Abstract

Earthquake is a natural phenomenon occurs in Indonesia. Naturally, earthquake does not kill people, but buildings do. People were killed by the fallen debris of building parts when earthquake occurred. The key to create an entire building lies on the joint system which is why most of building failures occurred on the joint system. Prawiro et all (2010) stated that G-Feet Structural Joint System is the future alternative reversible structural joint system designed based on gecko’s feet concept. The research by Andari et all (2011) found that the joint system was optimum in shear stresses which were mostly created by lateral forces of earthquake. The idea was more lateral forces would lead the joint system to become stickier. Sticky brushes refer to the ability of joint system to easily stick and become strong enough receiving 10 tons/m² load. This can be happened due to the geometry of sticky brushes which are becoming the locking system of the joint system. Therefore, G-Feet Sticky house is supposed to be a new concept of post earthquake houses for the victims. Material selection and 3D computer modelling were used for the final design of G-Feet Sticky Houses to be safely and easily to install. The design is supposed to be useful and helpful especially for the victims as temporary houses which can be modified as the permanent one. The big wall panels are designed for faster construction processwhile the joint system combines the ability of sticky brushes and the geometry of wall panel edge detail.

Abstract

A city is said to be accessible if its implementation accommodates users’ needs, including those with special needs, either disabled, elderly, children, etc. The environment is considered accessible if it ensures users' equality, equity, and living without a hitch. Surabaya, a city with great appreciation and recognition, known to be one of the best cities in the world, is still yet not to be entitled as an accessible city, despite all the greatness of the town, which improve the people living in it. Like most cities in Indonesia, Surabaya is built mainly normative oriented to buildings and urban infrastructures and facilities, not human-orientedapproach. Some failures in urban design implementation are common, for instance: tree roots and their placement are still interfering pedestrians on the sidewalk; most signage is still not informative enough for people with special needs in streets and public facilities; guiding blocks for blind people are far from decent to be safely and comfortably used in a daily basis; parks pay no attention to their accessibility; etc. This paper offers an idea about how to live as a blind person in Indonesia and how the experience is considered the primary part of a design process. The idea is generated to propose the design criteria for redesigninga public park. The data is gathered through participant observation by referencing from a blind’s point of view. Taman Bungkul is chosen as a field study as it is one of the best and the oldest parks in Surabaya and has been recognized and actively used by the residents. The proposed idea is formed by directly experiencing and observing what it feels like to be blind amidst public facilities designed for the non-disabled. The design criteria weigh how blinds gather information, percept spaces and distances, and use their senses such as aural, olfactory, tactile, and other senses. The result proposes design criteria for existing public facilities that are more accessible, visitable, comfortable, and inclusive for everyone, especially for the blind. The design is presented and graphically communicated.
