The Role of Multi-Function Furniture in the Pandemic Era

A D Shaleh — 2022-06-18

Measuring how effective multifunctional furniture is in the industry, knowing the benefits of multi-functional furniture for activities and interior design issue, ensuring that multi-functional furniture has been made based on ergonomic principles, and researching the positive impact of multi-functional furniture on the community. The objective of this study is to identify the role of the multi-functional chair as a new solution in the creation of facilities to support e-learning and remote work. The qualitative method was tested on 100 respondents from the general public with various professional backgrounds. The results of the efficiency of multi-functional furniture based on ergonomic considerations and design principles show that multifunctional furniture has a very high level of efficiency. Most people are satisfied with the availability of multi-functional furniture that can help them in their daily activities. Having multi-functional furniture can simplify daily activities and can be a solution for interior problems.

International Men’s Day: The Awareness, Significance, Challenges, and Logo Design Proposal

Francis Olawale Abulude — 2022-06-18

International Men's Day allows people to recognize and honor men in their lives. This annual event is held on November 19 to honor men's socioeconomic achievements, cultural, and political. Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a history professor at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago found International Men's Day in 1999. However, it is more than just a celebration of men's positive contributions to society; it is also a campaign to promote gender equality. The challenge today is how to promote the message through effective media so that it can reach all organizations and all levels of society. A logo as a symbol of an organization should reflect the goals and message of the group. Through the media of the logo, the meaning of International Men's Day is expected to be easily disseminated. The message of IMD 2021 is “Better relations between men and women”.

The Effect of Technology in The Development of Interior Design in Today's Digital Age

H Hendriyani — 2022-06-18

In the digital era, technology is increasingly developing, affecting the development of science and various other aspects. The development of digital technology can have a big influence in the field of interior design, both in the field of education and the profession to help create works. In the digital era, manual methods are now being replaced by technology, even though the fact is that there are still some designers who use manual methods in creating their work. The purpose of this paper is to find out what are the effects of technology in the development of interior design in today's digital era. The method used in writing is a literature study, by conducting research from the related literature. From the results of the literature study, it can be concluded that digital technology has an effect on making it easier to make the interior design process as well as assisting in adaptability for the future. This paper discusses how the influence of technology in the development of interior design in the current digital era, both in the field of education and the profession. Technology in the development of interior design in the digital era now greatly influences a designer in helping to create works more easily and efficiently.

Reading Lasem Heritage Buildings as Cultural Tourism Sustainability: A Phenomenological Perspective

Tessa Eka Darmayanti — 2022-06-18

In recent years, Lasem tourism has grown, especially about historical buildings. However, the tourism sector has experienced a decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Various strategies are carried out by the local peoples and also foundations that care about Lasem, to restore the economic situation and continue to strive to maintain the culture in it. This study aims to determine the tourism promotion strategy in Lasem, which involves historic buildings. This study uses a qualitative approach and a phenomenological point of view to enrich the discussion. The results showed that by reading the tangible value of the building, its cultural meaning was obtained, which became a notable element in tourism marketing. It can be beneficial for local governments and owners of cultural heritage buildings to boost the economy in the tourism sector. At the same time emphasizes that cultural values are a significant part of tourism that can make a place survive because it has a distinctive character and identity.

Design of Heat Exchanger for The Production of Synthesis Nio-Nanoparticles

Nyoman Ayu Kristinawati — 2022-06-18

The aim of this study is to analyze a heat exchanger in a NiO synthesis process using the sol-gel method. Calculation of the heat exchanger specifications obtained shell length of 0.889 mm, shell diameter of 0.03 mm, outer tube diameter of 0.0254 m, inner diameter of 0.023 mm, wall thickness of 0.000889 mm, tube length of 5.4864, and tube pitch 0.02778. Based on the calculations performed through Microsoft Excel, the results show that the heat exchanger design on the shell and tube that fits is a laminar flow type, with an effectiveness of 96.40%. Therefore, this heat exchanger with shell and tube one meets the requirements and standards based on effectiveness, but without the calculation of the fouling factor. Nevertheless, the results of this analysis can be used as a learning medium in the design process, heat exchanger performance analysis, and operating mechanism.

A Design Case: Identification, Analysis, and Redesign Simulation for Scientia Square Park's Environmental Graphic Design

Brian Alvin Hananto — 2023-01-31

This article provides a design case on a redesign project simulation for Scientia Square Park’s environmental graphic design. Scientia Square Park is an outdoor family recreation place with various activities for children and adults. The site’s existing environmental graphic design had several issues that implicate the possibility of a redesign to enhance the effectiveness of the design. For the project, the authors had to identify and analyze the existing structure to obtain insights and areas of improvement for the redesign. The redesign simulation includes identification, directional, orientation, and regulatory signages, which had been prototyped in a 3D mockup. Overall, the design simulation provides a reference on how comprehensive understanding is necessary for an environmental graphic design project.
