Comparative studies of Owen Jones and Christopher Alexander Related to Pattern Design and Cultural Knowledge

Owen Jones and Christopher Alexander are two architects who explored design in different years, so their perspective and exploration in patterns design are distinctive. The comparative analysis between these two architects will start from the different standpoint of “pattern” definition introduced by each architect and continue with a description about the way that the theories of each architect relates to the classification of pattern design and cultural knowledge. Keywords: Owen Jones, Christopher Alexander, Ornament, pattern design, computatio

Critique of Multicultural Perspectives

Bryan Fay published a book titled "Contemporary Philosophy of Social Science: A Multicultural Approach," in 1996. His mainly argue, "a dualistic ways of thinking [which] predominates [...] the philosophy of social science." (Pg. 223). Fay developed a new way to approach the philosophy of social science called multiculturalism. There is a growing development of social science in a multicultural approach, and Fay's premises contributed to the Multicultural Philosophy of Social Science. This essay will elaborate Fay's dialectical view and how multicultural approach should find a synergy and understanding, moreover, it also explains the incomplete statement of Fay by describing example and the writer own experience

Contemporary Issues in Architecture and Design

Architecture develops an extensive history from the establishment of civilization. In the beginning, humans need shelter as protection from sun, rain, animals and nature; shelter was the simplest temporary construction at that time. Since humans started inserting permanent settlements, development of architecture has been started. A slow and gradual process required deep understanding of thought in knowledge and practice of architectural field. Accordingly, these theories and practices enhance architecture to be learned into academic curriculum. In this paper, the author will deliberate the overview of architecture disciplines

Review of Studies in Pattern Analysis

Understanding perspective from the artisans is the unique approach in this study since most of the studies in pattern analysis and classification ignore the individuals or artisans who design and create the patterns. Most of the research about pattern analysis has been conducted by surveying the patterns or collecting the data from the reliable sources without trying to engage with the artisans and understand their culture and worldview. The pattern analysis that does not take into consideration the creators’ perspectives will be misguided, since it proceeds from the researcher’s limited interpretation of the patterns, without any regard for the context in which the patterns were created and appreciated Keywords: pattern analysis, symmetry, classification, cultural insigh

CRITIQUE OF METHOD IN SOCIAL SCIENCE

Science as a knowledge has two main parts, those are social science and natural science. Natural science has precise measurement of an object while social science as a science of person or group or collective behavior is uneasy to measure, thus it made many outsiders felt doubt in social scientism. Sayer through the book of ‘Method in Social Science’ attempts to reveal hesitation from outsiders by showing some reflection in social science knowledge, since these two main sciences has interdependencies within each other. In this paper, author will examine the content of the book concerning method in social science

DESING METHOD IN TRACING KNOWN DESIGN: KEKETUSAN BALINESE ORNAMENTATION

Abstract. There are three different categories of ornamentation in Ba- linese traditional building, keketusan, pepatran, and kekarangan, all used as decorative patterns for centuries and is a cultural legacy. This study focuses on the Keketusan group of patterns, and concentrates on analysis of four patterns under keketusan group: kakul-kakulan, kup- ing guling, mas-masan, and batun timun. This study borrows the prin- ciple of symmetry analysis and shape grammar, in an attempt to sys- tematically define the cultural legacy present in the keketusan pattern. A chart developed by Washburn and Crowe is used to define sym- metry principle and then is used to determine the shape grammar of a pattern that consists of initial shape and spatial relations or rules. Keywords. Shape grammar; keketusan; symmetry analysis; initial shape; rule

THE IMPROVEMENT OF ENDEK WEAVING PATTERN DESIGN WITH DIGITAL APPLICATION AT PERTENUNAN ASTITI IN BALI THROUGH A STRUCTURED TRAINING

An improvement and enhancement of Endek weaving pattern design are essential. Particularly with a condition where Endek weaving currently is entering the consumer market. The center weaving place and weavers are expected to produce Endek weaving textiles with creative pat- terns in a shorter period of time compared to previous one. Therefore, digital apps become a solution for the weavers. In addition to that, training is required in order (1) to teach the dig- ital app to the weavers, pattern makers, and young generations who have a passion for Endek weaving textiles, and (2) to educate the users on how to translate the pattern designs into the calculation of the weft threads –the pattern in Endek is created on the weft threads. This train- ing is divided into two sessions, where the first session is reserved for the public and the second session is reserved for the weavers and pattern makers. At the end of the session, the partici- pants are expected to master designing patterns through the digital application. This training is not only focusing on the weavers but also public or young generations in order to preserve the culture in weaving Endek, especially in the design process.
