description |
Socio-cultural aspects of craft, along with aesthetic and creativity, are
expressed in the products of craft practices. Craft activities of weaving may be
deeply imbued with unique cultural values and expressive of cultural identities.
The paper concerns how traditional Malay craft is abstracted onto a real-life
project which has to deal with the problem of modularity and buildability. The
focus is on the food covers or better known as tudung saji pattern, woven using
a specific technique called triaxial or hexagonal weave, where the strands are
plaited in three directions. Understanding and making explicit, formalizing and
computing the craft patterns provide new insights into its cultural dynamics as
well as creative and generative possibilities. The paper summarizes the design
process from craft to meaning and philosophy to variations of modern
abstraction. The concepts were integrated into an innovative cladding design of
a passive cooling system. The design and development process of water-wall
design includes the production of digital three-dimensional model. The efforts
to merge craft sensibilities and practices with new making technologies and
computational strategies have uncovered several interesting viewpoints. The
implication of the study is to inculcate the symbolic application of cultural
values in craft goods towards design. Future work towards sustainability in
craft is part of revival. Traditional Malay craft need abstraction and reinvention
in a contemporary way, to create an expressive connection and foster cultural
identity within time and space. |
