Abstract

This paper aims to explain learning strategies for deconstructing and reconstructing natural objects as hidden knowledge in nature for application in design studio pedagogy, particularly in developing architectural forms. Current discourse on nature-based architecture learning often places nature as a form of metaphor and analogy. This article presents various results of tracing natural systems, especially plants and animals, as a basis for learning architecture in the Basic Design studio at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Diponegoro. The implementation of the design studio was conducted by groups of students who explore different types of plant and animal objects. The students were assigned to explore all the interesting aspects of the selected object's system in order to gain specific knowledge beyond the physical. The studio outputs demonstrate an exploration of new architectural forms based on the hidden knowledge of nature. The exploration method of this study follows the pedagogical process in the studio with data collection being carried out periodically through direct observation during model-making time. The learning result of this studio triggers students to be aware of the various hidden knowledge in the environment that can be used as a basic system for developing architectural forms.

Abstract

This paper explores the design process of the 'magic circle' as a form of a playful urban interior, inspired by traditional games as a form of ludic or play activity. Traditional games reflect the intersection of culture and social activities, offering elements and rules adaptable to create an inclusive and creative public interior. The research analyses the process and spatialities of traditional games, mapping common play areas, frequently encountered games, and how communities preserve these traditions in an urban context. This paper explores such spatialities in the play-event conducted by the Hong community, an urban community focusing on the preservation of traditional games in Bandung, West Java. The study investigates how traditional games in this event enable the creation of a playful space as a form of urban interior interventions. Based on such reading, the study proposes a playful interior system, consisting of ludic, crafting, and immersive space types. This system expands the design methodologies of the public interior, allowing user participation and flexibility in the playful inhabitation of the urban context.

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.
