| Abstract |
| This study applied network analysis to explore systematically Color, Material, and Technique (C-M-T) combinations. Based on data from the CMF HOW’s archive of the Korea Institute of Design Promotion, an integrated C-M-T network was constructed, and bipartite division with projection analysis was performed to derive structural characteristics and combination patterns. Certain applied metrics, for example, centrality, density, clustering coefficient, and modularity, showed that colors flexibly combine with diverse materials and techniques, while materials critically constrain technique selection or form repetitive combinations. Some materials exhibited high centrality, linking with many colors and techniques, but others had limited applicability. Modularity analysis identified communities sharing similar processing strategies, suggesting possible extensions to product-specific design strategies or process optimization. Interviews with experts further confirmed this analytical framework’s function as a practical reference for CMF planning and decision-making, and they highlighted potential applications in, for instance, sustainability regulations, cross-industry comparisons, and product case analyses. By quantitatively structuring CMF data, this study enables objective understanding of CMF combination tendencies and presents an analytical tool with both academic and practical significance for design practice. |
