Abstract

This paper argues that colour can be seen as a tectonic instrument to visualise spatial order and generate the surface configuration towards the overall form. Colour plays an important role within a space formation system, more than just a decorative element. Colour demonstrates performance that blurs the surface, presents spatial continuity, or emphasises the presence of space through a well-arranged achromatic-polychromatic colour composition. This paper explores various forms of colour combinations in Starbucks’ interior settings to reveal the performance of colour as part of the functional and expressive space formation system. The study utilises Hue, Saturation, and Lightness (HSL) analysis towards multiple case studies of Starbucks to find out to what extent the formation of a colour system that is specifically made for the identity of a product can be implemented on an architectural scale. The findings introduce another logic of colour systems combination that can be used strategically as a basis for designing architectural spaces.

Abstract

The study explores contrasting narratives and the intersections between them as the basis of context-based space exploration. Narrative approaches demonstrate possibilities of creatively expanding the design process with its values on imagination and storytelling. Yet, with the focus of stories as the basis of narrative exploration, discussion about its relation to context is often limited. This study introduces the exploration of contrast narratives by exploring the intersection between the naturalistic and theatrical conception of space presented in Tim Burton's 1990 film titled Edward Scissorhands. The close relation of a film to imagination provides possibilities for a more rich and extensive spatial design. The results of this study demonstrate the contrast narratives depicted by differing colours, proportions, and conditions of space throughout the film. Intersections between narratives exist through interactions between characters that are repositioned from one narrative to the other, highlighting how users coming from contrasting contexts may adapt and appropriate new spaces in time. The idea of contrast reveals the contextual relations between narrative, space, and time, demonstrating a potential basis for developing a context-based architectural design method.

Abstract

This study examines the generation of theoretical and practical knowledge in the evolution of design frameworks. Current discourse views design practice as an intuitive process rather than a knowledge-driven one. This study argues that theory as design knowledge informs practice, and knowledge generated from a reflective design practice informs possibilities of theoretical propositions. This article focuses on examining the flows of knowledge that underlines the evolution of pattern-based, force-based, and concept-based design frameworks within the architectural discourses from the year 1400 to 2020. Rather than focusing on the duality of theory and practice in architectural knowledge, the study emphasises the different generations and appropriations of knowledge emerging from the dialectical relations between theory and practice. Alteration of subsequent practice informed by such knowledge reflects a dynamic evolution of the design frameworks. By mapping the evolution of design frameworks in architectural discourses over time, the study contributes to establishing how design frameworks are grounded in theoretical and practical thinking to adaptively produce knowledgeable designs.
