Abstract

Historic areas play an important role in the cultural and architectural identity of a region. In a historic area, the local government, in this case BPK2LK, conserves historical relics not only in the old building rows, but also in the surrounding area. This aims to provide an area identity to revive and improve the area's economy. In the Kesawan area which is one of the historical areas, the implementation of revitalization of the area by widening the pedestrian area. This is to provide comfort and activate the pedestrian function as a support for the historic tourism area in Kesawan. But an evaluation study is needed on the effectiveness of the function of the pedestrian path, on the basis of observations there are several congestion problems due to smaller vehicle lanes and the quantity of vehicles that increase every day. Another problem is that there is no bus stop, so public transportation uses the road to lower and raise passengers. Pedestrians who are already larger and more comfortable, have not increased the quantity of pedestrians. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the success of the pedestrian function in the Kesawan area after the pedestrian area underwent reconstruction. Research methods carried out with qualitative and quantitative approaches through field surveys, interviews, questionnaires, statistical data processing. The analysis was carried out using SWOT analysis to get a comprehensive picture of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in the function of pedestrian paths in historic areas. The research output shows the success of changes to road widening in the pedestrian area in Kesawan which shows 85% stated that pedestrians in the area feel comfortable with the presence of street furniture. This facility allows pedestrian users to enjoy the historic area in the area. However, there are still some shortcomings such as poor facilities such as the lack of trash bins that make this area less clean. Nevertheless, this widening area can be recommended to the community to maximize the use of pedestrians.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization has given rise to the urgent need for efficient and sustainable housing solutions, especially in tropical areas such as Medan City. One of the approaches that is considered effective in answering this challenge is the application of bioclimatic architecture in vertical buildings, such as apartments. This study aims to analyze how the principles of bioclimatic architecture can be applied optimally and produce apartment design concepts to improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The methods used include literature studies, contextual analysis of local climate, digital simulations, case studies of five building projects, and design concept development. The analysis was carried out on elements such as building orientation, cross ventilation, the use of environmentally friendly materials, as well as transition spaces and vegetation. The results of the analysis show that the application of bioclimatic elements is consistently able to reduce energy consumption and improve the comfort of residents, especially in hot and humid tropical climate conditions. The study concludes that apartment design with a bioclimatic approach is not only relevant, but also indispensable to support sustainable urban living.

Abstract

Slum settlements remain a global challenge requiring localized and sustainable interventions. Kampung Aur, located in Medan City along the Deli River, is one such densely populated urban area classified as a slum. Considering its environmental risks, social conditions, and flood vulnerability, this study aims to formulate a vertical kampung (vertical village) strategy as a renewal solution rooted in the community’s local character. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, using field observations, interviews, and spatial analysis in Neighborhood Units III and IV. The findings highlight Kampung Aur’s strategic potential in terms of historical value, socio-cultural resilience, and proximity to urban and commercial centers, which make it a viable candidate for vertical upgrading. Four alternative massing models are proposed—low-rise blocks, high-rise slabs, courtyard and tower, and high-rise cluster—each assessed for spatial efficiency, ventilation, flood resistance, and livability. The study further recommends integrated strategies including improved microclimate design, green open spaces, and functional zoning to enhance social interaction and environmental resilience. In conclusion, vertical kampung development represents a context-sensitive transformation strategy for waterfront slum areas. Its success relies on participatory planning, socio-economic empowerment, and the preservation of local identity within a sustainable and inclusive urban framework.

Abstract

Green architecture, also known as sustainable architecture, is a concept in architecture that has characteristics and focuses on environmentally friendly architecture. The important points of green architecture include minimising the consumption of natural resources, energy efficiency, wise and sustainable use of water, and non-polluting and recyclable materials. In educational buildings, the concept of green architecture is very important to use, not only to reduce emissions and global warming, but also because green architecture significantly influences the performance or comfort of people inside when learning. The purpose of this study is to understand how the concept of green architecture is applied in the buildings of the Polytechnic of Chemical Industry Technology (PTKI) campus in Medan. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, which involves describing or explaining existing conditions in the field through analysis and extensive discussion to identify results and conclusions. The application of green architecture in buildings is assessed using the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) green architecture indicators. The findings of this study indicate that the PTKI campus meets three main GBCI green architecture indicators: appropriate land use, material sources and cycles, and air quality and comfort.

Abstract

Masjid lama gang Bengkok is one of the historical heritage sites in Medan City, reflecting the integration of Malay and Chinese cultures within an Islamic context. Built around 1874 with the support of Tjong A Fie, a prominent Chinese figure during the Deli Sultanate era, the mosque features traditional Malay architectural styles with Chinese influences visible in its ornamentation and structural elements. Currently, the mosque’s physical condition is relatively well-preserved, but it faces environmental pressures from urban development and a lack of adequate historical interpretation systems. This study aims to identify the historical, architectural, and social values embodied in the mosque and to develop contextual preservation strategies. The research employs a qualitative approach through observation, literature review, and community interviews. The findings recommend community-based preservation, minor restoration, and the enhancement of historical narratives within public spaces.

Abstract

The Kesawan Corridor in Medan City is a historic district lined with colonial-era buildings of high architectural and historical value. However, many of these structures have experienced physical deterioration and functional obsolescence due to changing urban dynamics and lack of proper conservation. This research aims to assess the feasibility of adaptive reuse as a sustainable preservation strategy for historic buildings in this area. A qualitative case study approach was employed, including visual observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The potential buildings examined include the AVROS Building, London Sumatra Building, the Old Bank Indonesia, the former Warenhuis, and Tjong A Fie Mansion as a benchmark of successful conservation. The findings reveal that most of these buildings have high potential for new uses—commercial, educational, or cultural—if approached with context-sensitive and historically respectful strategies. Adaptive reuse presents a viable path for urban heritage revitalization in Medan

Abstract

Convention Hall can be interpreted as a building with the function of meeting activities carried out by a group of people in discussing an activity either nationally or internationally. The design of the Convention Hall building in a university environment aims to provide a multifunctional space that can support various academic, social, and cultural activities. This building is expected to be a center of activity that supports the internal needs of the campus, such as seminars, conferences, graduations, scientific discussions, and student events, as well as being open to external activities such as exhibitions and community events. In addition to fulfilling its main function as a meeting center, this building is also equipped with supporting facilities, such as a waiting room, pantry, exhibition area, and audio-visual technical room. The design research for this convention hall building uses an organic architectural approach, namely architecture that harmonizes buildings and the surrounding nature of the site using its principles.

Abstract

A halfway house is a temporary residence that functions as a place for treatment or to wait for the scheduled queue for treatment at RSUD Dr. Soetomo. Considering the large number of patients referred to the hospital, the role of halfway houses is very important, especially for underprivileged residents. The biggest problem that patients in halfway houses face is feeling lazy about seeking treatment so they don't have a sense of optimism about getting better. The desire to recover can be achieved if the patient's environmental conditions are very supportive in the process of creating feelings of calm, eliminating stress, positive perceptions, and developing a sense of enthusiasm in carrying out treatment. Therefore, in-depth research is needed to explore and understand how the application of behavioral architecture principles can influence the comfort level of patients in Surabaya halfway houses. From the results of the study, it was found that the shelter in Surabaya had implemented the principles of behavioral architecture, the design and layout of the space in this building had taken into account ergonomics or the condition of cancer patients. The spatial planning factors, size and shape, furniture, color, sound, temperature and lighting in this building are in accordance with its function. However, it is still not friendly for wheelchair users. Even so, the patient's condition is maintained because he feels comfortable and can speed up the healing process.
