Abstract

Mosques are not merely places of worship; they also serve as complex cultural texts where spatial design and material elements express layered social and symbolic meanings. This study investigates how the interior of Masjid Saminah Sihyadi, an urban mosque in Surakarta, Indonesia, constructs meaning through its material configuration, spatial zoning, and symbolic elements. Using a Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA) approach, the research focuses on materials such as rattan and open-cell metal ceilings, pivoted krepyak windows, and copper calligraphy panels. Data were collected through visual documentation, on-site observation, and informal interviews with mosque users. The findings reveal a nuanced narrative embedded in material choices: rattan signifies warmth and intimacy, typically associated with female prayer zones, while exposed metal reinforces spatial dominance and masculine order. The pivot windows mediate openness and social fluidity, and the copper calligraphy marks spiritual authority and sacred presence. These material-spatial arrangements actively participate in shaping religious experience, gendered spatial perception, and socio-cultural narratives. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of interior architecture in religious spaces, highlighting how design operates as an agent of cultural meaning-making.

Abstract

This study analyzes the intersection of spiritual identity and architectural minimalism in the Saminah Sihyadi Mosque, Surakarta, by interpreting its spatial configuration as a multimodal cultural text. Drawing on Kress and van Leeuwen's multimodal discourse analysis, it investigates how visual and material elements—unpolished stone, wood, and natural light—function as semiotic resources communicating Javanese values and Islamic humility. Through qualitative field research combining visual documentation, spatial observation, and semi-structured interviews, the mosque's spatial elements are analyzed across three metafunctions: representational, interactive, and compositional. The findings demonstrate that meaning in this mosque is produced not through conventional symbolic markers, but through the relational interplay of material restraint, spatial permeability, and diffused light—a condition this study terms an "aesthetic of sincerity." This spatial logic articulates Javanese-Islamic values such as humility, balance, and inclusivity through embodied and atmospheric experience rather than ornamental assertion. The study concludes that contemporary mosque architecture in Indonesia is shifting toward spatially enacted religious expression, where absence of grandeur operates as a deliberate semiotic strategy. These findings suggest that multimodal semiotics offers a productive framework for analyzing religious spaces that communicate cultural identity through relational, experiential, and material means.

Abstract

This study analyzes the interior of Wisma Batari in Surakarta as a social design product by applying Victor Papanek’s function complex framework. Interior is not merely an architectural space, but a design artefact that embeds functions, needs, social contexts, symbols, and aesthetic values. The study employs a qualitative descriptive-interpretative method using visual observation and spatial analysis, complemented by thematic reading based on Papanek’s six dimensions: method, use, need, telesis, association, and aesthetics. The findings suggest that the interior of Wisma Batari forms a design system rooted in spatial efficiency, local materials as a reflection of “truth to materials,” and room configurations that support communal activity. Space is never practical alone; it also represents morality, harmony, and unity within Javanese cultural logic. The study highlights that interior heritage can be understood as a social design product that evolves through adaptive reuse and the interrelation of functions, meanings, and materiality. The implication of this research opens a critical approach toward interior heritage as a locus for ethics and social responsibility within contemporary design practices.
