聞香識藥

《聞香識藥》以「嗅覺」作為重新認識中藥材的起點，透過感官體驗與視覺設計的轉譯，建立一種更親近、輕鬆的中藥文化學習方式。本計畫精選36味常見中藥材，將其氣味、顏色與知識系統化整理，並轉化為一組結合嗅覺、視覺與資訊的設計產品，讓傳統中藥文化以更貼近現代生活的形式被理解與記憶。三種產品以36味藥材為核心延伸，形成互相連結的生活設計系統。使用者可能因為杯墊的視覺美感而產生興趣，進而透過月曆獲得知識，最後透過聞香瓶建立更深層的感官記憶，形成由淺入深的學習與體驗過程。《聞香識藥》希望透過設計將原本被視為專業、遙遠的中醫藥知識重新轉譯，使其變得輕量化、視覺化且更貼近日常生活。透過嗅覺與設計的結合，讓傳統藥材重新被感知、理解與記住，延續其文化價值與生活意義。

Fragrance of Herbs

“Recognizing Herbs Through Scent” uses smell as a starting point to rediscover traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. By integrating sensory experience with visual design, it creates a more accessible and engaging way to learn herbal culture. The project selects 36 common herbs, organizing their scents, colors, and knowledge into a cohesive system that connects with contemporary life.

It develops three products—coasters, a calendar, and scent bottles—forming an interconnected design system. Users are first attracted by the coasters’ visuals, then gain knowledge through the calendar, and finally build deeper sensory memory through the scent bottles, creating a gradual learning experience.

Through this approach, the project reinterprets herbal knowledge—often seen as distant and specialized—into a lighter, more visual, and approachable form, allowing people to better perceive, understand, and remember its cultural value in everyday life.
