Abstract

Kota Baru Parahyangan (KBP) is one of the luxury residential areas in West Bandung Regency, developed under the garden city concept. The area is designed to provide a comfortable, green, and integrated living environment. It consists of various residential clusters, educational facilities, commercial centers, and green open spaces. The Covid-19 pandemic triggered changes in residents’ behavior, such as the rise in home-based activities (work from home) and an increased demand for open spaces. In this context, a study of the settlement sustainability concept in KBP becomes crucial, particularly to assess how adaptive and resilient the area has been in facing multidimensional crises. This research aims to examine how KBP endured the pandemic by evaluating aspects of environmental sustainability, architectural design, and economic strategies that support the resilience of the area. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive approach, using literature review, field observation, and interviews with KBP stakeholders. The absence of studies addressing the link between KBP’s residential environment and its sustainability during the Covid-19 pandemic represents a research gap that this study seeks to address. Therefore, between 2021 and 2022, KBP can be regarded as having successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic through its natural environmental concept, context-appropriate spatial and architectural planning, and effective marketing strategies.

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

Identity, symbolism, and representation constitute central themes in architectural and urban theory; nevertheless, their relational integration within the context of city architecture is frequently addressed in a fragmented and partial manner. This study seeks to develop a relational framework that connects identity, symbol, and representation through a focused analysis of Jakarta’s urban architecture during the Soekarno era. Five monuments are selected as case studies based on Toto’s (2014) classification, which characterizes monuments from the Old Order period as visual manifestations of Soekarno’s nationalist ideology. The research adopts a qualitative approach, employing a combination of literature review and visual analysis. The data are obtained from scholarly publications, visual documentation of the selected monuments, and historical records concerning their planning and construction. From a methodological perspective, the analysis investigates the architectural representations embodied in the monuments, interprets the symbolic meanings they convey, and identifies the identity narratives communicated through their forms and spatial expressions. The findings indicate that urban identity serves as the foundational basis for the production of symbols, which are subsequently materialized as representations of nationalism within Jakarta’s urban architectural landscape. This relational process is conceptualized as the Identity–Symbol–Representation (I–S–R) framework. The study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework for understanding the ways in which city identity is constructed, articulated, and communicated through architectural symbols and representational forms.
