Abstract

Water is one of the natural resources that support entire creature’s needs in earth. It was also a key element of sustainable living. The important of water is proved by fact that human body were consists of 80% water which makes daily water needs is definitely important. Same thing was happen on earth which also consists of 71 % water.  Unfortunately,  nowadays qualities  as well  as quantities  of  water is getting  poor caused many environmental decline. Those situation is feel quite irony, first is because in one side human are depending on water badly, and in another side, qualities and quantities water have been decreasing because of their own. This environmental issue, especially water was realized by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) by starting to be a first pioneer in Green Sustainability Campus in Malaysia.  Although UKM is located in water-rich country, still UKM try to commit to save environment as well as manage its environment aspect. The usage of water in UKM itself is categorized in high level. UKM have around 20.000 students and most of them are dwelling in campus.  For  big  campus  like  this,  UKM  had  one  main  Mosque  which  accommodates  some  daily  worship  of Moslem as the majority one. For activities like ablution, washing and bathing, UKM Mosque had produce quite big  amount  of  grey  water.  Grey  water itself  is residual  water that  still fresh  and can  be recycled for some purposes such as landscape irrigation and cleaning service. One alternative method to treats the grey water is by the usage of filter wells. This paper is trying to analysis and proposes some design of grey water system in UKM mosque in order to save environment. With proper grey water treatment, UKM Mosque will contribute to save water and UKM’s environment. This successful water treatment is also can be an alternative model to apply in another building.

Abstract

AbstractGod created human as caliph on this earth. Caliph means leader, care-taker and guardian. Therefore humans have an obligation to maintain, preserve and conserve this natural for future generations. Today we see a lot of damage that occurs in the earth caused by human behavior. Islam saw the whole of nature as a place of prayer that must be maintained its cleanliness and purity. Therefore as Muslims we need to preserve nature as we keep our place of prayer. The main objective of this paper is to re-questioning and re-interpreting the idea of sustainability in Islamic Architecture through a critical analysis of first project of 2nd year architecture student of UKM which is the “Temporary Praying Platform”. The discussion itself will be divided into three (3) main parts. The first part will be discussing contemporary issues in Islamic Architecture especially in the design of Mosques while the second part will expand the framework of sustainability in Islamic Architecture. The last part will be analyzing some sample of design submission by 2nd year students of UKM on the temporary praying platform project. It is expected that this paper can start a further discussion on the inner meaning in Islam and how it was implemented in the design of praying spaces in the future.Keywords:  Sustainability, Islamic Architecture, Temporary Praying PlatformAbstrakTuhan menciptakan manusia sebagai khalifah di muka bumi ini. Khalifah berarti pemimpin, penjaga dan wali. Oleh karena itu, manusia memiliki kewajiban untuk memelihara, menjaga dan melestarikan alam ini untuk generasi mendatang. Sekaranginikitatelahmelihat banyak kerusakan yang terjadi di bumi yang disebabkan oleh perilaku manusia itu sendiri yang disebutkan sebagai khalifah di bumi. Islam melihat seluruh alam sebagai tempat beribadah yang harus dijaga kebersihan dan kemurniannya, oleh karena itu, sebagai umat Islam adalah perlu melestarikan alam seperti menjaga tempat ibadah mereka. Tujuan utama dari makalah ini adalah untuk mempertanyakan dan menafsirkan kembali gagasan keberlanjutan (sustainable) dalam Arsitektur Islam melalui analisis kritis tugas  pertama dari mahasiswa arsitektur angkatan  tahun  kedua dari Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), yaitu tugas perancangan " tempat beribadah sementara "atau “temporary praying platform” . Kajiandibagi menjadi tiga bagian utama. Bagian pertama akan membahas isu-isu kontemporer dalam Arsitektur Islam terutama dalam desain masjid. Kajian kedua adalah kerangka keberlanjutan dalam arsitektur Islam. Bagian ketiga adalah analisis dari beberapa sampel pengajuan desain oleh mahasiswa. Diharapkan tulisan ini dapat memulai diskusi lebih lanjut tentang makna batin dalam Islam dan bagaimana penerapannya dalam desain ruang beribadah yang sustainable.Kata kunci:Keberlanjutan, Arsitektur Islam, tempat beribadah sementara

Abstract

Malaysia to become seeks to become a fully developed country by 2020. Among nine central challenges demonstrated in the body of the “Vision 2020” is “the challenge of establishing a fully caring society” (WAWASAN 2020). Along with developed societies overcoming such dysfunctional built environments has become under consideration in Malaysia as well to remove barriers and provide equal access of people with disabilities (PWDS) to all public services. Notwithstanding practical steps taken, there are still dissatisfactions from the members of public toward public buildings which cause restriction in PWDS daily life. Previous studies has also raised claims against inaccessibility of mosque buildings as well.  In order to realization of a barrier-free built environment for a huge portion of Malaysia population, this research aimed to investigate accessibility and usability of Malaysian mosques for PWDS. Masjid Negara was selected for the purpose of this study. The most recent revision of available Malaysian Standard of MS 1184:2014, “Universal Design and Accessibility in the Built Environment - Code of Practice”, became the reference in this study. A comprehensive evaluation checklist was constructed for the purpose of a systematic observation including 162 checkpoints under 22 items of accessibility.

Abstract

The focus of this study is the issue of reorganizing the preexisting Islamic Geometric Patterns found at the Cheng Ho Mosque via the use of computer modeling techniques. The need for computer modeling research for rearranging geometric patterns at the Cheng Ho Mosque may be attributed to many factors. The objective is to use digitization to streamline the ornamental design process. The study methodology used included the analysis of geometric forms, which were then processed and patterned using Parametric Islamic Geometric Patterns with the assistance of Grasshopper software. This study employs the Islamic octagonal archetype, similar to Chinese geometric ornamentation, using circular geometry with a radius input, as discussed in the preceding article. The inclusion of the division shape serves as a necessary limitation to facilitate the cutting of the recurring patterns. The findings indicate that the algorithmic technique is constructed using a collection of parameter inputs organized into four primary components: octagonal basis geometry, repetition procedure, partition or boundary-shaped surface, and material dimension simulation. However, it also demonstrates varying parameter inputs, posing challenges in organizing them accurately to generate the octagonal form. Visual scripts may effectively depict Islamic geometry in open systems that exhibit parametric adaptability to the fundamental principles of division. During the design processing phase, it is possible to exert control over the pattern proportions in some instances.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) in mosque architecture as both a digital innovation and a cultural intervention. Using qualitative case studies of three iconic mosques in Indonesia: Al-Jabbar (Bandung), Sheikh Zayed (Solo), and Hubbul Wathan (Lombok), the research analyzes how QRIS impacts visitor experience, philanthropic participation, and the preservation of architectural and cultural values. Drawing on theories of technology acceptance, vernacular architecture, and experiential learning, the study finds that QRIS can enrich mosque functionality without disrupting sacred spatial aesthetics. It also reveals the importance of inclusive design in ensuring that digital tools benefit diverse visitor groups. While emphasizing the transformative potential of QRIS, the study also notes challenges related to digital literacy and infrastructural disparities. This research contributes to current debates on digital heritage, smart religious spaces, and the adaptive use of technology in sustaining Islamic cultural identity.
