This volume presents a curated selection of articles that reflect contemporary architectural challenges and innovations across diverse cultural, environmental, and social contexts. Topics include inclusive design in public spaces such as coffee shops, thermal comfort in traditional Malay housing, and the ergonomic evaluation of workshop spaces to enhance occupational health and safety. The articles emphasize user experience, environmental responsiveness, and spatial adaptability as essential components in architectural practice.

In addition, the issue explores deeper theoretical and cultural dimensions through discussions on postmodern architectural identity, incremental housing for affordability, and the conservation of heritage buildings facing physical deterioration. It also highlights the dynamics of student living in boarding houses and the reinterpretation of historical styles, such as the Majapahit influence in Acehnese architecture. Together, these contributions offer critical insights into how architecture responds to changing societal needs, cultural continuity, and sustainable living.
