Abstract

Teba, being an essential component of traditional Balinese dwellings, holds a significant role in community assignments, historical and societal contexts of Balinese culture, and ecological sustainability. Nevertheless, the process of urbanization and shifts in lifestyle have resulted in a decrease in Teba spaces and their conversion into less ecologically sustainable regions. This article explores initiatives to rejuvenate the design of Teba spaces in traditional Balinese houses to uphold a harmonious coexistence between environmental and cultural conservation in contemporary times. This research explores techniques and design solutions for Teba places that can effectively adapt to evolving circumstances while upholding traditional values. By doing so, it seeks to promote both environmental and cultural sustainability. This study employs a qualitative and ethnographic methodology to investigate ways for revitalization. These strategies involve the utilization of natural and local materials, the implementation of sustainable design techniques, and the creation of flexible and multifunctional spatial arrangements. The findings suggest that the restoration of Teba contributes to preserving biodiversity and enhancing air quality, reinforces cultural identity, and promotes sustainable tourism development. Integrating traditional techniques with modern technologies can optimize the functionality of Teba as both a productive green area and a center for cultural preservation. Hence, cooperation among architects, government entities, and the community is crucial in developing inventive and sustainable design solutions that enhance the cultural heritage of Bali within evolving circumstances.

Abstract

People with disabilities in Indonesia still often face limitations in accessing public facilities that meet their needs. This highlights the importance of providing disability support facilities that meet standards, especially in public spaces, for community interaction. One example of a public facility that accommodates the community is an art building, the Dharma Negara Alaya (DNA) Arts Building, located in Denpasar City, Bali Province. This study aims to analyze the standardization of supporting facilities for people with disabilities in the Dharma Negara Alaya Arts Building, focusing on accessible toilet facilities. The analysis was carried out based on the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works Number 30 of 2006, which regulates technical guidelines for facilities and accessibility in building structures and the environment. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews with building users to evaluate the adequacy and suitability of the design of accessible toilet facilities. The study results on the Implementation of accessible toilet facilities in the Alaya Building have followed the standards by the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works of 2006 concerning Guidelines for Technical Requirements for Buildings, and the availability of toilet facilities has been met. However, some design deficiencies still need to be fixed or improved, such as the use of door materials, the room size not yet optimal for standard movement, and no elbow ramps to help wheelchair users access. There are no sanitary facilities or special washbasins for people with disabilities. This research is expected to provide insight into fulfilling the needs of inclusive design for people with disabilities and provide recommendations for improving accessibility at the Dharma Negara Alaya Arts Building, especially for accessible toilet facilities.

Abstract

This study examines the engineering and application of sustainable composite materials as an alternative to traditional Balinese architectural ornaments through a comparative analysis of four material types: fiberglass, precast concrete, glass fiber-reinforced cement (GRC), and artificial sandstone. The scarcity of natural materials, growing ecological pressures, and the demand for economic efficiency and ease of production have driven the exploration of engineered materials that can represent Balinese architecture's aesthetic, symbolic, and spiritual values. The research employs a descriptive-qualitative methodology involving field observations, in-depth interviews with local artisans, and an analysis of each material's technical and cultural characteristics. Fiberglass and GRC stand out for their form flexibility and suitability for mass production, while precast concrete offers superior structural durability and long-term maintenance efficiency. Meanwhile, community-driven innovations in artificial sandstone exhibit strong potential for preserving traditional values while addressing contemporary sustainability challenges. The findings suggest that no single material emerges as universally superior; therefore, material selection should be context-dependent, considering both economic feasibility and cultural compatibility. The study concludes that integrating material innovation into traditional architecture must be grounded in circular economy principles, active community participation, and a deep understanding of vernacular values. These insights are expected to serve as a strategic reference for material selection in preserving Balinese cultural heritage while supporting the contextual and competitive development of the local creative industry within the Southeast Asian region.

Abstract

The rise of urban culture and flexible work trends has redefined cafés as alternative workspaces, prompting the need for interior designs that are both sustainable and adaptive. However, many café environments still lack a holistic integration of local cultural values and emerging technologies to support prolonged, productive work. This study proposes a sustainable interior design model for urban cafés that combines cultural identity with innovative technological solutions to enhance user comfort. Using a qualitative methodology, the research involved field observations, semi-structured interviews, ergonomic evaluations, and digital environmental simulations, conducted in Renon, Denpasar—a vibrant urban area in Bali. Results indicate that incorporating cultural elements, such as material patterns, spatial layouts, and symbolic aesthetics, along with bright lighting, efficient ventilation, and ergonomic furniture, significantly improves functionality and user well-being. Users identified key comfort factors including lighting, furniture design, zoning, acoustics, and air quality. The study emphasizes the need for an interdisciplinary approach that fuses design engineering, local culture, and intelligent systems to create flexible, user-centered environments. Nine integrative design strategies are proposed to support both work productivity and cultural resonance. These findings provide practical insights for architects, designers, and café developers seeking to create meaningful and adaptable spaces in tropical urban settings. On a broader scale, the research contributes to the global discourse on non-traditional workspace design by presenting a replicable framework that aligns with sustainable urban development and the evolving work dynamics of the digital era.
