MODEL PRAGMATISME EKSPERIMENTAL DALAM ARSITEKTUR

Abstract

The discourse on experimental pragmatism, as a paradigm in architecture and in other fields, is still very limited. Most references still place this term as jargon. This study aims to establish definition and working model of experimental pragmatism paradigm in architecture using content analysis methods. It was learned that experimental pragmatism can be defined as a design paradigm that prioritizes the strength of goals (discoveries) and their actualization in the process (experimentation) and design outcomes according to their attributes (method-and-parameter (process) and nature-and-parameters (output)). The definition of experimental pragmatism (PE) includes three aspects, namely the aspect of the goal (T) to get a new discovery (discovery), the process aspect (P), and the output aspect (L). This definition can be translated as a working model into formula PE = T x (PMP + LSP), where MP is Method and Parameter and SP is Characteristic and Parameter.
