2024-08-21T07:31:40+00:00

Two fundamental requirements for sustainable rural area development are enhancing the well-being of the rural populace and safeguarding cultural assets. The preservation of architectural buildings' aesthetic value is one aspect of cultural preservation, but frequently, welfare improvements do not align with these efforts. It is necessary to draw aesthetic guidelines from construction projects with notable cultural significance. The buildings of Keraton Yogyakarta is a national landmark which has unique aesthetic qualities. The study in question focuses on the building's column in Keraton Yogyakarta and its ability to withstand aesthetic criticism. There are two goals to this architectural research on aesthetic resilience. 1) To determine the aesthetic columns' resilience value in Keraton Yogyakarta buildings; 2) To differentiate architectural parts according to their resilience value. The constructivism research paradigm served as the foundation for the conduct of this research. A combination of qualitative and historical research methods is the research strategy being used in this research. Historical research is used to gather historical data. Qualitative study focuses on the formal nature of an aesthetic to determine its aesthetic resilience value. According to the findings, there are three levels of aesthetic resilience in the decorative components implemented on the columns. 1) the most significant aesthetic resilience is seen in the Javanese ornaments that are still in place; 2) the color of the columns varies over time but still exhibits aesthetic resilience; and 3) there is no aesthetic resilience found in the European features.

Traditional houses are important to maintain and explore because the values of wisdom are embedded in them. Sinom House is an architectural manifestation of Javanese people's homes with the characteristic of a pyramid roof shape; in general, Sinom houses can be found in Java. In this study, the object of the Sinom house studied was in Bendosari Village, Kademangan, Blitar, which has the character of a rural area with a rocky mountainous landscape that tends to have hot weather, as well as the characteristics of a community working in agriculture, from these factors resulting in a simpler Sinom house shape in terms of area and spatial configuration. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the existence of the spatial configuration of the Sinom house in the location of Bendosari Village, Kademangan District, where the factors to be identified come from comparative literature sources, namely aspects of floor plan typology, spatial composition, roof shape and structure, and a general description of the research location. As a traditional vernacular residence of the Javanese people, these characteristics can be reviewed from the aspect of the spatial configuration that forms a single unit of the Sinom house. In the aspect of spatial configuration, the variables studied are floor plan typology, spatial composition, and roof structure. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative in both stages of data collection and analysis. Data collection is done by direct observation, architectural documentation, and interviews as supporting data. The results of this study are expected to deepen the knowledge of Javanese residential architecture in rural areas and can be useful for enriching architectural knowledge and further research.

This article is a summary of research activities with a focus on comparative studies related to aspects of structural and construction systems applied in vernacular buildings in Gubugklakas Village, Tengger, East Java and in Pedawa Village, Buleleng, Bali. The aspects that are observed, are related to the structural system contained in the three segments of the building, namely in the substructure or building foundation, the superstructure or the building body, and the upper structure or roof of the building. This research was carried out using a comparative method which focus on the study regarding the structural system, loading logic, and construction system applied in the two vernacular buildings of residential houses in the two areas. The conclusions obtained are related to the characteristics of the loading logic, the construction system, the anticipation of loads and natural phenomena, as well as the building materials applied in the vernacular residential structure system in the two villages.

INTEGRATION OF ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE ON SLOPING SITES: A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO BUILDING DESIGN

2024-10-11T07:45:11+00:00

This paper investigates the adaptation of sustainable architectural designs for sloping sites by building in the natural context. While sloping sites can create certain design restrictions, they can also be a source of design innovation that takes advantage of the existing topography. The present research aims to determine design approaches, which build both visual and functional equilibrium to the buildings, while efficiently providing comfort and ecological nature of the buildings. The use of qualitative analysis of four case studies, Ncaved House in Greece, UCCA Dune Art Museum in China, La Escondida Apartments in Mexico, and Private House in Thusis in Switzerland reveals that the successful integration of buildings into the landscape is aided by the usage of local materials, use of daylight and cross-ventilation and shelter from extreme weather conditions among other factors. Each case study looks at how the design resolved the challenge of a sloped site and perspectives of ecology and aesthetics. These insights are important for designers as they address the issue of how to maximize the design’s ecological sensitivity and beauty, without shunning sloped sites but instead using them as positives in the overall architectural design scheme.

IMPLEMENTATION OF WAYFINDING SIGN IN THE ACCESSIBILITY OF SOFTBALL STADIUM IN SURABAYA

2024-08-21T02:29:01+00:00

A stadium typically consists of one or more large-scale building masses designed to accommodate significant numbers of visitors such as spectators, administrators, and athletes. With a large number of visitors, it needs careful planning of land use due to the extensive area required for stadium construction. Efficient movement within the building is essential, particularly in guiding visitors between spaces. The design for the Surabaya softball stadium spans four floors and occupies a substantial land area. However, a key challenge lies in addressing visitor confusion, especially among spectators, regarding access to different spaces. To mitigate this, effective identification systems, such as signage, are crucial for facilitating navigation within the stadium. The implementation of wayfinding signage serves as a solution to direct users to their desired locations, ensuring smooth movement throughout the facility. Additionally, the organization of space and zoning by function, supported by clear markers, helps prevent cross circulation. Unregulated circulation may lead to congestion at specific points if adequate signage and space designation are lacking. Therefore, providing clear names and directional instructions through wayfinding signs is vital to enhance spatial accessibility and streamline visitor movement within the stadium.

REVERBERATION TIME IN COMBINED LECTURE ROOMS

2024-08-30T09:03:08+00:00

The size of the reverberation time is determined by the volume of the room and the type of surface material in the room. Lecture rooms at 701 and 702, Building L, 7th Floor, Bachelor of Architecture Study Program, Tarumanagara University have lecture rooms dominated by glass windows with aluminum frames on both sides of the room and exposed concrete beams and columns. These materials tend to increase reverberation time. Apart from that, the two lecture rooms are also often used simultaneously. Using both lecture rooms simultaneously will increase the volume of the room. The larger the room volume also increases the reverberation time. This research aims to optimize the reverberation time of 2 lecture rooms that are used simultaneously. Lecture rooms and the types of materials forming the rooms were experimented with using Ecotect. Lecture rooms 701 and 702 were used as research samples. The number of occupants in the class was counted as 80 people because not all the tables were filled with students. The research results show that combining 2 lecture rooms causes problems with reverberation time. The reverberation time in existing conditions is 1.11 seconds. To overcome the high reverberation time, it was necessary to replace the ceiling covering from gypsum to acoustic in lecture room 701. After replacing the ceiling, the reverberation time decreased to 0.74 seconds. This value is close to the optimal reverberation time which has a value of 0.77 seconds.

Fisherman Village is one of the Jakarta informalities that has been growing with the city since its former role as a port city. This phenomenon not only contributes to the city’s economic value but also to its overall dynamic sectors. Its existence confirms the important role of its built environment; the research objective is to reveal the kampung pattern for preserving and developing this kampung. Unlike other urban grains, this kampung consists of naval and maritime qualities, despite general critique towards environmental and spatial conditions. The morphology is utilized to detect its architectural form; thus, its algorithm can be extracted through QGIS, steps are: 1) mapping, 2) massing, and 3) algorithm. QGIS converts mapping into a massing series, unraveling the geometry of the kampung house silhouette as an algorithm pattern. The outcome is Kampung’s algorithm pattern. The discovery involves nautical and maritime influences, while the originality is the Kampung Cilincing order formula. This research promotes a specific housing unit and type as a local potency to stimulate the development of Kampung’s module guideline. The dominant type can be used for typical replication while questioning the recessive type to stimulate innovation as a guide.
