Abstract

Morocco is living in a sustainable transition that touches all the fields. The urban transition seems to take a quick turn, especially after 2014, with the establishment of various eco-cities research projects, eco-neighborhoods, and the construction of green cities such as Benguerir, Bouskoura, and Ze-nata. This paper describes some research into sustainability, the parameters behind green urbanism, and the transition effects. It also explains the Moroc-can urbanism transition witnessed after colonization and the sustainability introduction to the country. This research compares two green cities, Benguerir in the south and Zenata on the Atlantic coast. Both cities are constructed by publicly owned and funded companies, providing a common ground for comparison. This paper analyses sustainability parameters target-ed by the study cases.

Abstract

The phenomena of the Acehnese traditional houses philosophy functioned as dwelling houses have shifted into simple educational building design concepts, particularly for the people who live in suburban. The concept is able to be implemented by modern society in Aceh in order to design government buildings, banking offices, and other public buildings. This study aims to identify and analyze how the philosophies of the Acehnese traditional dwelling are transformed into a modest educational facility. The focus area of study is educational facilities owned by the local community located in the suburbs. Is the level of comfort suitable for its function? The study used three stages of research methodology: (1) observation which was carried out by using a typomorphological approach; (2) analysis of elements of Acehnese traditional house construction; and (3) simulation of the factors that determine the comfort of the building. The results of this study indicate the possibility of adapting the traditional Acehnese house design concept into an educational facility. The front porch (Seuramoe Keue) of the space division in Rumoh Aceh can be transformed as Balai Pengajian Quran using wood as primary materials for construction and building.

Abstract

The architecture of Masjids has spread in areas with harsh climates and natural conditions. In previous decades, the Masjid's design was a large flat area with an inner courtyard in the middle. This architectural design of the Masjid was appropriate to the nature of the hot climate. Recently, the design of Masjids became closed and flat areas that lack ventilation and good lighting. The research paper is based on an analytical descriptive study to determine the importance of internal courtyards in historical Masjids in Egypt and the elements that affect the significance of the courtyard in contemporary Masjids. The results show the importance of using the inner courtyard when designing a modern Masjid, which achieves many positive results, regarding the climatic and social aspects, by increasing the thermal and psychological comfort of the prayers.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the background of rapid urban development in Tebuireng, an area hosting one of the oldest and most well-known pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in Indonesia. Within less than a decade, Tebuireng has run into significant development to accommodate massive number of people visiting the area. We conduct numerous field observation, mappings and in-depth interview with related actors in the area. Content analysis method is carried out to figure out the objective of this research. The study found that faith, known as ‘Ngalap Barokah’ is the main basis for the process of city formation and determines how the urban actors utilize the urban space. Considering the huge numbers of Islam believers in Indonesia, it is important to understand the aspects of faith that affect the urban growth, especially in the cities dominated by Moslem population. Finally, the finding of this faith based morphological research is potentially contributed for the practice of Indonesian urban planning, especially for anticipating the city growth dominated by Moslem stake holders.

Abstract

The development of Palembang city is progressing rapidly while traditional limas houses are increasingly rare. As a result, the local context regarding the rules for building limas has become rare and not documented. This is unfortunate considering that limas have architectural and cultural records related to the history of Palembang City, starting from the Austronesian, Hindu-Buddhist, and Taoist to the Islamic period. This study seeks to find the rules of horizontal proportion used in the construction of limas and their relation with the cultural values of society. Researchers explored the dulang,a circular container that holds plates for serving food to eight people, as the base module that builds the floor area of a limas. Data were collected from 50 limas in Palembang City, consisting of 20 four-bengkilas limas (4BL) and 30 three-bengkilas limas (3BL). The results show that 3BL is generally made with four dulang on the front and seven dulang on the side. In comparison, 4BL are built with five dulang on the semi-public side of the bengkilas, three dulang on the back, and seven dulang on the side. Furthermore, the researcher shows that this proportion rule is changed across time in line with the smaller house size. This change signifies the decline of collectivism from a concrete principle to a merely symbolic one. This decline is associated with an increase in the individual's economy and standard of living. This research has implications for efforts to standardize the Palembang limas house model for conserving the city's cultural heritage.

Abstract

Al-Wustho Mangkunegaran Mosque is one of the historical mosques in Surakarta, located in the Mangkunegaran Palace area. Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Mangkunegara-I initiated the construction. The mosque belongs to Mangkunegaran palace and is protected as a cultural heritage building. The purpose of this research is to find 1). the historical value of the building, 2). various philosophical values that underlie the shape/embodiment of the structure (spatial planning, building form, decorative arts), 3). contextual matters related to the function and condition of the Al-Wustho Mangkunegaran Mosque. The methods used are 1. historical plot tracing, building artifacts tracing through primary and secondary sources, 2. Interviews with mosque/marbot holders, community users, and community leaders. 3. Reference studies, analysis, and synthesis. The historical values are indicated by the existence of the palace mosque which is a cultural heritage building. The King besides being a ruler is also a religious leader (panatagama). The philosophical values are reflected in the design, construction, symbols, and ornamentation of mosques that contain Islamic philosophy. Located on a three-stack tajug roof, calligraphic ornamentation on gates, doors, windows, and columns is a reminder to be closer to Allah. The contextual values of the building are seen in the blending style of Javanese, European and Islamic cultures. The mosque also functions for the benefit of the people as the embodiment of rahmatan lil Alamin.

Abstract

The condition of the grand mosques in the Boyolali, Surakarta, and Karanganyar areas currently does not consider facilities that can accommodate people with disabilities. This study aims to improve the accessibility of mosque facili-ties and provide proposals for designing facilities that are accessible for mosque worshipers, including those with disabilities. The object of this re-search consists of several great mosques located in Boyolali, Surakarta, and Karanganyar. The accessible congregation is used to conduct access audits using a questionnaire to assess the level of accessibility as well as to deter-mine the priority of the selected mosque, and then design the mosque facili-ties using AutoCAD software concerning the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing No. 14 of 2017. The results of the congregation show that 4 mosques are not accessible and 1 mosque is less accessible. Based on the analysis, it shows that the Madaniyah Great Mosque located in Karanganyar was chosen to be the object of the proposed improve-ment because it has the highest accessibility index value and the current condition of the mosque is the most likely to be repaired, so that mosque facilities are accessible for people with disabilities. The proposal to improve facilities at the Great Madaniyah mosque is to provide a unique parking lot with a size of 5 m x 2.3 m, provide an incline with a slope of 5° and have handrails on both sides, provide two types of ablution places, namely with a seat and no seat, provide toilets equipped with kick plates, automatic hinges, panic buttons, and handrails; provide lifts with handles on all sides and a lift size of 120 cm x 230 cm; provide signs or signs in unique parking lots; add signposts; provide a particular prayer area and a special lane located close to the entrance to the prayer area.

Abstract

The fast-changing growth of new developments in a Malay Royal Town to create new attractions with various forms of architectural expressions has given a direct impression on the street level, affecting the survival of the buildings along a heritage area. As a result, it will tarnish the original character of the place and disappear the image. A deficit of visual representation for injecting place attachment through the traditional plant motif symbolizes cultural value. This paper aims to identify the qualitative responses to the visual representation of plant motifs in enhancing the royal Town of Kuala Kangsar, conducted semi-structured interview participants based on purposive sampling, including professionals, policymakers, and skilled practitioners categories. The data was analyzed through qualitative coding using Atlas Ti 8.0. The significant findings reveal that the Kalumpang Flower motif, the Melur Flower Motif, and the Motif of Asam Batu leaf is the plant's motif element categorized under the royal image motif, which has a specific meaning related to the historical and cultural background. Most importantly, this finding contributes to assessing the details of the plants' motif representation to assist the city council in preserving the unique and valuable historical heritage of the place image of the Royal Town Kuala Kangsar, Perak.
