A Form Design Method of Children’s Slide Based on BESO Algorithm

Abstract

The BESO algorithm is a bionic algorithm often used in the design of architectural structures. With the help of the BESO algorithm, designers can design structures for buildings, bridges, etc. that are reasonably stressed and consume less material, thus reducing material losses. The forms generated by this algorithm often have a unique aesthetic and bionic character, and from the perspective of an industrial designer, this unique aesthetic is applicable to a wider range of product form designs. Therefore, we propose a new design method for children’s slide morphology by combining the BESO algorithm. First, we summarize the fallacies and causes of previous children’s slide designs, and summarize the elements of an ideal children’s slide form design. Secondly, we review the cases of application of BESO algorithm in building structure design, summarize the shape characteristics of its generated forms, and bring the algorithm into the process of generating the forms of various types of children’s slides to obtain different children’s slide forms. Third, we optimize the design of different slide shapes generated by the algorithm, and then obtain a series of children’s slide shape design solutions with unique aesthetics. Finally, we bring these structures into the case study and discuss the impact brought by human-computer interaction in the design process.
