Abstract

Hindu and Buddhist temples across Asia are renowned for their distinctive pinnacle ornaments, which, despite varying names and forms across regions, share a profound equality of symbolic meaning. This qualitative study employs a comparative approach, analyzing diverse architectural examples to uncover and interpret the underlying symbolic meanings of these ornaments on various Hindu and Buddhist temple structures in Asia, such as vat shrines in Cambodia, wa̋t in Thailand, mandir in India and Nepal, pagoda in Japan, and temple and meru in Indonesia and Bali. The findings show that (a) in the human body, the ornament at the top of the temple can be interpreted as the crown of the head element; (b) the ornament at the top of the temple can be interpreted as the top of the mountain; (c) the existence of the ornament at the top of the temple building can be compared to the heaven at the top of Mount Meru; and (d) the ornament at the top of the temple is realized as small, abstract motifs, and has four similar faces. These shared symbolic interpretations underscore a profound underlying cosmological and philosophical unity within Hindu and Buddhist architectural traditions across the Asian continent.

Abstract

Bangunan masjid Jami Adji Amir Hasanoeddin merupakan simbol masuknya agama Islam di Kerajaan Kutai Kartanegara yang sebelumnya merupakan kerajaan Hindu tertua di Indonesia. Masuknya Islam di Kerajaan Kutai tentu membawa pengaruh seperti dibangunnya tempat ibadah. Besarnya antusias masyarakat Kutai untuk memperdalam Ilmu Agama Islam menyebabkan bertambahnya kebutuhan ruang yang awalnya hanya musholla kecil di tepi Sungai Mahakam, hingga dibangunnya Masjid Jami Adji Amir Hasanoeddin. Kini Masjid Jami Adji Amir Hasanoeddin telah ditetapkan sebagai bangunan Cagar Budaya, sehingga penting untuk diteliti bagaimana karakter spasial masjid setelah mengalami pembangunan besar-besaran. Metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif dengan observasi dan wawancara terkait keadaan asli bangunan, yang dilandasi dengan teori yang berkaitan dengan karakter spasial. Dari hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa pembentuk karakter spasial dalam arsitektur Masjid Timur Tengah menjadi penentu dan katalis bagi proses pembangunan peradaban Islam yang terletak pada fungsi dengan semua dimensinya. Di Nusantara sendiri Islam masuk dan berkembang secara perlahan hingga masuk ke Kalimantan

Abstract

Jami Adji Amir Hasanoeddin mosque is a symbol of the cultural and historical development of the city, especially regarding the entry of Islam into Kutai Kartanegara. The arrival of Islam in the Kutai kingdom certainly brought great cultural influence and acculturation, including the mosque style. In the context of the development of an increasingly globalized city and as a symbol that supports the image of the city, the architectural identity of the Jami Adji Amir Hasanoeddin Mosque needs to be identified as a guide in facing possible changes. This study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The data were collected through interviews and field observations. The units of observation are determined based on the research framework compiled from the theory of architectural identity. The unit of observation for architectural identity includes spatial organization, time, semantics, design principles, building form, building materials, and context with the environment. From the results of the study, it was found that there was acculturation of Kutai, Javanese, Malay, Middle Eastern, and Dutch Indis architecture from each unit of observation of Architectural Identity.

Abstract

This paper explores the Brutalism architectural style. This style became popular in the 1950-1970s with the start of experimentation with building materials in line with the social movements of that time. This research uses an exploratory approach based on a longitudinal study of similar studies. The discussion focused on the architects' revolutionary thinking towards unique designs through form manipulation and material exploration. The results of his work show the determination of form seekers, material experimentation, and the enthusiasm of young architects for monumental architecture. Massive and unadorned reinforced concrete frames, simplicity, minimal ornamentation, small windows, and rough surfaces are usually used for government buildings, institutions, and high-rise housing. The popularity of Brutalism spread to the Far East. The formation of Brutalist architecture in Malaysia left its mark on the urban landscape, but developed into a combination of architectural compositions in architectural pedagogy.

Abstract

Jawi Temple as a relic of the Singasari Kingdom is vertically composed of three levels of buildings, namely the base, body, and roof which are terraced, tall and slender, and towering, resulting in the idea to conduct a study related to the symbolic meaning in the form of the three segments. This article is a summary of the results of qualitative research on the interpretation of the symbolic meaning of the three segments of the Jawi Temple building. The results of the study obtained show that (a) the three levels of the Jawi Temple building are interpreted as the feet, body, and top of the mountain; (b) the three levels of the Jawi Temple building are interpreted as the feet, body, and head of humans; (c) Jawi Temple contains symbolic meaning as the natural levels of Bhūrloka, Bhuvarloka, and Svarloka in Hinduism and the natural levels of Kamaloka, Rupaloka, and Arupaloka in Buddhism; (d) Jawi Temple is a symbolization of Mount Meru which has a foot, body, and peak which in its top area is the location of the Kingdom of Heaven; and (e) the four similar faces of Jawi Temple are symbolic of Cosmogony in Hinduism and the embodiment of Lord Brahmā.

Abstract

Bullying remains a critical issue in Indonesian schools, with spatial environments often influencing its occurrence. This study investigates the spatial distribution of bullying incidents across two public junior high schools in Malang City by using map-based surveys and spatial analysis. Data were collected through student questionnaires that identified bullying experiences and locations, followed by Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) using ArcGIS to identify bullying hotspots. The findings reveal that bullying is not randomly distributed but clusters in specific school areas such as classrooms, corridors, staircases, toilets, canteens, sports fields, and mosques. Physical bullying was more frequent in secluded, less supervised zones, while psychological bullying was concentrated in classrooms and semi-public social spaces. The study emphasizes the importance of spatial characteristics and supervision in shaping bullying patterns. It concludes that KDE is a valuable tool for informing design strategies and preventive interventions to create safer, more inclusive school-built environments.
