DESIGN AND CULTURAL

Design and Culture
Considering the number of questions about why a designer needs to understand the culture and the culture, what is the need to understand history, what is the need for methodological thinking in support of the design process in general, then this description is as welcome insight in order to achieve a shared understanding of the close link between design and culture.

THEORY OF DESIGN
I. Invention, Discovery and Innovation
In natural science, or science of natural phenomena, scientists working with the aim of seeking novelty in the proof of which must be achieved, this process is called To Discovery.
Then what is called the Invention and what's the difference with the discovery? Invention can be interpreted as treating something that already exists, while the discovery is something that has been there and then found, Vasco da Gamma sebgai example find an island is a discovery.
Invention belongs to anyone, whether a scientist, enjinir, designers and even an artist can find the invention.
For illustration, when the neuroscience finding ago chromosome encourage medical world evolved into a diagnosis based on DNA is the invention, when Leonardo da Vinci painting Mona Lisa is considered to create something new, even if the object is to imitate, he also found the invention, a designer can find the invention, although the goal The main is to create something that does not exist into existence, this is also called invention. But in the design world is a more frequent innovation.
Innovation is the empowerment of something already known to promoted, in innovation, there are two important principles:
1.selalu existing design methodologies, using parameters that did not come from ourselves.
2.Bukan as a purely artistic creations, but the beginning, had the form and purpose.

Development stage of life
Humans do not have to live like this now all of a sudden, where everything seemed so easy. When you look at human development from the beginning, the beginning of human life depends on nature, hunting and gathering phase is called Foreigining, then developed on the pattern of farming life or holticulture. By learning from the situation and grow from what eventually developed into a pattern holticulture Agriculture, at this stage of human conduct aquaculture armed with the knowledge, the next stage, when the crops abundant, have found ways how to preserve and cultivate crops, humans make the production process, processing, processing crops into something else, this lifestyle called lifestyle industry, from all these developments have been achieved human, human being finally came in the era of Information, in this state, the distance becomes shorter, telecommunications interwoven between parts of the world, time is not longer an obstacle, the information coming and going in turns.

And DESIGN CULTURE
Human history continues to grow and evolve, humans basically have a lot in common, whether men in China, in Egypt, in Greece or in Indonesia, all have the same needs in life, what distinguishes the thought patterns and environmental conditions which make compliance with the manifest requirements different ways.
Every human being has the capacity to design something to make life better, so that his life more comfortable, so that their daily activities more efficiently, must fight against 'enemies' (weather, wild animals, geographical conditions), drinking water is one of the human drive to 'make' and equip themselves to improve performance and help everyday tasks to show the need for items that can help to hand a better job, for example human originally worked by hand to hold, grabbing, scratching, pulling, and play, but has limitations in terms of hand kinesthetic strength and flexibility, then people think how to move an object from one place to another in an appropriate way, then the problem is the maximum capacity manuisa hands swing up to 225 ° can be solved with the invented wheel that can rotate 360 °, manusiapun work more faster and lighter. Human needs continue to grow according to the demands and challenges faced.

Reason dibekalkan to humans who become distinguishing between humans and other creatures, mind produce ideas, and questions about the nature of self and its existence, purpose in life and what to do in life, question after question is to find the truth in life. Culture of human thinking that arise due to make the emergence of the need for knowledge, the need for civic order of social life itself needs statement needs to be matters which have made the holistic human civilization and are achieving the highest position. In every stage of human life, from hunting, farming, gardening, doing production to be at the current information age, life can not be separated from activities do various improvements in materials, which relate to technology, are thinking associated with the methodology and the actual associated with the values of social life. Humans when acting makes something called CULTURE since it relates to value systems, different from the animals that rely on this instinct is called ethology, human being do something that is etologis that is when he relies on his physical strength and instinct to do something.

Design is an interdisciplinary science and consilience berazas map all of science because the design of various disipiln, art is art monodisplin where the outcome is more ready to express the artist and the character of ideosincrity, highlight the uniqueness of the individual, while the design is always associated with the user. Design highly contextual depending on perspective, each design has different problems so it is with the solution.


Definition of design
John Heskett definition of design: Design is to design a design to Produce a design. Heskett describe, from the design used four words respectively have different meanings, the first design can be interpreted as a noun (noun) that shows the design as a general concept as a field of study, the second design is a verb (verb) to look at design as an ongoing activity (process). The third design which word is a noun which means an idea, concept or new on the fourth word, design means that the object of the process design activities, or the final result.

In designing, a designer DAP uses the theory of others, can also create a theory. When a theory can generate a new theory this is called a metatheory.

Definitions according to Imam Buchori design, Design is a science that seeks to formulate and construct the idea of scientific (scholarly) into the system / artifact / product containing the practical usefulness is based on the values (value).
These values are: cultural value, economic value, technical value, the value of convenience, the value of problem-solving value.
Design is a creative and systematic effort to design or create a usability based on user needs. Design is considered valid if there are concepts and theories. In the design review process occurs and the problem of language study.
In the design contained 3 main elements namely, Visual, Function, Meaning.
