In the field of design, activities to develop form, application materials, production processes and product functions lead to eco-design, which is an opportunity to use urban waste for supporting daily human activities and aesthetic values, reducing dependence on nature and also conserving resources. The various wastes experimented with were office paper, plastic packaging, paper packaging, dry leaves, plastic bags and a mix of them. Numerous experimental steps were taken to produce aesthetic elements by utilising these wastes as prime material. A systematic procedure was applied and using aesthetic elements, an aesthetic board was made. It was seen that there is a possibility to create Indonesian ornamental patterns with these wastes. The results show that urban wastes have great potential as material for aesthetic elements of interior design. This study was conducted on the basis of the culture, natural resources and social behaviour of Indonesia as an agrarian country. Keywords: Urban waste, alternative material, aesthetic element, interior design, Indonesian ornament.

The city of Surabaya is the second largest city after Jakarta and of course is inhabited by millions of peoplewho produce trash every day, especially plastic waste which is mostly produced from used food containers,plastic cups, straws and plastic bags. Various methods are used by the government to overcome this problemso that the city of Surabaya can become a cleaner and more beautiful city. One community in Surabaya calledthe Waste Recycling Project is a caring community, focusing on the waste recycling activities in Surabaya.The Waste Recycling Project community is able to change the form (transformation) of waste into functionalgoods. This encourages this community to have a place where it can be developed into a community tourismdestination with a Human Centered Design approach where people and tourists can come to visit the WasteRecycling Project to tour and learn together about plastic waste management. This interior design is focusedon designing a community place that can accommodate gathering activities for service learning, space forplastic waste recycle workshop activities, and as a forum for aspirations of creative ideas as well as a gatheringplace for people who have interests and concerns for the surrounding environment.

The direction of the implementation of this study is to reduce dependence on natural resources and preserve them from extinction, especially timber natural resources. Green design content is a systematic implementation in each stage. An initial idea was to find an alternative building material that was environmentally friendly. One of the implementations is conducting experiments on panel production from paper waste materials. Paper panels that have the same capabilities as pre-existing panel products. The aim is to make it an interior design material for building, both for construction and aesthetic functions. The consideration of the selection of panel materials is the wide scope of utilization, flexibility, easy treatment, and factors of people who are used to it. In full, this type of paper waste contains forms that are fatty, limp and fragile. This character strongly supports the implementation of that perception. Furthermore, this character becomes a stimulus to bring up the manufacturing method, which is a vertical cross-configuration, which uses limp and fragile sheet paper and then arranged into a panel area with a thickness of 20 mm which requires hard, sturdy, and strong properties.

A set of resource-functional determinants of sustainable management has been determined, substantiated and formed using the scientific-natural and methodological principles of physical economy. They are represented by various forms of organization, development and transformation of the natural environment in the format of a mega- model of purposeful influence and management of four physiocratic resource bases. They recognized: natural resource processes (material, energy and natural resources); production processes (technological resources); societal processes (information base and social communicative alarm connections); economic processes (organizational and economic resources). The applied tools for determining the order of search, accumulation and involvement of four physiocratic resource bases to ensure and targeted localization of efforts of management entities that take care of key sets of tasks in the field of sustainable management at different levels of management of different dynamic systems. The latter are recognized as territorial natural and economic entities, national and regional socio-economic systems, which currently operate in resource constraints with the ever-increasing socio-political, economic and resource threats and risks to sustainable development of the state and its regions. It is recommended to develop applied tools, permanently refining the sequence of procedures when changing external conditions, through the use of scientific and natural provisions of physical economy, systems theory and turbulence in order to: a) initiate signs of laminarity of four basic processes (economic, social, industrial and natural resource); b) prevention of turbulent shifts. Taking into account the principles of identifying the complexity of the trajectories of the channels and their ability to adjust allowed to establish: the sequence of balancing the turbulent features of the channel of the implementation of processes: natural resources, production, societal, economic, priority of adjustment, first of all, of natural resource and production processes among others.

Impurity and contaminated waste of flexible plastic packaging will not be viable as raw materials for secondary recycling. This problem could be avoided by repetitive implementation of material value conservation through material purity protection since the product design activities up to the end of packaging life cycle. This paradigm also creates new sequential life cycles of products rather than once when only virgin materials were used as raw materials. With repetitive implementation of material value conservation and serial testing in a polymer laboratory, a type of virgin plastic pellet recycled up to the 8th stage of secondary recycling, and then the mechanical properties of materials tested according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. This research revealed that flexible plastic packaging materials that managed by Material Value Conservation (MVC) implementations were suitable for secondary recycling in producing the viable quality of recycled plastic pellets in mechanical properties measures, and leverage the potential of virgin plastic pellets utilization. Because of MVC implementations protected the purity of materials intensively, and then increased the value of recycled plastic pellets as raw materials for the new life cycle of plastic products.

The process of design explicates the procedural knowledge of design activities, shifting theoretical conceptions across practical dimensions. Design thinking, as a creative and innovative methodology, has been established as a designerly process for non-designers to address complex problems. This article reviews the implications of introducing the design thinking methodology as a pedagogical approach in design education at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore, generating new knowledge to inform the research spaces of design practice and theory. Using the design thinking methodology as a sound framework to facilitate risk-taking decisions in design research and practice, students from the design specialisms of Design Communication, Product Design and Interior Design were inducted into an interdisciplinary project. The perspectives and insights arising from the collaborative, design thinking methodology are extracted, analysed and adapted to form a framework to illustrate the non-linear, circular structures of knowledge generation from theory (designerly knowing) to practice (design thinking) and research (design knowing).

Chemical Migration

The widespread use of plastic packaging for storing, transporting, and conveniently preparing or serving foodstuffs is significantly contributing to the global plastic pollution crisis. This has led to many efforts directed toward amending plastic packaging’s end of life, such as recycling, or alternative material approaches, like increasingly using paper for food packaging. But these approaches often neglect the critical issue of chemical migration: When contacting foodstuffs, chemicals that are present in packaging transfer into food and thus unwittingly become part of the human diet. Hazardous chemicals, such as endocrine disrupters, carcinogens, or substances that bioaccumulate, are collectively referred to as “chemicals of concern.” They can transfer from plastic packaging into food, together with other unknown or toxicologically uncharacterized chemicals. This chemical transfer is scientifically undisputed and makes plastic packaging a known, and avoidable, source of human exposure to synthetic, hazardous, and untested chemicals. Here, I discuss this issue and highlight aspects in need of improvement, namely the way that chemicals present in food packaging are assessed for toxicity. Further, I provide an outlook on how chemical contamination from food packaging could be addressed in the future. Robust innovations must attempt systemic change and tackle the issue of plastic pollution and chemical migration in a way that integrates all existing knowledge.

Many of cultural heritages of the past are detting less known by the present generation. One of which is a pawukon figures and their aesthetic values. Pawukon is a Javanese prediction or calculation based on Hindu mythology regarding time and its association with the prediction of human life based on their wuku (time characteristics). There are 30 pawukon figures, from the Wuku Sinta figure to Wuku Watugunung figure accompanied by a picture of their respective deities. Pawukon figures can be found in primbon books or enlarged and displayed in the interiors of Javanese houses. Pawukon figures such as wayang purwa are equipped with figures of buildings or gedhong, figures of weapons, figures of various types of trees, birds and other figures which each have a certain purpose and meaning. The composition of the various elements makes the overall visuals very interesting to be explored regarding the concept of visual, visual aesthetics and meaning. The pawukon figures also needs to be studied aesthetically regarding to their placement in the Javanese home interior and how to develop them to be better known by the present generation. To explore the aesthetics and development of Pawukon figures, the concept of wangun (aesthetic) derived from the Javanese culture was used. The research findings were interesting because the pawukon figures have the wangun elements and wangun visual arrangenments, wangun placement, and the development of the pawukon figures which is related to the concept of wangun and ora wangun (not aesthetic) or aèng (strange). Pawukon figures were made to remind people to be cautious, and their applications and development into interior design were meant to present the atmosphere of Java.Banyak warisan budaya masa lalu yang kurang dikenal oleh generasi sekarang. Salah satunya adalah angka-angka pawukon dan nilai-nilai estetika mereka. Pawukon adalah prediksi atau perhitungan Jawa berdasarkan mitologi Hindu tentang waktu dan hubungannya dengan prediksi kehidupan manusia berdasarkan wuku mereka (karakteristik waktu). Ada 30 tokoh pawukon, mulai dari tokoh Wuku Sinta hingga tokoh Wuku Watugunung yang disertai gambar dewa masing-masing. Tokoh-tokoh Pawukon dapat ditemukan di buku-buku primbon atau diperbesar dan dipajang di interior rumah-rumah Jawa. Tokoh Pawukon seperti wayang purwa dilengkapi dengan tokoh-tokoh bangunan atau gedhong, tokoh-tokoh senjata, tokoh berbagai jenis pohon, burung dan tokoh-tokoh lain yang masing-masing memiliki tujuan dan makna tertentu. Komposisi dari berbagai elemen membuat keseluruhan visual sangat menarik untuk dieksplorasi mengenai konsep visual, estetika visual dan makna. Tokoh-tokoh pawukon juga perlu dipelajari secara estetis mengenai penempatannya di interior rumah Jawa dan bagaimana mengembangkannya agar lebih dikenal oleh generasi sekarang. Untuk mengeksplorasi estetika dan perkembangan tokoh Pawukon, konsep wangun (estetika) yang berasal dari budaya Jawa digunakan. Temuan penelitian ini menarik karena tokoh pawukon memiliki unsur-unsur wangun dan wangun pengaturan visual, penempatan wangun, dan pengembangan tokoh-tokoh pawukon yang terkait dengan konsep wangun dan ora wangun (bukan estetika) atau aèng (aneh). Sosok-sosok Pawukon dibuat untuk mengingatkan orang agar berhati-hati, dan aplikasi serta pengembangan mereka ke dalam desain interior dimaksudkan untuk menghadirkan suasana Jawa.

Egyptian heritage is known to be a result of many great civilizations. With various traditional elements and special features that add prominence to its cultural aspects, it carries magnificent aesthetic values and visual forms. Nonetheless, and due to the different nature of the cities and provinces in Egypt, styles and features in each region have taken different paths. For instance, Ancient Egyptians influenced some areas while others were more affected by Islamic or Coptic civilizations. Some regions were preserved in Nubian folk art heritage form. In the past, the country had a clear and unique identity that reflected its characteristics, environmental benefits and socio-cultural attributes. However, today the identity is faded and is nearly completely wiped by Western notions erasing our ideas, identities, and thoughts. This study focuses on the elements of heritage, their impact on people and the way these elements inspire interior architecture, form and psychology.This study aims to discern the elements of heritage and identify the character and special criteria of each civilization such as the Ancient Egyptian, Islamic and Nubian folk art heritage with special references and clarifications as to the criteria of reviving the traditional identity in contemporary interior design. This study will also include an analysis of user preferences in relation to discussed features.
