Abstract

Surabaya as a metropolitan city, in this era is facing high business activities, economy, education, entertainment and residential needs. The presence of high rise supported by construction technology such as materials or structures, is a solution and opportunity for architecture to answer problems in urban areas by creating buildings that are comfortable and safe for residents and the environment. Starting with the establishment of Wisma BII in 1992 as the first high rise milestone, Surabaya continues to experience rapid development in high rise development. In this research there are 83 high rise buildings in Surabaya that will be analyzed by comparing the main parameters such as function, form, and material. It was found that most of the high rises developed into a mixed use with a setback form and the main structural material is concrete. The analysis was conducted using data from journals and the Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) and produced relevant findings. This research is expected to be useful for architects and urban developers in supporting sustainable development in Surabaya.

Abstract

The phenomenon of urban canyons, characterized by narrow street corridors flanked by dense vertical building masses, has emerged in many city centers, including the Tunjungan (CBD) in Surabaya, resulting in a decline in environmental quality and pedestrian comfort. This study aims to explore the spatial potential of loose spaces, defined as remaining or underutilized urban spaces, as potential urban pores in the context of dense urban canyons. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through direct field observations and visual documentation. Six loose space locations along the Tunjungan corridor were selected and analyzed using six qualitative parameters derived from the theory of loose spaces and urban porosity, adapted to local conditions. The findings indicate that several loose spaces possess spatial characteristics that indicate ecological and social potential, particularly in relation to spatial openness and opportunities for social interaction. This study positions loose spaces as an initial spatial resource that can inform future urban strategies that help address urban canyon conditions in urban areas.
