Designing a Design Thinking Model in Interior Design Teaching and Learning
Get PDFIn the last three decades, research on design processes and methods has been the driving force behind the design science development; however, research on design process knowledge has not developed much in Indonesia. This research aims to answer the problems faced by interior design students when they have to complete a design task by applying specific design processes and methods. The choice of technique and method is influenced by the situation & conditions in which the design is carried out. The research was carried out using the “double diamonds” process and method with a problem-solving approach. The research analysis was carried out by examining students’ design documents in the interior design course, conducting interviews with students and lecturers, and literature studies. Furthermore, an alternative process model and design method are more prepared to follow the needs and answer the Interior Design Study Program’s problems when completing a design task. Research has succeeded in finding process models and design methods called a DT-DI model compatible with interior design students.
Women Emancipation and Empowerment in The Incredibles 1 and 2
Get PDFMovies represent women differently from men. Some try to raise women’s dignity, and some still impose traditional values on them. This paper studies the representation of the characters of female superhero in The Incredibles 1 and 2 which seem to support women’s emancipation. However, there are some ideas conveyed through the mise- en-scéne which still indicate that the movie series do not fully emancipate women. The Incredibles 1 and 2 movie series have been chosen as the object of the study for their typical characteristics when female superhero plays the role. The purpose of this paper is to examine how women are represented through visuals and character roles in The Incredibles 1 and 2. The movies were analyzed through a critical discourse approach. The analysis focused on the language beyond sentences and aspects outside the language, such as power relation, social context, and ideology. The result of the analysis shows that the female character in the movies still upholds traditional values, such as male domination, revealing that these movies are not emancipatory for women. Moreover, women are still degraded and objectified through their body. Therefore, these movies can be seen as a form of pseudo-empowerment, where something is seen as empowering but actually it is not. Emansipasi dan Pemberdayaan Perempuan dalam Film Incredibles 1 dan 2. Film menggambarkan perempuan dan laki-laki dengan cara yang berbeda. Sebagian mencoba untuk menaikkan derajat perempuan, dan sebagian masih menyajikan nilai- nilai tradisional. Artikel ini meneliti representasi karakter perempuan utama pada film The Incredibles 1 dan 2 yang terlihat mendukung emansipasi perempuan melalui karakter superhero. Namun, terdapat gagasan yang menunjukkan bahwa kedua film ini tidak sepenuhnya mengemansipasi perempuan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk meneliti bagaimana perempuan digambarkan melalui visual dan peran pada setiap karakter di The Incredibles 1 dan 2. Kedua film ini dianalisa menggunakan pendekatan analisis wacana. Analisis dilakukan pada tingkat bahasa yang digunakan yang tidak terbatas pada kalimat dan aspek-aspek di luar bahasa, seperti hubungan kekuasaan, konteks social, dan ideologi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa karakter perempuan pada kedua film ini masih menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai tradisional, seperti dominasi oleh laki-laki. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa film-film ini tidak merepresentasikan kebebasan pada perempuan. Lebih lagi, melalui tubuhnya, perempuan masih terlihat direndahkan dan dijadikan sebagai objek. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa film-film ini merupakan suatu pseudo-empowerment, yaitu ketika sesuatu terlihat seperti memberikan kebebasan namun dalam kenyataanya tidak sama sekali
Deconstruction and fractalization of urban identity
Get PDFThe research, by referring to the Dur Untash city at the Symbolic level, seeks to answer the question that how in urban semiotics, the city's identity has acquired a semantic significance beyond its significance.

In this game will be try to impose certain meanings on the city identity using the symbolic function; to internalize meta-narrative (internalization process) and in this way, the identity and the presence of the Dur-Untash city will be recorded in time and reach an immortal realm

Meski peristiwa tersebut sulit dibayangkan oleh masyarakat pedesaan, namun faktanya fenomena tersebut telah mengakibatkan para petani mengalami kegagalan panen dan hampir tidak dapat lagi memprediksi waktu tanam. Di luar fenomena tersebut, persoalan lingkungan juga terjadi di kaki Gunung Merapi, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Penambangan pasir liar di pemukiman penduduk, telah mengakibatkan menyusutnya populasi tumbuhan dan rusaknya tata guna lahan, sehingga berdampak pada menurunnya permukaan air tanah dan air permukaan. Kerusakan lingkungan berawal dari terpecahnya cara pandang orang akibat dari munculnya pembedaan antara humanisme dengan ekologis, pengetahuan dengan nilai-nilai, dan tubuh dengan spiritualitas. Pencak silat, sebagai seni bela diri Indonesia yang tunduk pada keselarasan antara manusia dengan lingkungan alam tempat hidupnya, dapat menggugah kesadaran orang setempat untuk mempertimbangkan kembali kebiasaannya yang dapat merugikan lingkungan dan alam. Integrated Space Design sebagai manifestasi estetis Eco Art, merupakan karya seni yang diciptakan untuk menjawab persoalan lingkungan yang terjadi di kawasan kaki Gunung Merapi, yaitu dengan mewujudkan ruang, wadah atau jembatan interaksi antar manusia, manusia dengan lingkungan buatannya dan alam seputar hidupnya, dengan menggunakan tanaman bambu sebagai medium utamanya, dan spiritualitas silat sebagai inspirasinya sehingga dapat melestarikan daya hidup masyarakat setempat, baik secara ekologis maupun spiritual.

Integrated Space Design as the aesthetic manifestation of Eco Art, is an artwork created to address environmental problems that occur in the foot area of Mount Merapi namely by creating a space that bridges the interactions between humans, between humans and their artificial environment, and between humans and their surrounding nature, by using bamboo plants as its main media, and silat spirituality as an inspiration in order to sustain the living power of the local community, both ecologically and spiritually
