Abstract： The paper observes a return of cosmology in design and art. It is a cosmological design in the ancient Greek sense of the poiesis which designs the entirety of what surrounds, carries us and us itself. Another term for this ongoing design-transformation is the ‘planetary design’ which isn’t simply a synonym for an ‘aesthetic’ phenomenon. The planetary demiurge (designer) means a kind of boundless pervasion based on ‘modern’ secularized design, art, science and technology and transposing planet earth and human life from a culture-historical to a cosmic scale of the planetary environment creator. The article discusses the dynamics of design and art in a perspective of longue durée. It exposes the concept of ‘toxic design and art’ and proposes a theory of new use, far from design and art as doxology of the economic power. Against this background, the paper analyses abandoned mythical, ontological, metaphysical and theological infrastructures with respect to their precarious state in design and art (as poiesis), between modernity and archaic, fragility and stability, nature and culture, between life and death, contingency and necessity, freedom and slavery.

Abstract： The existence of a long history of Kuningan society there is uniqueness. It appears in the way that the Kuningan used to defend heirlooms for hundreds of years. The existence of heirloom weapons found in Talaga began to unfold; there is a construction that in the early stages of history in Kuningan, humans use their weapons for self-protection. Stone, bone, and horns are used as weapons, because the material is easy to obtain. The purpose of weapons is protection from disturbance or attack of wild animals. The existence of the weapons chronicle, it takes a arts historical approach, anthropology (human right), symbols, and aesthetic form. A system capable of strengthening from within, considered capable of counteracting the disintegration of the nation and attacks from outside, asylum sanctuary and long-term protection of cultural heritage can be done to maintain the sustainability of its goals. Thus, the inheritance culture that has resulted from the ethnic group should be applied retrofit system, which is digging, rediscovering, applying and preserving to strengthen the Nusantara. The way deliberation of consensus was able to defend the royal heritage. This is a symbol of local wisdom even in the press by the colonial power. It has existed since prehistoric and history times, then stored in Indonesia and European museums. Although under Colonial pressure, the ethnic continued to rely on ancestral heritage as a symbol of unity and wisdom. The abundance of manuscripts, weapons, jewelry, and attributes have been brought by the Colonials, need to be present in Kuningan today (given or lent). Its function is no longer need to find a new identity, because it already has an identity before. Searching for a new identity, can cause chronic division and great energy to make it happen. In addition, it is shown to deviate from the previous protective form.

Abstract： The renewal and transformation of the old city has always been the most complicated and extensive social project in the urban construction and it is also the most important issue concerned by the masses. Based on the goal of social value, this paper puts forward the conception of design and utilization of Corner Space through the investigation and research on the forming process of Corner Space left over in the course of urban construction. Taking the outer space utilization and landscape reconstruction design scheme of Xianning City Old District Library as an example, this paper analyzes the landscape reconstruction problems of the Corner Space of the old city, and puts forward some suggestions and thoughts, and extends the role and significance of landscape design in social dimension.

Abstract： Nowadays, the main topic on everybody’s lips, corporations’ and governments’ heads but also common citizens’, is “sustainability”. This term is often abused to capture attention but it can be understood only by defining the contextual structure of what is intended to be done for achieving a sustainable state or process. Core problems: human life and nature life distancing, which is creating a generational gap, proven by the population growth and movement towards cities. Our youth have never learnt to be in relation with life and other living systems, because they are already the result of being at least 3rd generation of a family that has moved from the countryside to the city. Who is going to transmit the knowledge, experiences and culture to the future population? How? Losing the perception of value of our basic needs what come strictly out of nature, in particularly plants, which are the primary producers in the world and our primary source of food. If we lose the knowledge and experience of obtaining things naturally, and the recognizance of this principle on wide scale and every age for generations we will not be able to sustain us from our natural resources, so our sustainment will remain unsustainable in relation with the entire living biosphere. Plants are organism that pre date human, are highly adaptive and reactive as we humans are. The only difference being is that we cannot provide for ourselves without them. Even if we think on technological solutions, we need a natural source for any synthesizing process we may plan to consider as solution, for example in terms of food: ‘Cultured Meat’ [1]. Out of these, is emerging that all our solutions are actually already in nature and plants because of their high reactivity and relation in living systems are the most sustainable technologies to solve our problems. The process and the approach shown in the following paper and case study scenario are explained through multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary, multicultural and multigenerational contributions, that are necessary for fundamental ways for shaping long-term relations between citizens and plants. This approach opens new dynamic potentials for re-establishing viewpoints when considering plants as living processes as sustainable technologies. This thinking is applicable at any scale and context, and will require new approaches to learning, creating in turn, new educational paradigms.
