時對圖像訊息產生預設意義與情境意義的功能，但多對圖像進行「預設意義」的作用。本研究進一步發現，多數的家具廣告未建構出一個「家庭」的氛圍，而僅是搭築一個富含指涉意義的家具展示空間，利用這個空間極力強調西方文化的優越性，而西化的氛圍指涉了高級的生活型態。最後，研究結果顯示，在家具消費的領域中，社會階層、品味與文化資本皆影響了消費者行為，驗證了Baudrillard與Bourdieu等學者的符號消費理論。 / Modern society operates behind a shroud of symbolic consumption. Home furniture consumption, as an example, has been altered from purely functional to highly symbolic. Based on Roland Barthes’ pictorial semiotic theory, this paper attempts to analyze the print advertisements of furniture in Taiwan in order to clarify the signifying process of these furniture print ads and the socio-cultural values embedded in the Taiwan’s furniture consumption. Twenty-three print ads selected from popular design magazines, Arch and interior, are categorized into five groups according to their thematic and textual characteristics. The research finds that the iconic messages of these print ads are mostly in the pattern of “refrain” and “binary-opposition” utilizing “naturalization of objects” to construct symbolic meanings. Furthermore, the meaning of iconic message is frequently restrained by the linguistic message in terms of “anchorage,” although both “anchorage” and “relay” may both function in the print ad simultaneously. Most of the furniture advertisements didn’t construct a “home” atmosphere, but only a space to display furniture products and build rich referential meaning. The superiority of western culture is strongly emphasized; westernized ambience signifies the high-class life style. Finally, the research results indicate that in the case of furniture purchase, consumer behavior involves social class, taste, and cultural capital, which confirm Baudrillard’s and Bourdieu’s theories of symbolic consumption.

Para realizar este estudo, visitamos uma empresa característica do noroeste paulista com o intuito de observarmos a prática da empresa e desenvolver métodos de solução para aumentar sua produtividade. O critério de otimização considerado é a redução do número de ciclos da serra. Três métodos de solução foram propostos para a resolução do problema. O primeiro utiliza um modelo matemático que contém restrições que garantem que o número de objetos cortados de acordo com um determinado padrão de corte seja um múltiplo da capacidade da serra. Duas heurísticas, baseadas na heurística de repetição exaustiva de padrões de corte, são propostas para atender exatamente às demandas e reduzir o número de ciclos da serra na indústria de móveis visitada. Os estudos computacionais realizados, mostraram que as estratégias propostas obtêm resultados próximos aos da empresa e, em alguns casos, melhores. / In this work we have studied the Two-dimensional Cutting Stock Problem applied to a furniture industry. In order to carry out this study, we have visited a characteristic company at the Northwest region of the state of São Paulo in order to observe the industry practice and develop solution methods to increase its productivity. The goal is minimize the number of saw cycles. We propose three solution methods to solve the problem. The first one is a mathematical model which imposes that the number of objects to be cut according to a given cutting pattern is a multiple of the saw capacity. Two heuristics based on the sequential heuristic procedure are proposed to fulfil the demands and to reduce the number of saw cycles. By the computational tests results, we can conclude that these solution methods provide similar results to the industry's practice and, in some cases, better ones.

Dans un contexte de développement urbain en pleine vitesse de la province du Guangdong (au sud de la Chine), notamment de sa capitale Guangzhou, la transformation paysagère rapide et radicale nous incite à nous interroger sur les relations entre la société et l’environnement, les habitants et les lieux de vie, l’art et la ville. Face aux enjeux politiques et économiques liés aux mutations urbaines, quelle est la place et l’action de l’art sur l’aménagement de la ville? Sous quelles formes et de quelles manières l’art s’y intègre-t-il? Avec les interventions artistiques dans l’espace public, l’artiste est-il capable de rétablir, in situ, la communication réciproque entre les habitants et les lieux ? Quelles sont les approches et les modalités envisageables pour répondre à ces questions?Vu qu’il y a de nombreux bâtiments occidentaux construits à Guangzhou depuis une trentaine d’années, qui font face aux sculptures traditionnelles chinoises qui ne correspondent pas au style occidental, comment peut-on trouver les voies intermédiaires réconciliant deux polarités – la forme moderne occidentalisée et l’esprit traditionnel cantonais – dans la création de la sculpture urbaine ? Il devient nécessaire de reconstruire une version moderne de l’ancien système en proposant une forme urbaine locale contemporaine utilisant les savoirs-faires traditionnels des artisans qui dépasseraient la dissonance entre contexte architectural occidentalisé et sculpture régionale cantonaise. / In a context of urban development at full speed in Guangdong (South of China), especially its capital Guangzhou, the rapid and radical transformation of landscapes raises a number of questions about the relationship between societies and their environment, the local peoples and the living places, art and the city. Faced with political and economic issues related to urban change, what is the role and work of art on the city layout? In what forms and in what ways the art it does integrity? With artistic interventions in public space, the artist is capable of restoring it in situ, mutual communication between people and places? What approaches and possible ways to address these issues?Since there are many western buildings built in Guangzhou last thirty years, face to face traditional Chinese sculptures that do not fit the Western style, how can we find the subchannels reconciling two polarities - the modern westernized form and the traditional Cantonese spirit - in the creation of urban sculpture? It therefore becomes necessary to rebuild a modern version of the old system by providing a local contemporary urban form using the traditional skills of artisans who exceed the dissonance between westernized architectural context and Cantonese regional sculpture.

Parmi les réformes du concile de Trente, figure celle des ordres religieux incités à s'organiser en congrégations. Y figure aussi l'invitation à traduire dans l'architecture et le décor des églises, l'expression de la foi catholique réaffirmée. Tout cela induit de nouvelles formes architecturales ou de nouveaux aménagements liturgiques qui s'accompagnent dans le cas des ordres religieux, d'une réorganisation spatiale des monastères. Dans ce que le professeur Taveneaux a défini comme une dorsale catholique, la Lorraine tient une place particulière, par son histoire déjà, par son emplacement dans l'échiquier européen d'alors et par la forte présence d'une Eglise soutenue par les souverains. Par l'engagement d'évêques réformateurs, parties prenantes du concile de Trente, puis celui de la famille ducale de Lorraine, le pays voit éclore en quelques années trois fortes congrégations : l'Antique Observance dans l'ordre de Prémontré à partir de Pont-à-Mousson alors que la personnalité de Pierre Fourier cristallise la réforme des chanoines réguliers de Saint-Augustin. Pour les bénédictins, c'est la congrégation de Saint-Vanne et Saint-Hydulphe de dom Didier de La Cour. Par les choix et habitudes architecturaux, par le choix des décors des églises et des bâtiments claustraux, par la vie quotidienne et ses objets, il est possible d'avoir une nouvelle vision de cette congrégation particulièrement active et présente sur le sol lorrain.Les vannistes qui essaiment en France ne sont pas sans influence sur les populations. Il apparaît alors naturel de chercher à comprendre ce que leur architecture et leurs choix décoratifs disent d'eux, de la manière dont ils relaient la doctrine de l'Eglise et dont ils se perçoivent eux-mêmes avec le corollaire de l'image contrôlée ou non qu'ils veulent donner d'eux. Leur architecture, témoin d'un pouvoir, d'un état d'esprit, est aussi sûrement la traduction de leurs principes religieux. Le niveau provincial retenu est celui où se décident les noviciats, où se réfléchissent les suppressions éventuelles ou créations de maisons, où un visiteur fait le lien entre le gouvernement central de la congrégation et chacune de ses maisons. Les religieux vivent aussi cette réalité géographique car ils ne sont que fort peu nombreux à passer d'une province à l'autre et il apparait des spécificités provinciales dans l'organisation même de la congrégation, sans négliger pour autant les choix politiques ou l'évolution de la pensée qui varie différemment selon la province. Car au-delà même des aspects liés à l'organisation de la congrégation, la province de Lorraine offre une singularité supplémentaire, celle d'être alors dans un pays indépendant, même si cela est, à l'époque moderne, tout relatif. Bien que d'une étendue géographique assez limitée, elle offre tous les cas de figures pouvant se rencontrer dans la variété de statuts et d'histoire des maisons vannistes. Toutes ces situations constituent un excellent échantillon de la perception que des religieux cloîtrés des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles peuvent avoir de leur cadre de vie et de la manière dont ils le concrétisent. Tous ces éléments doivent concourir à définir ou non un éventuel style vanniste, montrant sous un jour particulier le quotidien des religieux qui composent cette grande congrégation d'une cinquantaine de maisons en Lorraine et en France, mère de congrégations réformées en France et en Belgique et sœur d'autres réformes monastiques nées en Lorraine dans les premières années du XVIIe siècle. / Among the reforms of Trent, is that religious orders are encouraged to organize themselves into congregations. It shall include the invitation to translate the architecture and decorations of the church, the expression of the catholic faith, are reaffirmed. All this leads to new architectural forms and new liturgical developments, are also accompanied in the case of religious orders, by a spatial reorganization of monasteries. In what Professor Taveneaux defined as a Catholic back, Lorraine holds a special place in history, by its location in the european stage and then by the strong presence of a church supported by the sovereigns. By reformers bishops stakeholders the Council of Trent and that of the ducal family of Lorraine commitment, the country sees hatch within a few years three congregations : Ancient Observance in the norbertine order from Pont-à-Mousson while the personality of Pierre Fourier crystallizes the reform of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine. For Benedictine, is the congregation of Saint-Vanne and St. Hydulphe by dom Didier de La Cour. The choices and architectural patterns, the choice of sets of churches and abbey buildings themselves, by everyday life and objects, it is possible to have a new vision of this congregation which is particularly active on the Lorraine ground. The vannistes swarming in France are not without influence on populations. It appears natural to try understanding in what their architecture and decorative choices say about them, how they relay the doctrine of the Church and how they perceive themselves with the corollary of the controlled image they want to give of them. Their architecture, witness the power of a state of mind, as surely is the translation of their religious principles. The provincial level used is where decisions novitiates, which reflect any deletions or creations of houses, where a visitor made the connection between the central government of the congregation and every house. Religious also live this geographic reality because they are just very few of them move from one province to another and it seems provincial specificities in the very organization of the congregation without neglecting the political choices or changes' thinking that evolves differently in each province. For even beyond the aspects related to the organization of the congregation, the province of Lorraine offers additional singularity, whereas that of being in an independent country, even if it is in modern times, all relative. Although a fairly limited geographical scope, it offers all the scenarios that can be found in the variety of status and history of vannistes houses. All these situations are an excellent sample of the perception that religious cloistered seventeenth and eighteenth centuries may have their living and how they materialize. All these elements must contribute to define whether a possible style vanniste showing in a particular light daily religious that make up this great congregation of about fifty houses in Lorraine and France, mother of reformed congregations in France and Belgium other monastic reforms sister born in Lorraine in the early seventeenth century.

Explorando a dimensão estético-simbólica, o estudo indaga sobre a influência da estética dos produtos do mobiliário-popular nas interpretações e associações semânticas e simbólicas dos usuários, objetivando investigar como ocorre a interação e a relação afetiva. Para isso, foi feita análise do público consumidor, considerando o seu perfil, analisando a mudança de hábitos e de consumo que se deu através do aumento significativo da renda e do acesso à informação nos últimos anos, levantando a hipótese de que os usuários e consumidores do mobiliário popular estão mais criteriosos quanto à avaliação do design desses produtos e das relações posteriores que eles desenvolvem com os mesmos. O método estudado abrangeu entrevistas e observações, e utilizou modelo da Interação Significante para classificar e caracterizar as respostas dos usuários nas dimensões prática e emocional. Os resultados do estudo levaram a conclusão de que as pessoas estão insatisfeitas com os produtos do mobiliário popular e, mesmo quando elegem produtos como seus preferidos, para a maior parte dos entrevistados, existe algum tipo de reclamação ou mudança que gostariam de realizar e, na maioria das vezes, essa alteração ou insatisfação está relacionada ao design do produto. / This research shows the user-product emotional relationship, having as object of study products that are part of the popular furniture, following the principle that the affective relationships that people develop with the products interfere not only in the purchase decision, but also in the feeling well-being and attachment to artifacts. Exploring the aesthetic-symbolic dimension, the study inquires about the influence of the aesthetics of popular furniture products on the semantic and symbolic interpretations and associations of users, aiming to investigate how the interaction and the affective relationship occur. In order to do this, the consumer public was analyzed taking into account their profile, analyzing the change in habits and consumption that occurred through a significant increase in income and access to information in recent years, raising the hypothesis that users and consumers of the popular furniture are more judicious as the evaluation of the design of these products and of the later relations that they develop with them. The method studied included interviews, observations, and used the model of Significant Interaction to classify and characterize the users' responses in the practical and emotional dimensions. The results of the study led to the conclusion that people are dissatisfied with popular furniture products and even when they choose products as their preferred, most respondents find that there is some kind of complaint or change they would like to make and most times this change or dissatisfaction is related to the product design.

The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyze the current effects of FSC production on the Czech market. The analysis of certified products in the Czech Republic was performed from the perspective of consumers and companies. The first step was a short consumer survey, which was distributed among respondents in electronic and paper versions. The main objective of this research was to measure awareness of FSC logo and its effects in the consumer choice process. The second part of this research was dedicated to companies producing or selling certified furniture. The field research was conducted among selected stores situated in České Budějovice.

I will build an argument utilizing the Hôtel de Soubise as a case study for the way in which the division between exteriors and interiors depicts the shifting cultural fabric of 18th-century French society.
