Résumé

This article overviews an indigenous culture's design approach: New Zealand Maori. I draw a parallel between the cultural and spiritual approach of Maori design and the conventional Western design perspective. This exploration unveils the Maori people's unique worldview and their distinctive design philosophy. Additionally, I compare Maori Design Principles and general design principles to identify commonalities and differences. I delve into the realm of patterns, specifically focusing on the Flounder Fish pattern, characterised by its diamond shape.
I also examine modern New Zealand architectural structures that incorporate this particular pattern, showcasing the fusion of tradition and contemporary design. My exploration extends to abstract design concepts and architectural ideas, drawing inspiration from Maori abstract art. I touch on how these concepts can be integrated into architectural projects, giving rise to innovative and culturally significant designs. Lastly, I discuss the utilisation of artificial intelligence for design ideas, with a spotlight on Playground AI.
I present captivating design images generated by Playground AI, featuring the Maori Flounder Fish pattern as the central theme. The AI prompt explicitly sought a design for a modern, contemporary house infused with Maori shapes, forms, and patterns. This resource culminates in a visually striking and awe-inspiring design that should not be missed, celebrating the synthesis of Maori culture and contemporary design. For Designers, artists, architects, and Design and Visual Communication (DVC) students.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de William Van Zyl

The author had an interesting and unique childhood. Not travelling abroad - as you would expect - but venturing into the fields, bushes, tools sheds and mysterious underground tunnels around his neighbourhood. His happy place was - and still is - tinkering with ideas, science, and new possibilities. Many times while cycling he will get new ideas; he brings the unexpected, the unique, the creative in a flurry on a page or in a sketch.
To this day he dreams of vicious wars and sophisticated weaponry in an innocent child's scout cave. He loves diagrams, timelines, cross sections, sketches, and details of sinister and hidden concepts and ideas; always looking for a new mystery to decode and to encode. He investigates and explores extravagant thoughts which he includes in children's books, stories and articles; he loves to include philosopher's perspectives, articles,  intriguing stories, and poetry in his writing.
Academic and research work are also his forte. He always offers a simple but practical explanation within an engaging context. Not your ordinary thinker! A lifelong scholar and teacher.
