Application of Embroidery and Beading Techniques to Woven Fabrics Lurik with Gunungan Motifs on Fashion Products
No full textEmbellishment is a technique of decorating the fabric’s surface that is usually applied to the product to make it look more attractive or beautify its fashion. Embellishment techniques are often used in embroidery and beading. The material used in this technique is usually just thread embroidery and uses various types of plastic beads, sequins, glass, and natural materials such as stones and shells. In the 15th century in Byzantium, art embroidery was something luxurious, so only certain people could afford it. In Indonesia, the beading technique is used as a decorative object in clothing that supports the interests of customs. Indonesia also has traditional woven fabrics and shadow puppets that are considered ancient because they have existed since the royal era. The woven fabric is Lurik Woven Fabric. Combining techniques of embroidery and beading on Lurik Woven Cloth by taking inspiration from Gunungan wayang kulit and using it as an embellishment on the product can provide a 3-dimensional effect and will present embellishment which is more modern and can be used in the long-term (sustainable). So, there is also novelty starting from traditional Indonesian fabrics and techniques of embellishment. In this research, we will develop more optimally regarding applying Lurik Woven Fabrics as the basis of the technique embroidery and then add technique beading as embellishment on the product fashion. This study uses qualitative methods, such as literature studies, interviews, field observations, and exploratory experiments. The results of this study were in the form of an exploration of technical experiments in embroidery and beading by adding Lurik Woven Fabric material to embellishment on the product fashion.

Combination of Industrial Style Elements With Cultural Elements of The Ancient Rumah Bolon in Residential Houses
No full textThe traditional houses of Indonesia are known for their unique architectural designs and interior decorations. One such example is that of the ancient Bolon houses, which refers to an Indonesian traditional house that is built on stilts and has a distinctive structure. However, due to the constant technological advancements of this era, most of the public tends to lean toward the current trend of modern interior design. The Modern Industrial style refers to a residential housing style that is widely admired by the public for its distinctive characteristics, namely the exposed materials utilized. In addition to the comparison between the house’s structure and material, the emphasis on functionality can be used as a starting point for the merging of these two architectural styles. The Modern Industrial style of architecture is known for its functionality and the Rumah Bolon had been built with specific functions in mind, such as the usage of the Balai Bolon for traditional ceremonies.

DPCX Framework: A Theoretical Foundation for Building a Didactic Online Course in Design Education
No full textDesign education emphasizes learning activities through exercises of sense, logic, and motor skills to create critical and creative individuals with artistic appreciation. Traditionally, design education is mostly conducted through face-to-face consultation and discussion to grasp undefined and uncommunicated tacit knowledge. Technological developments have led to societal changes that affect human learning patterns and online learning growth. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of online learning design courses. Theoretical reviews are used to understand the theoretical foundations of education, design education, online learning, and learning interactivity. This study introduces the didactic-pedagogical-contentcontext (DPCX) knowledge framework for online design courses. The framework was developed from the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPCK) model to explain the content, pedagogical, and contextual elements of the design discipline applied to online learning. Design lecturers can use this framework as a guide to determine the combination of material content, pedagogy, and contextual materials in online learning. These findings and recommendations can also contribute to policymakers designing education in general.
