  • In this research the definition of rhythm how it

    2018-10-22

    In this research, the definition of rhythm, how it is created, and why it is a part of human design cognition are explored through case studies. Even though rhythm is seen as a phenomenon, it has not been approached from a phenomenological point of view on what thing (i.e., rhythm) means (Brentano, 1995). Instead, the study quantifies positive facts and observable event that can be seen, measured, and be counted as facts, which is best described as a positivist perspective (Scharff, 1995). Thus, rhythm as a product of design cognition is a phenomenon that we believe can be seen, measured, and analyzed to get more understanding on the quality of design and the process of design creation. Studies in this approach would generate more theoretical and scientific contributions to the fields of design studies and design thinking. However, not many studies have been done in this regard. This project takes a lead in this direction.
    Phenomena and definition of rhythm Rhythm has been defined in various fields of arts and performing arts, sharing the central meaning of a patterned recurrence, repetition, or movement in actions or artifacts. In design, rhythm is the regular, harmonious recurrence of a specific element, often a single specific entity coming from the categories of line, shape, form, color, light, shadow, and sound. If a designer chooses elements from these categories and creates some composition of these elements, then a motif or pattern is generated. The designer could also repetitively apply a single element, a composed motif or pattern at regular mode. As long as a visually or auditory harmonious composition is generated, through repetition, a rhythm is created. Of course, a hybrid composition of such entities across categories should also serve the same purposes. However, without having or experiencing the comfortable visual or auditory results of RGFP966 repetitions, rhythm would not exist. On the other hand, designers working with singular massing and uniform detailing strategies might have produce different outcomes.
    Factors causing rhythm Rhythm, as defined, is created by repetition. Repetition is a cognitive way of processing information. In language arts, repetition is a persuasive strategy used to affect or coordinate attitudes, especially when terms are used repeatedly in question begging form (Boisvert, 2011). In writing, repetition is a rhetorical device used to emphasize a point, notion, or meaning. There are a number of methods used in writing, for example, the repetition of a single word with no words in between (palilogia); or a word in various places throughout a paragraph (conduplicatio), or used a word at the end of a sentence and then used expression again at the beginning of the next sentence (anadiplosis); or repeating a word or phrase at the beginning (anaphora), middle (mesodiplosis), or the end (epistrophe) of every clause (see note 2 on rhetorical devices). Thus, applying different methods of repetition, different results of emotional inspiration are generated, which demonstrate that language is an instrument or tool for serving certain purposes (Boisvert, 2011). In music, the repetition of a fixed rhyme, beat, or melody has also been used to generate music (Yeston, 1976). In learning, the practice of learning by repetition, which is called rote learning or rehearsal, is another form of cognitive strategy. Rehearsal serves the purpose of maintaining a small set of items in short-term memory by repetition, and any information in short-term memory is transferred to long-term storage to some degree throughout its stay in short-term memory (Waugh & Norman, 1965; Atkinson and Shiffrin, 1968), which helps in human learning. More rehearsal or repetition of items in practice would improve our skill and memory. Specifically, repeated exposure to a piece of information does provide the opportunity for more elaborate processing or extent of semantic processing of the stimuli. This explains that repetition is a cognitive process.
