Abstract

Indonesia's contemporary architecture has developed in response to globalisation, urbanisation, and modernisation, striking a balance between regional customs and global tendencies. This research analyses projects displayed at the Indonesian Architects Week (IAW) 2024 exhibition in order to investigate the state of contemporary architecture in Indonesia. Key architectural trends in residential, office, hospitality, commercial, government, and public areas are highlighted by the research, which groups these projects according to their function and geographic distribution. The results show that private-sector demands drive contemporary architectural practices, with Java and Bali & Nusa Tenggara having the highest concentration of projects, while Sumatra, Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua & Maluku continue to be under-represented. A trend towards mixed-use architectural designs is also noted in the report, as demonstrated by buildings that combine several uses, including office-commercial, government-public, and residential-office hybrids. Despite these revelations, the study's limitations include its only dependence on exhibition data and the absence of primary research methods like stakeholder participation, field observations, or interviews. It does not, therefore, offer a completely generalisable depiction of modern architectural techniques in Indonesia. However, it provides a useful foundation for further research into the innovations, problems, and trends influencing Indonesia's built environment. To gain a more thorough grasp of how Indonesian contemporary architecture is still changing within regional, cultural, and economic contexts, future research should apply direct architectural analysis and larger datasets.

Abstract

This study examines the application of mosque architectural elements in the design of KAPSARC Mosque in Saudi Arabia, which represents a contemporary architectural approach in response to sustainability and modernization issues. Unlike traditional mosques that feature domes, minarets, columns, and arches as key elements, KAPSARC Mosque reinterprets these components with a more minimalist and innovative design. The dome is omitted and replaced with a flat, cube-shaped roof, while arches are substituted with visual transitions through reflective pools and natural lighting. The minaret is retained but integrated more seamlessly with the main building, reinforcing the mosque's identity in a modern urban context. This study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method, relying on secondary data, including architectural documentation, academic studies, and visual sources, to analyze four key architectural elements of the mosque: dome, minaret, columns and arches, and ornamentation. The findings reveal that KAPSARC Mosque introduces a new paradigm in Islamic architecture by prioritizing innovative design while maintaining spiritual values and Islamic identity. However, this study has limitations, as it relies solely on secondary data without direct observations or interviews with the mosque’s designers and users. Therefore, further research is needed to explore worshippers' perceptions and the impact of the design on spiritual and social experiences. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolution of mosque architecture in responding to contemporary changes and sustainability challenges.
