Abstract

Kotagede is one of the districts in Yogyakarta with many historical sites. However, because of the dense morphology of the area that is characterised by small alleys, creating an atmosphere gap between the main street and the village tourism kampung. One of Kotagede's attractions, the silver crafts industries, is a sector that utilises much of the main street space in the form of retail shops. This study aims to explore the character of silver craft industry on Kotagede's main streets using the genius loci phenomenological method. Three parameters of image, space and character were used as the unit of analysis to identify the spirit of the area on Mondorakan and Kemasan streets. The results of the literature study and field observations show that both streets function as landmarks and representations of the silver industry sites. The results of the study are expected to be one of the references in the implementation of the revitalisation of tourist areas in Kotagede.

Abstract

Rapid urban densification, environmental constraints, and socio-economic pressures have intensified interest in compact living environments. Although research on tiny houses and small dwellings has expanded, existing studies remain fragmented, emphasizing technical performance, sustainability, or lifestyle motivations without providing a coherent theoretical foundation for spatial smallness. This study develops Tiny Space Architecture (TSA) as a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes spatial limitation as a generative and ethical architectural condition. Using a dialectical-critical approach, it systematically reviews and interprets philosophical and architectural literature published between 1800 and 2025 through conceptual mapping, comparative analysis, and theoretical synthesis. The findings identify three architectural registers of tiny space and formulate five core concepts: spatial compression, spatial fluidity, architecture as control, conditions of scarcity, and recalibration of relief. Integrated through ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions, these concepts define TSA. The study positions spatial limitation as a productive rather than deficient design condition, providing a theoretical foundation for future research on compact living, sustainability, and spatial justice.
