Abstract

This study discusses the spirit of place which is also known as the “genius loci” of two GPIB church buildings in Depok, Indonesia. It is important to note that the physical and spatial order of a structure theoretically has an expression usually interpreted according to the character and identity created by the observer or user. This means it is possible for buildings with the same function, liturgy, and space requirements but different physical arrangements to have the same spirit of place. The focus of this study is on the church of GPIB Immanuel and GPIB Pancaran Kasih in Depok and it was conducted qualitatively and descriptively through anatomical and phenomenological methods. The operational stage involves the emic steps which include field observations and structured or unstructured interviews for managers and informants doubling as the users of the buildings as well as ethical steps which are focused on the study of architectural theories. The results showed that the physical architectural order of the two churches creates a dynamic character and identity as well as a spirit of place even though they come from the same synod, order, and have the same liturgy and procession. This was discovered to be due to their similarities and differences.

Abstract

Mental health has emerged as a critical global issue, with individuals increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and fatigue—conditions that underscore the need for environments conducive to psychological restoration and relief from daily pressures. Architectural design that emphasizes therapeutic qualities offers the potential to address these mental health challenges by fostering spaces that support psychological well-being. Recent studies have demonstrated that the application of therapeutic architectural principles within the built environment can significantly influence both the physical and mental health of its users. This research addresses a gap in the current discourse by examining the integration of therapeutic concepts within the architectural design of retreat houses. While prior studies have independently explored the phenomenology of spiritual retreats and architectural strategies with psychological impact, limited research has investigated the intersection of these domains. Accordingly, this study focuses on the relationship between architecture and therapeutic concepts, specifically through the lens of theoretical exploration and precedent analysis. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the application of therapeutic architectural principles in the design of retreat house complexes. The methodology is structured as follows: (1) conducting a comprehensive literature review; (2) elaborating relevant references on therapeutic concepts and retreat house design through ideogram representation; (3) analyzing the outcomes of this elaboration concerning selected case studies; and (4) formulating conclusions. The findings of the study reveal a strong correlation between the architectural design of retreat houses and the implementation of therapeutic concepts, suggesting that such integration is instrumental in enhancing the restorative function of these spaces.

Abstract

This research is based on the phenomenon of the discovery of temple artifacts as cultural heritage, which are often found in the Yogyakarta region at a depth of approximately 2 to 7 meters from the surface, with the location of the discovery varying from rice fields, settlements, to areas that have been planned in the master plan for development. This condition causes problems in the form of incompleteness in the restoration process, due to limitations in space, resources, and connectivity with the surrounding area context. On the other hand, various countries have proven the success of the application of digital technology in supporting the preservation of cultural heritage, but in Indonesia, especially in the case of buried temples, its application is still limited. This study aims to reveal the role of digital technology, specifically virtual reality (VR) applications, in supporting cultural heritage preservation efforts in the case of buried temples in Yogyakarta. The research method uses a qualitative approach with an architectural case study, which combines literature review, field observation, and interpretive analysis of the potential use of VR and Heritage BIM integration in the context of preservation. The research results show that VR and HBIM technology play a significant role in presenting three-dimensional visual representations that are able to strengthen public understanding, education, and immersive experiences, so that the preservation of buried temple cultural heritage can be realized in a more meaningful, sustainable, and adaptive manner to the challenges of modern development.

Abstract

Historical records indicate that Chinese communities have consistently adapted to their surrounding environments. This adaptive capacity has influenced both activities and architectural styles found within Chinatown areas. Although the architectural forms of Chinatowns may appear similar on the surface, they often embody an integration of traditions and belief systems that shape their design. This study aims to explore, analyze, and define the relationship between the traditions and belief systems of the Chinese community and the architectural forms of Chinatown in the Lasem Chinatown area, Central Java. A qualitative approach is employed in this research to collect primary data through two main methods: (1) conducting interviews with key informants to gather data on traditions and beliefs related to activities, and (2) carrying out field observations to collect data on the architectural forms of Chinatown. The data are analyzed and interpreted to reveal the relationships between the interview information obtained and the observational findings. In the context of residential buildings, the traditions and beliefs of the Chinese community are transmitted from generation to generation without significantly altering the architectural form. Chinese architecture functions as a pragmatic replication of ancient structures from their homeland, brought by Chinese immigrants to Indonesia, particularly to Lasem. The findings of this study offer valuable insights into the relationship between traditions and belief systems and the architectural forms of Chinatown, and propose strategies for the sustainability of contemporary Chinese architectural practices.

Abstract

This study critiques two prevailing epistemological tendencies in the study of vernacular architecture in Indonesia: The universalism of form, which relies on Western formal theories, and cultural relativism, which romanticizes the uniqueness of local traditions. Both tendencies are considered to offer limited contributions to the vernacular communities under study, as they often result merely in formal descriptions or cultural idealizations without addressing the transformative potential of architectural design. This study aims to formulate a new interpretive tool for identifying the local values of Indonesian vernacular architecture while simultaneously exploring its transformative potential. The study employs a three-step analytical phases: Firstly, tracing the development of theoretical studies on vernacular architecture in Indonesia to map their epistemological limitations. Secondly, elaborating the theory of architectural ethnosemantic with the concept of architectural property–composition, in order to generate an analytical framework that bridges formal and semantic aspects. Thirdly,  applying the results of this elaboration to identify local values and transformative potential in vernacular settlements in Indonesia. The focus of inquiry is directed toward Sundanese villages in West Java that have already undergone transformations, taken as a representation of the vernacular traditions of the Indonesian archipelago. The findings of this study are an interpretive model for examining the local values of Sundanese architecture, together with the potential transformations in housing and settlement design. This formulation serves a dual function: as an academic contribution to the advancement of vernacular theory, and as a practical contribution to improving the quality of life of the vernacular communities themselves.

Abstract

Transformations in vernacular dwellings are often understood primarily as changes in physical form, while the cultural structures that sustain them receive far less scholarly attention. In Aceh, the traditional stilted Rumoh Aceh has been extensively replaced by the masonry Rumoh Batee, yet both continue to accommodate the same ritual practices across the life cycle—birth, marriage, growth and development, and death. This study argues that the persistence of these practices reveals a continuous cultural logic that structures domestic space beyond its formal and material transformation. Using an interpretive-structural approach grounded in Salura’s form–function–meaning framework, this research analyzes how ritual activities are spatialized in both house types. Fieldwork was conducted in two mukim, encompassing four cases of Rumoh Aceh and four of Rumoh Batee. The findings indicate that a single cultural value, Peumulia (to honor and dignify others), operates as an overarching spatial ordering principle. This value is expressed architecturally through the adaptive public conversion of domestic space during rituals, the hierarchical orientation of principal rooms, and respectful spatial segregation within kinship relations. The study contributes to an understanding of how cultural continuity can endure through architectural transformation, demonstrating that a change in physical form does not necessarily signify a change in cultural meaning.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of Balinese Traditional Architecture (BTA) in public buildings operating within the context of global architecture, using I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport as a case study. The application of traditional architectural elements in contemporary buildings is often understood as an effort to express local identity; however, such approaches generally remain at the level of visual and symbolic representation, without further investigating the more fundamental shifts in architectural meaning that occur. This research adopts a qualitative, analytic–interpretative approach by formulating a framework for reading the transformation of expression through four interrelated mechanisms: reduction, rescaling, rematerialization, and recontextualization. These four mechanisms are not positioned as design techniques, but rather as conceptual tools for understanding how architectural meaning changes when Balinese Traditional Architecture is displaced from its original context. Initially rooted in spatial systems, ritual practices, and cosmological principles, it is transformed as it enters global infrastructure characterized by different functional requirements, scales, and technological demands. The findings indicate that the expression of BTA in airport buildings does not function as a continuation of its traditional spatial system and meanings. The Domestic Terminal tends to emphasize reduction and rematerialization, while the International Terminal demonstrates a stronger intensity of rescaling and recontextualization. Traditional architectural elements undergo a systematic transformation, shifting from functional and symbolic components within a system of dwelling into representational devices that construct territorial identity and visual recognition. This transformation signifies a change in the ontological status of BTA, from architecture as a system of habitation to architecture as a language of expression. By positioning this transformation as an epistemic process, the study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework for understanding vernacular architecture within contemporary public buildings. The findings further provide broader theoretical implications for examining the relationship between tradition, modernity, and architectural meaning in the context of globalization.

Abstract

The development of contemporary architecture demonstrates an increasingly intensive degree of interdisciplinary intervention arising from environmental, technological, social, cultural, and artificial intelligence-related issues. Although this tendency is frequently understood as a form of progress, in practice it has generated a phenomenon of increasingly blurred architectural boundaries, in which dwelling space as the formal object of architecture is gradually displaced by external indicators such as technical performance, data, or symbolic representation. This research aims to reconceptualize the boundaries of architecture through a reaffirmation of the relationship between architectural ontology, disciplinary development, and interdisciplinary contribution. This study employs a theoretical–conceptual analytical method grounded in reconstructive synthesis of the thoughts of Aristotle, Vitruvius, Norberg-Schulz, Hillier, Broadbent, and Salura. The analysis is conducted progressively through three principal stages: the reaffirmation of architectural ontology, the formulation of disciplinary development, and the determination of the liminal domain as a testing zone for external contributions. Within this process, the Core Ontology of Architecture is operationalized through the concept of the Minimum Threshold of Spatial Structure (MTSS) as an ontological testing instrument for determining the minimum condition of inhabitable space. The findings indicate that the boundaries of architecture may be formulated as a layered structure consisting of: the Ontology of Architecture as the principle of embodied human dwelling within spatial configuration; the Core Ontology of Architecture as the minimum condition of inhabitable space; the MTSS as the minimum ontological threshold; the Core Discipline of Architecture as the mechanism for the physical realization of space; the Spectrum of Architectural Disciplines as the enrichment and expansion of dwelling; and the liminal domain as a testing zone for interdisciplinary contributions. This structure demonstrates that the boundaries of architecture are relational and hierarchical in nature, not rigid separations, but rather orientative mechanisms that maintain the ontological consistency of architecture amidst interdisciplinary openness. This research also positions the Architectural Property–Composition Epistemic Framework (APCEF/KEPKA) as an epistemic mechanism that ensures every architectural claim can be traced and verified through the relationships among spatial configuration, function, experience, and meaning. Accordingly, this study contributes to formulating the integration of ontology, ontological threshold, and epistemic mechanism in architecture as a coherent conceptual structure. Theoretically, this research reinforces the position of architecture as a discipline rooted in inhabitable space. Methodologically, it provides an orientative framework for evaluating the position of research and design practice within interdisciplinary contexts. These findings demonstrate that architecture does not lose its relevance because it possesses ontological boundaries; rather, it becomes vulnerable to weakening when such boundaries are neither recognized nor conceptually operationalized.

Abstract

Contemporary architectural practice increasingly exhibits fragmented approaches in which analysis and design, as well as visual, technical, symbolic, and social aspects, are treated as separate domains. This fragmentation reveals the absence of an epistemic framework capable of maintaining traceability between architectural claims and their underlying evidence. This article addresses this epistemic gap by proposing KEPKA (Kerangka Epistemik Properti Komposisi Arsitektur) as a regulatory framework for structured architectural reflection. KEPKA is developed through a critical synthesis of architectural theories concerned with the interrelations of function, form, experience, and meaning. It emphasises the traceability of architectural claims by grounding interpretations in elements, properties, and spatial composition. Rather than functioning as a single theory, design method, or normative value system, KEPKA operates as a reflective epistemic tool applicable across issues, methods, and paradigms without interfering with scientific claims. Structured into five analytical levels, ranging from elements and compositional relations to operational and discursive meaning, KEPKA enables an assessment of the degree to which an architectural reading or design is architecturally justified. This article argues that KEPKA does not aim to verify the truth of meaning, but to ensure that meaning remains inseparable from architectural evidence, while simultaneously opening a dialogical space for engagement with diverse theoretical traditions within architectural scholarship.
