The bio-informed concept, which means “designing by learning from nature’s best ideas” as an approach, method, tool, discipline or strategy, is one of the most important research areas of today. It does not only shape designs, but also is based on collaborative/interactive/creative methods in education and can be integrated with contemporary educational approaches. This paper questions how to translate the bio-knowledge, which can be an effective and useful method for developing designers’ skills such as system-thinking, innovative thinking and problem-based learning, to design education in an easy and understandable way. In this context, the method of determining and applying biological phenomena/systems into architectural design process through the “natural language approach” is investigated. With this research, it is aimed to open the way to reach more innovative and sustainable solutions by establishing a bridge between architectural and biological terminology while creating architectural structures. It has been shown how to increase the biodiversity utilized for bio-informed solutions in the architectural field by proposing a systematic approach to search for biological systems. From this point of view, this study emphasizes the importance of promoting the bio-informed design approach, increasing interdisciplinary relationships and orienting individuals to nature for creativity and sustainability.

Human Centred Design

Over that last few decades there has been a significant rise in interest for design-led entrepreneurship and innovation. This has brought about the need to expand on the principles and methods of human-centred design by incorporating knowledge from multiple disciplines, such as management, business, and entrepreneurship studies. This expansion aids designers, engineers, and marketing practitioners who strive to create innovative, meaningful and relevant services, business models and experiences. More often than not, ventures operate under very limited resources, and practitioners are often required to fulfil several roles. The concept of ‘multidisciplinary teams’ widely spread in this sphere often bears little resonance in these contexts. Designers possess valuable competencies that can have a significant impact on the venture, especially driving user and context-centred strategy and processes for the introduction, legitimization and scaling-up stages. However, engaging with these areas of practice requires skills and capacities that overlap traditional disciplinary roles. In doing so, the boundaries between design and engineering, branding and communications, cultural and behavioural insight, marketing and management strategy are blurred. As educators in design innovation, how do we explore, define and balance interdisciplinary relationships between design, engineering, management, business and entrepreneurship theories, methods, language and models of education? The purpose of the entrepreneurship in design education track is to discuss methods, models, case studies, research, insights and unexpected knowledge in benefits and limitations of design entrepreneurship education. In particular, the three papers presented in this track demonstrate different approaches to entrepreneurship and design education.

This paper aims at discussing the potentials of bottom-up design practices in relation to the latest developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by making an in-depth review of inaugural cases. The first part of the study involves a literature study and the elaboration of basic strategies from the case study. The second part reframes the existing ICT tools and strategies and elaborates on their potentials to support the modes of participation performed in these cases. As a result, by distilling the created knowledge, the study reveals the potentials of novel modes of ICT-enabled design participation which exploit a set of collective action tools to support sustainable ways of self-organization and bottom-up design. The final part explains the relevance of these with solid examples and presents a hypothetical case for future implementation. The paper concludes with a brief reflection on the implications of the findings for the future of architectural design education.

One of the main causes of accidents at hazardous production facilities of oil and gas production is the inefficient work of production control over compliance with industrial safety requirements. At present there are no criteria for its assessment in the Russian legislation. It is established in the study that that production control in the industrial safety management system performs the role of «control» in accordance with the Shewhart-Deming cycle PDCA, and its main function is to work with nonconformities. In connection with the above, it is proposed to approach production control not only from the point of view of the process, but also from the system approach. To assess the system functioning, the criteria of «effectiveness», «efficiency», «integral indicator» are considered. It is established that from the point of view of proactivity in achieving the goals of production control, the most preferable is the assessment of the integral indicator of the production control system functioning. The considered existing and possible approaches to the assessment of the production control system and the statistical processing of the results of the expert assessment of nineteen parameters confirmed the need for a systematic approach. Based on this, the hypothesis of the production control system functioning is proposed and statistically substantiated, and four main parameters for calculating the integral indicator of the production control system functioning are considered. The built mathematical model based on the fuzzy logic clearly demonstrates the dependence of the integral indicator of the production control system functioning on the considered input parameters. The proposed proactive approach to the assessment of the production control system through nonconformity management is universal and applicable to the «control» function of any control system. It can also be used in the work of Rostechnadzor and be an incentive for enterprises to improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the production control system.

Abstract: At present, requirements and development in architectural design lead to the concept of sustainable architecture that is environmentally responsible. The application of sustainable architecture itself must be following the rules in architecture, but still, pay attention to environmental conditions. This topic was chosen to find out how to use sustainable materials in buildings with sustainable architectural concepts both in exterior and interior space. This study aims to find out regarding the understanding of the concept of sustainable architecture and how to use it from the application of sustainable materials to exterior space and interior space in office buildings. As an object of research, the Akanoma architecture studio office building is located in Padalarang, Kab. West Bandung. The application of sustainable architecture is observed in the expression of exterior and space in buildings, as well as the impact of these aspects on the environment. The boundary scope of this study is the utilization of sustainable material applications in terms of patterns, textures and material colors in the exterior and interior space in the building. This study uses qualitative research methods that attempt to analyze objects by describing objects from the point of view and interpretation of individuals (informants) in a natural setting. Study analysis refers to data from field observations based on aspects of architectural appearance in the form of exterior and interior space. The results of the study show that the application of sustainable architecture to the Akanoma Studio office building is an ecologically well-applied approach. This study is carried out in the hope that it can be useful to become knowledge and references regarding the use of sustainable material applications in exterior space and interior space in buildings.Keywords: Sustainable Architecture, Sustainable Material, in Expression of Exterior and Space Abstrak:Saat ini, persyaratan dan perkembangan dalam desain arsitektur menuju pada konsep arsitektur berkelanjutan yang tanggap terhadap lingkungan.
