Functional and aesthetical evaluation of landscape was used in the framework of Project QF4061 Landscape Plan of a Microregion in connection with the proposal of landscape measures to be taken in an important watercourse. As a part of the project the methodology of functional and aesthetical evaluation of landscape was defined as a method of landscape spatial planning. The methodology consists in the creation of landscape “matrix” as a landscape network of a definite size. The criteria of evaluation of the particular squares of this landscape matrix were defined in the framework of methodology. The defined criteria are not invariable, but they are always related with the type of landscape to be evaluated. By the attribution of scores according to the defined criteria to the particular squares of landscape matrix these squares may be compared in a simple way. Such evaluation provides some categories of the aesthetic value of landscape that define the functional and aesthetic landscape spaces. Applying the result of this evaluation and other knowledge of the landscape we will get a more comprehensive view on landscape. The functional and aesthetic evaluation of landscape may substantially contribute to the more complex understanding of a given territory in which landscape measures are to be proposed in subsequent project documentation. The methodology is simple and easily feasible in practice.

The aim of this study is to extend the rationale and comprehensive understanding in respect of the notion of functionality and beauty in the smart skin buildings. Smart skin in buildings plays a key role in improving building functionality, and the future lies in the use of innovative smart skin strategies. The methodology focused on the objectivity and subjectivity of human perception to assess the aesthetic value of a building's smart skin. A theoretical analysis has been conducted based on the results of the investigation model and fortified by comparing the results with the findings obtained through the opinions of experts based in AHP methodology. The study demonstrates that there is a relation between both the aesthetic value and the functionality of the smart skin of a building. The findings revealed the difference in the aesthetic evaluation between the subjective functionality and the objective functionality of the building skin. The findings contribute useful evidence for the promotion of our understanding regarding the aesthetic value of the smart skin of a building, based on its functionality.

Abstract In recent years, the construction of urban forest parks has run into the fast lane in China. As an indispensable natural landscape resource for urban forest parks, forest landscape has been paid increasing attentions by the public, in contrast, less effort has been made in the field of aesthetic evaluation of forest landscape. Based on the theories of landscape esthetics and psychology, this paper aims to present methods for the aesthetic evaluation, and understand citizen’s aesthetic perceptions of forest landscape using Semantic Differential (SD) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. Moreover, further suggestions will be put forward for a better development of the forest landscape, thereby giving full play to their landscape and recreation functions. As per the findings of this paper, the vegetation element diversity (PC 1 ), the magnificent feel (PC 2 ), the nature-pastoral feel (PC 3 ) and the sense of space (PC 4 ) present the critical comprehensive indexes affecting the aesthetic values of the forest landscape. The relationship between the comprehensive indexes and the landscape aesthetic value is revealed by multiple regression analyses. PC 3 and PC 4 are found to be less influencing on aesthetic values than PC 1 and PC 2 . At last, three suggestions for the construction and protection of forest landscape are put forward. The results of this study will contribute to the preservation of the forest landscape aesthetic, and the integration of these conclusions into the sustainable development strategies of urban forest parks.

The approach used in the creation is an aesthetic approach, the method used is based on the aesthetic values embodied in art. Aesthetic is the main objective in the creation of works derived from the shape of a Human. Terms of design that has been studied in the study of art as craft unconscious part spontaneously out of the standard values in making the creation of craft art, starting from sketches to the final stage. Semiotics is used in the creation of works of art craft is semiotics Charles Sanders Peirce - sign approach based on the idea of a philosopher and thinker United clever, Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) is the method used to determine whether a work of art has meaning symbol, index, and icon. This approach is actually used as the meaning of the meaning and purpose of the philosophical. In this case, the artist commented aesthetic value and his symbolization, artists explore the beauty, the uniqueness of the shape of a human and then pour it into the leather craft three-dimensional and two-dimensional. And artists have chosen the concept of human as a concept in leather craft work.Keyword: Creation, Craft, Leather and the Making Process  Jurnal Penciptaan ini memiliki judul "human, humanity, and humanities". Penulis ingin mengetahui simbol unik tentang manusia dan mengaplikasikannya dalam bentuk instalasi seni.

Abstract: UPI campus is an educational environment which accommodates a variety of academic activities that are organized and arranged according to the hierarchy and activity needs. Activities on campus increased, as does the intensity of a movement which is not fit with the availability of compelling and informative signage within the campus. These research proses are started with an observation and collecting data about the quality of signage in the UPI campus area. The data then compared with the basic principles of signage design as part of the wayfinding process and the suitability of the design to the aesthetic value of the signage as part of environmental graphic design. This research is expected to bring benefits in the science of Environmental Graphic Design, which is an incision between architecture and graphic design science field. This research also expected to be contributed for the UPI campus development, and also provide an alternative design in campus spatial planning policy that improves the quality of campuses landscape.Keywords: Signage; Wayfinding; campus. Abstrak: Kampus Universitas Pendidikan indonesia (UPI) merupakan kawasan kampus Induk UPI yang menampung berbagai macam aktivitas perkuliahan dan aktivitas akademik yang tertata dan tersusun berdasarkan hierarki dan kebutuhan ruang.

This chapter argues that (1) in contrast to the art forms already discussed, the ethical criticism of which sometimes invites the perspectivist approach and sometimes demands the production-oriented approach, the proper ethical criticism of environmental art requires the production-oriented approach; (2) the production-oriented approach to the ethical criticism of environmental artworks lends support to the moderate moralist’s claim about the interaction of ethical and aesthetic value: the presences of ethical defects in environmental artworks sometimes diminishes their aesthetic value; (3) because environmental artworks appropriate part of the natural environment as an aspect of their identity, an aesthetic flaw in an environmental artwork necessarily also creates aesthetic disvalue in the natural environment—disvalue that exists in virtue of the creation of the artwork. Insofar as the diminishment of the aesthetic value of the natural environment is ethically wrong, the aesthetic flaws of an environmental artwork necessarily constitute ethical flaws.

This paper considers the fundamental problem of artificial lighting in various types and scales of industrial facilities, focusing on exterior lighting design solutions. There is a lack of interest from investors, customers and society in high­quality lighting design for industrial facilities in Russia, which in many cities are very imaginative structures, practically unused in the evening. Architectural lighting of various types of installations is illustrated with photographs. The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the aesthetic value of industrial structures, provided not only by the architectural, but also by a welldesigned lighting solution.

Considers the aspects of architecture as a language able to express the current state and to prophetically indicate the upcoming changes. The aesthetic value of a construction cannot be perceived just as a separate entity, but it can be cognized in the context and not only a visual one, in space. It is necessary to see the entire complex of the accompanying phenomena, all the flow of the unfolding metaphors and values. In the model in view the figure of the author-creator must be reconsidered as no longer conforming to today's reality. The development of the Stalinist Empire style, as well as its transformations, is considered as one of the specific phenomena in the history of well-known constructions

<em>The process of folding clothes is one of the activities carried out in the laundry business or household. The activity is fairly easy but many people are still lazy to do it. As a result, clothes that have been washed will fall apart in certain rooms, thereby reducing the aesthetic value of a home. Semi Automatic T-Shirt Folding Machine is the right solution to make folding clothes easier and more time efficient. This tool is equipped with a servo motor that moves the folding board that has been designed in such a way that the user only needs to manghandle the shirt just once and simply push one button then the shirt will fold itself and will be neatly arranged through the clothes stacker board. The PID method is applied to DC motors that move under the clothes folder so that the buildup of clothes underneath will not be pressured upward when the clothes are piled up when they are folded. Ultrasonic sensor will measure the right height between the clothes with the door opening the stacking clothes with kp = 1, ki = 0.1, kd = 0.5 for thin clothes and kp = 5, ki = 1, kd = 2.5 for thick clothes so that the movement of the motor can adjust its speed . This tool can fold one shirt in 16.83 seconds 11 seconds faster than folding clothes manually</em>

This study aims to examine the decorative types of Gorontalo karawo fabrics in aesthetic and symbolic elements. Researchers want to know as made in the research design, aspects that are present in the decoration of fabrics in aesthetic and symbolic elements. This study uses a number of related theories to get results, and as a determinant, the authors use aesthetic theory, as well as historical approaches. With this theoretical basis, the author seeks to describe the aesthetic aspects and symbolic meanings that exist in Gorontalo karawo fabric. Through the data collection of the chosen motif and provide a classification of motives, the part is used as a reference for research material. The results showed that Gorontalo filigree had an aesthetic value consisting of unity formed from the overall decorative motifs displayed, complexity formed by complexity in the manufacturing process, and intensity of seriousness in the manufacturing process or the impression displayed on the filigree motif. The aesthetic form also reflects the diversity of meanings for communication, such as the symbol of a leader with his noble instincts, a symbol of cultural cooperation, which is worth maintaining, and ideas about nature conservation. This research proves that the decoration in Gorontalo filigree cloth (karawo) does not only act as a visual value, but also as a communication of cultural meanings and social status. Of all these distinctive motifs show a relationship between humans and humans and humans with nature. The influence of culture from the Philippines is also known to have a strong influence on the emergence of the Gorontalo filigree namely manila filigree.

A theory of aesthetic value should help us to make sense of how our aesthetic commitments matter to us as members of collectives. Aesthetic policies endogenous to aesthetic practices are directly justified by the network theory. The chapter looks at what aesthetic reasons we have to adopt exogenous aesthetic policies. Many argue that aesthetic practices deserve public support because aesthetic goods are public goods. A case is made for an aesthetic opportunity principle: larger social groups have reason to foster the aesthetic opportunities available to their members. The principle is applied to arts education and to communication technologies subserving aesthetic exchanges. The chapter ends with a discussion of how aesthetic opportunity interacts with—and can potentially counteract—oppressive social structures.
