Vol. 6 No. 2 (2024)This edition of our journal features a diverse collection of articles highlighting the intersections of tradition, sustainability, and innovation in architecture. The issue begins with an exploration of the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Semarang, emphasizing its role as a sustainable worship space and a symbol of green architectural practices. Another study delves into the Keraton Yogyakarta, analyzing its column aesthetics and resistance to cultural and environmental changes. Traditional housing is a recurring theme, with articles examining the Sinom House in Blitar, focusing on its spatial configuration, and comparing the vernacular tectonics of houses in Tengger and Bali, showcasing how local materials and techniques address environmental challenges. The integration of architecture and landscape is addressed in research on design strategies for sloping plots, which merges functionality with natural aesthetics. Contemporary issues are explored in the study of wayfinding systems in Surabaya’s softball stadium, which highlights accessibility improvements, and an acoustic analysis of reverberation time in lecture rooms, offering practical insights into optimizing learning environments. Finally, a novel perspective is provided in a study that applies algorithmic patterns to the spatial configuration of Cilincing Fisherman Village, reflecting the organic dynamics of kampung architecture. This edition celebrates the interplay of culture, environment, and modern methodologies in shaping architectural narratives, encouraging readers to reflect on how tradition and innovation converge to address contemporary challenges in the built environment.

Vol. 6 No. 1 (2024)Border: Jurnal Arsitektur publishes papers on architecture, theory and architectural criticism, urban design and planning, urban and residential regions, environmental architecture, building structures, and other aspects of the built environment. Furthermore, climate change, urbanisation, and socioeconomic factors have all created new difficulties for the built environment in recent years. Resilience, or a system's ability to adapt and recover from shocks, has emerged as a key consideration in architectural design. Border delves at several aspects of architectural resilience, with a focus on innovative solutions and case studies from Southeast Asia.
The articles in this issue cover a wide range of subjects connected to architectural resilience. From sustainable materials and construction practices to community-based resilience measures, the authors provide useful insights into the challenges and potential of developing resilient built environments. The essays investigate novel design techniques, such as cultural tactical urbanism, software preferences in architectural design studios, and the usage of wood materials in a variety of environments. The volume also discusses the role of cultural heritage in urban planning, the design of student common areas, and the structural engineering of high-rise buildings. We hope that these papers will inspire additional architectural research, conversation, and innovation.
We hope that this volume of Border will stimulate additional research, discussion, and collaboration in the topic of architectural resilience. Understanding and resolving the intricacies of resilience enables us to build more sustainable, egalitarian, and resilient cities for future generations. Lastly, we thank all authors and parties involved in publishing this issue.
