Abstract

The transformation of public spaces in urban areas often reflects a response to changes in lifestyle and patterns of social interaction. One form of such transformation can be found in the revitalization of the second floor of Pasar Kosambi, Bandung, which is now known as The Hallway Space. This space offers a more contemporary interior design approach, targets the needs of the younger generation, and demonstrates an effort to make traditional spaces a new platform for more inclusive social and economic activities.  This research aims to examine the extent to which the space-forming elements, namely the floor, walls and ceiling, play a role in facilitating social interaction in a semi-commercial culinary space. The approach used is descript-+ive-qualitative, with field observation methods and an in-depth literature review o/f interior element theory and the concept of third space. The research focused on the culinary tenant area and communal dining room as the main center of user activities.  By considering interior design as an active element in shaping social experience, this study highlights the interrelationship between the structure of space and the dynamics of user interaction. This research is expected to enrich the understanding of how creative public spaces act as facilitators of social relations in the context of contemporary cities, as well as open new discussions on the role of design in supporting the formation of adaptive and relevant third spaces Keywords: Interior Design, Third Space, Space Elements, The Hallway Space, Social Interaction

Abstract

As a result of the political, social, economic,  scientific changes that have happened in the twentieth century, a new thinking, new arts have became appeared and the companies competition, encouraged designers to create innovative product forms including exotic product designs. One of them is the ceramic cup, a functional and universal product used across cultures, with design variations. Cups were chosen as the object of research because it is relevant to measure differences in design preferences across two contrasting cultures. This research compares the preference of Indonesians and Iraqis to find out the design criteria that are of concern to each. The urgency of this comparison lies in the significant cultural differences between Asia and the Middle East, as well as the huge market potential in both countries with the rapid growth of the creative industry. The method used is comparative. The research population was Indonesian and Iraqi interior design students, with purposive sampling technique. Data collection through questionnaires, respondents were asked to rank the most favorite designs, then the results were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and using the evaluation criteria (key Jury criteria) for product design from the Cairo Design Award (CDA 2023) to analyze product characteristics. The results show that both Indonesia and Iraq prioritize creativity, innovation, novelty, and originality, which can be considered universal factors interest of products. The difference lies in visual communication is more important for Indonesian, while innovation is the main attraction for Iraqi consumers, this is reflecting the cultural background.

Abstract

This study examines the sustainability advantages of plant-based vegan leather materials compared to traditional animal leathers and explores the current applications of leather-like vegan surfaces in the production of accessories such as bags, keychains, and wallets. Various types of plant-based vegan leather, which are widely used in sectors such as fashion, automotive, interior design, and accessory design, have been comprehensively evaluated. As part of the research, accessory designs were developed using commercially sourced rubber-based vegan leather. The same model was also produced using synthetic leather. In addition, vegan leather-like surfaces were produced at home using natural and recyclable materials such as capsule coffee grounds, pineapple leaves, and peanut shells, all considered organic waste. Among these, the coffee-based surfaces particularly those made from used capsule coffee grounds were used to design and manufacture accessory prototypes such as bags and wallets. The entire design process was conducted digitally using Adobe Illustrator, and the prototypes were carefully prepared and modeled in digital format. This study aims to offer an innovative and practice-oriented approach for designers, producers, and researchers working in the field of sustainable accessory design, through the use of both commercial and home-produced alternative materials. The findings are expected to contribute to the literature on sustainable fashion and the development of alternative materials.

Abstract

In the era of rapid technological advancement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force across various creative industries, particularly in the domain of visual design. This research explores the critical role of AI in promoting cultural sustainability through adaptive and intelligent visual design systems. Cultural sustainability demands the preservation, representation, and dynamic reinterpretation of cultural identities within contemporary visual communication. However, the homogenizing effect of globalization and digital media often threatens the authenticity and continuity of localized cultural narratives. AI technologies—such as generative design algorithms, pattern recognition, and machine learning—offer unprecedented opportunities to counter this trend by enabling culturally sensitive visual content that evolves in response to specific sociocultural contexts. This study adopts a multidisciplinary methodological approach, combining theoretical analysis with applied case studies from branding, visual identity, and immersive digital environments. It examines how AI can be programmed to recognize, learn from, and creatively reinterpret traditional cultural symbols, motifs, and aesthetics without diluting their authenticity. Furthermore, the research proposes a conceptual framework for integrating AI in culturally sustainable visual design, structured around three main dimensions: cultural preservation, adaptive innovation, and ethical AI governance. Special attention is given to the risks of cultural misappropriation, over-automation, and loss of narrative depth when AI applications are not guided by culturally aware design strategies. Ultimately, this study contributes to the fields of visual communication, sustainable design, and cultural informatics by offering a strategic pathway for leveraging AI not as a tool of homogenization but as a catalyst for cultural resilience, diversity, and visual innovation.   Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Cultural Sustainability, Visual Communication, Generative Design, Ethical AI, Cultural Identity

Abstract

Unlike Emigre, the international typography periodical Fuse has a different mission. In addition to having a conceptual publishing policy with a separate concept in each publication, the experimental fonts prepared by designated experts for these concepts actually expanded the boundaries of the font design concept of the period and fulfilled a pioneering and creative task in the context of the inspirations or sources of design. It is possible to see the effects of Fuse not only in the 1990s or 2000s, but also throughout the 2010s. In the literature in our country, the effects and contributions of the Fuse periodical to the development of graphic design have not been examined much, and the qualities of the fonts developed thanks to the magazine are not well understood. The purpose of this article, which will be based on literature review as a qualitative research method, is to define the mission fulfilled by Fuse and to contribute to the literature on the qualities of the fonts developed by the publication.

Abstract

In today's world, the influence of sustainability on the field of design is steadily increasing, and packaging design has emerged as one of the key areas where this awareness becomes visible. Packaging produced with recyclable, reusable, and environmentally friendly materials reflects brands’ sustainability approaches. The graphic language of ecological packaging plays a significant role in conveying its intended message. Various visual elements such as color, typography, and symbols strongly reflect environmental sensitivity in graphic expression. This design language not only positively contributes to the brand identity but also enhances the visibility of environmental awareness for the consumer. Therefore, sustainable packaging serves as a powerful communication tool, not only through its environmentally safe physical properties but also through its graphic language that supports ecological awareness. This study focuses on how graphic elements in packaging design convey messages of sustainability, and addresses the relationship between graphic expression, design, and nature. Selected examples of ecological packaging are examined through visual elements such as typography, color, texture, form, and material using a descriptive analysis method. Nature-inspired forms, organic lines, and indicators play a crucial role in communicating sustainability messages in packaging design. Especially, designs that emphasize a minimalist aesthetic are valuable in their contribution to raising environmental awareness among consumers. This study aims to reveal the impact of graphic expression in ecological packaging designs and to develop proposals that will contribute to the understanding of sustainable design.

Abstract

Art education assumes a fundamental function in developing individuals' creative thinking capacities and transferring these skills to interdisciplinary life practices. Research shows that the creativity gained in the process of art education is not limited to aesthetic production; it is also directly related to high-level thinking skills such as critical analysis, innovative problem solving, cognitive flexibility and interdisciplinary synthesis. This process nourishes not only the cognitive competencies of the individual, but also the social skills that form the basis of collective life such as empathy, cooperation and social dialogue. Therefore, art education functions as a sociocultural bridge that enables individuals to interact harmoniously and effectively with social systems. Individuals who use the liberating potential of creative expression acquired through art education also gain the ability to develop sensitivity to social problems and to produce collective solutions. In addition, it can be said that art education, beyond being a mere aesthetic experience, is a powerful tool in gaining sensitivity to social problems and creating collective awareness. The study emphasises the indispensable role of art education within the general education paradigm. Based on its effects on individuals' cognitive skills, it has been demonstrated that art education contributes not only to individual development but also to social integration and cultural sustainability in multiple ways. Art education has been evaluated as a lifelong learning process and has emerged as a continuous area of development that can be related to the individual's experiences. In this context, it has been concluded that art education should be positioned as a strategic learning area that supports individual potential, encourages social development, and increases cultural, aesthetic, and social awareness from pre-school onwards.

Abstract

Art, beyond being an aesthetic form of expression, offers new experiential possibilities shaped by technological advances. In this context, the integration of holographic elements into artworks has introduced new visual and conceptual dimensions. This study explores how holography-defined as the technique of creating three-dimensional images using the interference and diffraction of light-functions within artistic practices. Although there are approximately sixty types of holography, only a few are suitable for art. The research focuses on three primary types: reflection, transmission, and hybrid holography. Reflection holography produces images by reflecting light off a surface, creating depth and realism depending on light placement and viewer position. Transmission holography allows light to pass through the hologram, offering a different spatial perception. Hybrid holography combines different techniques or technologies, often utilizing digital algorithms to produce images without physical objects. These types allow artists to redefine the relationship between artwork and viewer, enhancing interactive and immersive experiences. This study, conducted using qualitative research methods, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of holography's development and application in the arts from the 1960s to the present. Through selected examples, it examines the technical characteristics, visual effects, and viewer engagement offered by each holography type.

Abstract

It is possible to explain the psychology of the vocal body as a concept that examines the dynamic relationship between the bodily expression of the voice and mental processes. In technical terms, we can define human voice production as the timbre obtained when the air flow from the lungs vibrates the vocal cords in the larynx with high resonance. Evaluating this sound production for professional voice users is subject to many algorithms added to the existing sound production technique. Coordination of laryngeal muscles, subglottic pressure balance and resonance mechanisms, which are the basic components of vocal production, are critical for healthy voice formation. However, performance anxiety can disrupt this physiological balance, leading to fluctuations in voice quality, disruptions in breath control and increased muscle tension. In this sense, an opera singer has to manage both the aforementioned biomechanical and psychological processes during voice production. The concept of “vocal body” used in the research aims to explain not only the anatomical structures such as larynx, diaphragm and resonance cavities that contribute to voice production, but also the complex relationship of these structures with emotional, cognitive and psychological factors. On a platform where physiological and psychological processes are articulated in order to produce a quality voice suitable for intonation, it is obvious that dynamics that disrupt the body-mind integrity disrupt the quality of performance. Factors such as performance anxiety increase muscular tension, leading to laryngeal hyperfunction and ultimately to a deterioration in the timbral integrity of the voice. This proves that physiological excellence is fragile unless it is supported by psychological resilience. Only the synergy of neurobiological processes and emotional regulation can bring the vocal body to optimal performance. If we accept the concept of voice as an anatomical product of the body as well as an emotional manifestation of the mind, professional voice users must build both the product of technical production and psychological resilience through an educational philosophy that embraces this dual reality.
