The profit-driven tendency of interior design trends and styles today has developed in line with the decrease of social awareness in design. The majority of interior design students also decide to pursue interior design education for its marketable and profitable purposes rather than seeing interior design as a field of opportunity to contribute to the social welfare of their communities. Hence, the objective of this research is to implement community service through co-design in interior design pedagogy. The article describes the learning and design methods used based on human-centred design approaches of co-design and analyses the resulting benefits from this approach. Findings reveal that the process of collective creativity and collaborative development with the community enables a direct experience of learning and fosters a deeper connection and understanding of users. They also promote novel multidisciplinary design innovations, accommodate the community's potentials in the society and stimulate a reflexive impact, allowing students to reflect on their future role as interior designers in bringing positive changes to their community against the profit-driven tendency of contemporary designers today.
West Nusa Tenggara was ever hit by an earthquake and tsunami on August 19th, 1977. This earthquake and tsunami made an impact on the area of Kuta Village Central Lombok, which is under the Mandalika Tourism Area (MTA) development now. This research conducted the assessment of the MTA development impact on the Kuta Village based on the tsunami hazard analysis point of view. This research applies the bathymetric data, the before development topography, and the after development topography to make the simulation of tsunami waves run-up. The analysis of tsunami waves run-up used four-wave height scenarios, i.e. 3.5 meters of before development and 3.5 meters, 5 meters, 7 meters of after development. The result of the tsunami simulation showed differences. The tsunami inundation area in the MTA decreased by 855,617.12 m2. But, the tsunami inundation area in the Kuta Village was increased by 3,278 m2.
This research aims to discover the local wisdom of ancient cultural products in Indonesia, specifically the ornamental decorations of the Batak Toba traditional house in North Sumatra. Using Panofsky's iconological approach of analysis, the research investigates the form and meaning contained in the various ornaments attached to house. The data were collected through literature studies and field observations, which were analyzed under two consecutive stages. The first stage interprets the ornaments' textual meanings (Preiconography), while the second stage discovers their contextual meanings (Iconography). Results reflect that, in terms of form, the ornamental decorations of the Batak Toba house were majorly inspired by phenomenon and objects of nature that have been stylized, while some were imaginative and novel in character. Further investigations revealed that the ornaments contain meanings that reflect the people's spiritual beliefs of Banua Tonga (middle world) being in a harmonious relationship with Banua Ginjang (upper world) and Banua Toru (lower world). They also represent the life visions and philosophies of the Batak Toba society: Hamoraon (prosperity), Hagabeon (fertility), and Hasangapon (honor).
The growth of the creative community cannot be quantitatively and qualitatively separated from the growing development of Creative Industry 4.0. Various creative communities produce a variety of creative products that are ready to be sold. Unfortunately, the focus of the community is often only on the product and not on the packaging design. Meanwhile, a product’s packaging not only serves to protect the product but also to promote it and encourage purchase. The purpose of this research is to educate and help the community obtain packaging designs that are not only unique but also suitable for their products. By involving Packaging Design course students of the Visual Communication Design department, we attempted to assist a jewellery and accessories-making community as our research object. Students first attempted to deepen their clients' insights by conducting observations and in-depth interviews. In designing the packaging, they consulted with their tutors intensively. The packaging design that the students produced undergoes a selection process, which resulted in four packaging designs that were deemed fit for use. Two of the selected designs were registered to obtain IPRs in the Industrial Design category. Through this research, it is hoped that the packaging design produced by these students can be used to support the sale of community products. In addition to that, they can also be used to inspire other communities to acknowledge the role of packaging design as a means that can help the sustainability of their business.
Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that can enhance one's creativity in order to obtain independent achievements. Batik training is one that is conducted in the field of arts. Specific targets determined for this research are to assist primary students in discovering their talents, developing their skills and creativity in creating motifs that are sourced from the natural environment, implementing them in patterns, and training one's self through batik techniques. To achieve these goals, the research adopts the participatory action research method through training of batik writing and batik colet. Research results reveal that children are able to produce various creative works that are inspired by plants and animals. The increase of the student's creativity has been influenced by factors such as the student's personality, the facilitator as external motivational drivers, creative activity processes, and works as evidence of the children's learning outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
