從產品設計的角度探討植栽在室內空間中的綠化方式為此研究的目的。藉由綠化相關文獻資料之探討，本研究跳脫既有室內綠化的思維方式並且挑戰原本的室內綠化設計模式，試圖從產品設計的角度探討植栽在室內空間中新的綠化方式。藉由文獻整理相關案例資料並將其分為大三類: 功能性、結構性與裝飾性。並敘述植栽在室內空間中的綠化方式的架構及重點原則。這些架構及重點原則可作為在植栽綠化產品設計之概念形成及發展階段之重要參考。本論文根據所設定出來的三個類型屬性為設計架構，並利用此三種類型屬性設計出三件作品原型。

This research aims at exploring plant greening from the perspective of product design within the context of interior space. By investigating relative paper in depth, this research thinks outside the box and challenges the traditional thinking in the design of interior greening. It intends to explore a new spectrum in plant greening in interior space from the perspective of product design. This paper started from the discussion of plant greening literature and the categorization of case studies in the product design of plant greening. Three categories of plant greening have been found, that is, functional type, structural type and decorative type. The essentials and framework of plant greening design were summarized. They can be served as backbone for ideation and concept development in the primary stage of product development for plant greening. Based on three types of attributes analyzed in the research, three types of products are developed and prototyped.
