Abstract

This research aims to develop an angkringan cart design derived from traditional angkringan inspiration to become modern, then parse the estimated manufacturing costs. The design concept combines traditional and modern elements using a three-wheeled motorcycle to increase mobility and appeal to millennials. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The results showed that the modern angkringan cart based on a three-wheeled motorcycle has a minimalist, aesthetic, and efficient design. The materials used include hollow iron, aluminium plate, and wood to ensure durability. Red, yellow, and white colours were chosen to increase visual appeal and branding. The estimated cost of making the cart includes the cost of purchasing a motorcycle, materials, painting, accessories, labour services, as well as unexpected expenses, with a total budget of around IDR 50,500,000. This design offers high flexibility in mobility and operational efficiency. Further studies can evaluate the effectiveness of the design and maintenance over a period of time to improve the performance of modern angkringan carts.

Abstract

The low political participation among first-time voters and the strong reliance of Generation Z on social media highlight the need for accessible political education. This study aims to design a social campaign titled “Politik Gak Ribet!” as a basic political literacy medium for Gen Z. The campaign integrates motion graphics as the primary medium with interactive zines as a supporting medium, utilizing a design thinking approach to ensure engaging and meaningful communication.The campaign addresses four key topics: the importance of collective goals through discussion, fundamental knowledge of the electoral system, the impact of social media on political opinion, and the issue of political apathy. Visual elements include folk-art-style children's illustrations, fable-based metaphors, and simple interactive games such as crosswords to foster emotional and cognitive engagement.The results of this design project indicate the potential of visually driven and interactive media to serve as alternative educational tools that resonate with young audiences. The campaign is expected to promote critical awareness and encourage active civic engagement among Gen Z in Indonesia’s political sphere.

Abstract

This research aims to optimize the processing of pandan leaves as craft material through comprehensive analysis of various drying and natural dyeing methods. Nine pandan leaf specimens with different initial treatments were tested using two main drying methods: natural sun-drying and oven drying. The research results show that pandan leaves with dimensions of 4-6 cm width and 40-100 cm length provide an optimal yield rate of approximately 60-70% for high-quality craft material production. The boiling process as initial treatment followed by sun-drying produces the best balance between drying time efficiency, color quality, and material structural integrity. Oven drying for 20 minutes proved equivalent to conventional sun-drying in terms of dryness level, but resulted in brittle material and loss of color absorption capability. Dyeing exploration using turmeric extract, suji leaves, and teak leaves showed that the use of lime water as solvent produces superior color intensity compared to regular water. This research provides significant contribution to the development of standard specifications for sustainable and environmentally friendly pandan leaf craft industry.

Abstract

The fashion industry is a rapidly growing sector that also contributes to increasing textile waste, one of which is fabric scraps. Often perceived as worthless, fabric scraps have great potential to be transformed into functional and aesthetic products. This study aims to explore the utilization of fabric scraps through quilting techniques in developing sustainable outerwear designs. The research uses a qualitative exploratory method with the M.A.C.A.K approach (Material, Tools, Method, Attributes, and Context). The results show that fabric scraps can be processed into textured and layered materials suitable for outerwear design. The resulting products are jackets and vests developed under the concepts of nature- inspired fashion and sheer layering, emphasizing aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability.

Abstract

Dekorasi rumah adalah perencanaan tata letak dan desain ruang interior di dalam rumah yang tujuannya perbaikan fungsional, pengayaan estetika, peningkatan psikologis ruang interior. Produk dekorasi rumah dapat disesuaikan dengan tema interior yang sedang tren pada waktu tersebut. Material rotan adalah salah satu material yang dapat diaplikasikan dan dikembangkan untuk produk dekorasi menurut tren interior 2021 berdasarkan pendapat profesional. Namun, UKM rotan di Surabaya tidak banyak jika dibandingkan rotan yang sebagian besar(70%) dari populasi dunia ada di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, perlu pengembangan pada UKM rotan di Surabaya. Penelitian ini adalah eksperimen untuk mendesain produk set home decoration bermaterial rotan dalam tampilan yang baru yaitu pada interior kontemporer. Selama pandemi covid-19, orang mulai di rumahnya dan akhirnya menata rumahnya sehingga interior tahun 2021 akan terpengaruh mengikuti dunia yang terus berubah dan pandemi yang berkepanjangan. Berdasarkan tren 2021, beberapa hal bisa dipadukan seperti material ramah lingkungan, mengandung nilai seni, dan nuansa etnik. Ketiganya dapat diimplementasikan pada rumah yang bisa disebut interior kontemporer dimana definisi kontemporer adalah masa kini, penggabungan beberapa gaya. Material ramah lingkungan juga akan menjadi solusi dari permasalahan yang muncul di 2020 seperti rotan yang karakteristiknya natural, menggambarkan material etnik Indonesia yang sifatnya mudah dibentuk. Dibalik jumlah rotan yang melimpah, keberadaan UKM yang mengolah rotan di Surabaya hanya sedikit. Beberapa faktornya adalah tidak banyaknya pengrajin rotan dan bahan baku yang hanya bisa diperoleh dari luar Surabaya, serta tampilan produk rotan yang belum terlalu berkembang jika dibandingkan dengan dulu. Namun, UKM di Surabaya tetap mengusahakan untuk bisa terus bertahan dan memproduksi produk rotan. Dengan adanya hal tersebut, rotan bisa dikembangkan untuk menjaga eksistensinya sehingga peneliti melakukan eksperimen terhadap material rotan untuk diolah menjadi set produk home decoration. Dalam eksperimen peneliti mencoba membuat pola anyam baru yang dimodifikasi dari pola anyam yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Selain itu, peneliti membuat produk rotan dengan memadukan material lain seperti plastic 3dprint dimana menggunakan 3dprint memakan biaya dan membutuhkan kemampuan khusus dalam 3dmodelling sehingga peneliti memutuskan menggunakan kayu dikarenakan UKM rotan bisa bekerja sama dengan tukang kayu. Desain dari set home menggunakan gaya asimetris pada produk rotan untuk mencerminkan gaya kontemporer yang bebas.

Abstract

21st-century learning, especially the skills that are crucial in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is very important to develop, one of which is through discussion. However, the implementation of discussion dominated by presentations is often monotonous and focuses only on results, not the process. This encourages students to simply copy and read, indicating that the development of 21st-century skills is not yet optimal. To address this issue, this study proposes a modified version of the Jenga game designed to facilitate student discussions on flood mitigation and make learning more enjoyable. This design applies the SCAMPER method, specifically the aspects of Substitute, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, and Combine. The results of the study show that this modified Jenga successfully accommodates small group discussions among students, allowing teachers to directly monitor their performance. Additionally, this game makes learning more enjoyable, especially with the “steal your opponent's block” rule, which increases student interaction and enthusiasm.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of text-to-image Generative AI (GenAI) into design education, focusing on its potential to enhance creativity and ideation, as well as its limitations. Conducted with students from two Indonesian universities, the research highlights how GenAI supports design experimentation in culture-inspired works. While GenAI offers valuable ideation support, students encounter challenges with prompt specificity, cultural relevance, and technical accuracy, suggesting that GenAI is more effective as a conceptual tool than as a final design solution. Additionally, although students demonstrate technological readiness, they often overlook ethical considerations, underscoring a need for structured guidance on responsible usage. The findings suggest that incorporating GenAI into design curricula has the potential to support creative exploration by using looser prompts to provoke imagination. However, teachers must assist students in using it to promote ethical awareness and preserve their unique styles.
