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 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： In this paper, we present the design of hyperboloid structures and techniques for hyperboloid fitting which are based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the algebraic distances between the noisy data and the hyperboloid. Algebraic fitting methods solve the linear least squares (LS) problem, and are relatively straightforward and fast. Fitting orthogonal hyperboloid is a difficult issue. Usually, it is impossible to reach a solution with classic LS algorithms, because they are often faced with the problem of convergence. Therefore, it is necessary to use special algorithms e.g. nonlinear least square algorithms. Hyperboloid has a complex geometry as well as hyperboloid structures have always been interested. The two main reasons, apart from aesthetic considerations, are strength and efficiency.

Abstract： The architectural style of Qiang people is suffering the invasion of outer culture, meanwhile, Qiang ethnic minority have a short understanding of their architectural style, which makes they not integrate into their oneself architectural style in the design of construction. Basing on the perspective of collective memory, for the first time, this paper uses the quantitative research as a tool to study the style of Qiang architecture by combining the method of average number, mode and the clustering analysis. Firstly, combining existing researches acquired by the relevant scholars and experts with the actual architectural style of 7 typical Qiangzhai (Qiang villages), this paper would draw out the representative system of architectural style in the new era. Secondly, the people of 7 typical Qiangzhai are divided into elderly people, middle-aged and young to carry out the fuzzy questionnaire survey and this paper uses those data to obtain the average number, the mode and the coefficient of variation in those people living in 7 typical Qiangzhai. Finally, the results indicate that the factors of Qiang architectural style including 8 central style’s factors, 7 important style’s factors and 15 general style’s factors. On the basis of the results of study, this paper further puts forward some suggestions on the application of the style’s factors in the design.
