Abstract

Most of the community in Northen part of Semarang especial in Kampung Bandarharjo that is 1.5km distance to Kota Lama Semarang they are surrounded by Kali Semarng and the Kali baru that is has been the reason of flash flooding disaster and (rob) tidal flood from seawater, currently they are still live in prone areas to disasters such as tidal floods and land subsidence, they have their own ways to adapt and survive into their context relating with what type of disaster they face and what mitigation culture they have so as to adapt with the built environment. This means of survival could be interpreted as indigenous knowledge that has been transferred in many generations and represents people’s lifestyle. The methods they used for culture mitigation can be also interpreted in architectural form based on their local understanding and their surrounding environment, it comprises on skills, credentials, manners and knowledge. These terms will rely on the Cultural Capital from Forms of Capital by Pierre Boudier Concept. These skills while they have improved can be utilized in other areas of the same context and same structure of community.  Indigenous knowledge, as a local knowledge has been gathered and passed through generations of living in a specific location, belongs to and is sustained by communities. Indigenous knowledge also involves of thoughts, experiences, practices and material that have been created locally or produced elsewhere, but have been transformed by local people and incorporated into the local way of life. DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/lw.v12i1.3704

Abstract

This paper explores the revitalisation of urban vacant spaces driven by creative and cultural capitals. Such revitalisation reflects a creative placemaking approach and this study aims to investigate architectural strategies used to reshape empty spaces in urban environments in such an approach. The use of a creative placemaking approach provides the possibility of expanding urban renewal methodologies that can capture the dynamic needs and demands of society. The case study used in this research is The Hallway Space Bandung. This research uses qualitative methods with a creative placemaking theoretical framework. Data collection was done by semi-structured interviews and field observations; supported with secondary data collection from social media, online articles, and interview videos. The study found that the vacant space is activated as a youth culture space through engagement with local art communities. Such engagement activates the space through multi-purpose spatial arrangements for creative uses, open-plan spaces for collaborative activities, and utilisation of architectural elements as the platform of art. This paper argues that creative placemaking initiatives enable the appropriation of urban vacant space, establishing new public spaces that are innovative and adaptive to new situations and needs of society.

Abstract

The study explores the reinterpretation of local architectural identities through understanding Barthes' semiotic system. After decentralisation, Indonesian provinces were encouraged to translate their local culture into their local provincial identity and integrate it within their built environment. The Riau province is largely dominated by Malay culture, imprinting such culture as the basis of Riau architectural identity. In Pekanbaru, as capital of Riau, many contemporary buildings reflect Malay traditional architecture. This paper aims to address the transformation of meaning and identities of Malay architecture in Pekanbaru, utilising Roland Barthes' semiotics approach. Using Soeman HS Library as a case study, the study conducts semiotic explorations of denotative and connotative meanings in the evolution of Malay-influenced architecture in Pekanbaru. The study discusses the culture of the Riau society as the basis of their value system, investigating how it applies to its building elements using Barthes' semiotic analysis. Such a system shapes how the associated meanings of vernacular Malay homes are understood by Riau society and then transformed into contemporary building elements.
