Abstract

Societies continuously move toward what is perceived as a “better” condition. From myth to reason, from geocentrism to heliocentrism, and from colonization to revolution, these shifts mark fundamental changes in how societies construct knowledge and meaning. This study examines the influence of postmodernism and commercialization on vernacular architecture in Indonesia, with a specific focus on the transformation of spatial hierarchy within traditional houses. Using a qualitative and interpretative approach, the research analyzes how postmodern architectural ideals, such as plurality, symbolism, and contextual expression interact with market-driven pressures in shaping contemporary adaptations of vernacular forms. The study focuses on Indonesian traditional houses, particularly Joglo and Batak Toba dwellings, while selected postmodern architectural works are employed as a theoretical framework rather than primary objects of analysis. The findings indicate that commercialization not only affects architectural form and materiality but also reconfigures spatial hierarchy, altering traditional distinctions between sacred and profane, public and private, and central and peripheral spaces. This study argues that understanding changes in spatial hierarchy is crucial for critically assessing the impact of postmodernism and commercialization on vernacular architecture, and for addressing the challenges of preserving cultural meaning within evolving urban and socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

This study introduces a novel integration of dynamic electrochromic glazing and CIGS photovoltaics tailored to the tropical heritage context of Lawang Sewu, aiming to provide a replicable retrofit model for similar Southeast Asian climates, focusing on Lawang Sewu, a colonial-era landmark in Semarang, Indonesia. The research integrates field measurements, simulation analyses, and retrofit modelling to assess indoor environmental quality across four functionally distinct rooms over one year. Retrofit interventions included electrochromic glazing, energy recovery ventilation, and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) photovoltaic systems—a flexible thin-film solar technology suitable for heritage facades. Results revealed that electrochromic glazing reduced heating demands, while PV integration achieved up to 90.46% annual energy savings. Seasonal variation and occupancy patterns were found to significantly influence thermal conditions. The PA_RN package—combining passive and renewable solutions—was identified as the optimal retrofit approach, balancing energy performance, thermal comfort, and heritage aesthetics. The study underscores the potential for achieving sustainability in heritage structures through context-sensitive retrofitting, offering a replicable model for similar buildings in tropical climates.

Abstract

This study examines indoor air quality (IAQ) in Poltekkes Riau's laboratory building through systematic measurement of six parameters: CO₂, HCHO, TVOC, PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 per Minister of Health Regulation No. 48/2016. Direct measurements were conducted in ten laboratories under three operational conditions (active use, no activity, ventilation shutdown) across different time intervals. Results reveal significant deviations from standards: 60% of spaces exceeded CO₂ limits during active use, while PM2.5 and PM10 exceeded thresholds in 90% of measured spaces. Notably, 70% of rooms exceeded formaldehyde limits and 80% exceeded TVOC limits, particularly in spaces with MDF materials. Original findings document passive off-gassing phenomena where formaldehyde peaked during non-occupancy periods, and establish correlations between architectural features and multi-pollutant accumulation. Recommendations include strategic exhaust fan placement, low-VOC materials, and cross-ventilation systems for tropical educational environments, supporting the urgent need for updated building regulations addressing multi-pollutant environments in health education facilities.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that several key elements, including economic development, art and cultural engagement, participatory stakeholder involvement, and collaborative management, intersect with the concept of creative placemaking. This intersection suggests that, as the creative placemaking process impacts a wide array of interests, the reinforcement of creativity has, in some cases, diminished the recognition of its foundational contributions. The aim of this study is to explore how innovative placemaking can support regenerative strategy in development within a specific or thematic context, such as historical or protected sites. This research focuses on innovative placemaking strategies as essential components of notable socio-spatial concepts in specific geographies, including their unique natural features. To achieve this, a systematic literature review was conducted, examining creative placemaking research from around the world across all times. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and utilized three major academic databases: Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), and Science Direct. Through the process, five key thematic areas of creative placemaking were identified: (1) Cultural well-being, (2) Income generation, (3) Sectoral inclusion, (4) Art and creative endeavours, and (5) Context-specific settings. The primary aim of this study is to address a gap in the literature on creative placemaking, particularly in specialized or themed contexts, contributing to a more profound understanding of its role on contributed dimension in regenerative strategy.

Abstract

Contemporary cafe interior design not only serves as an aesthetic element but also plays a significant role in shaping visitors' emotional experiences. This study examines the influence of Instagrammable cafe interior design on visitors' emotional responses from a psychological perspective. The objectives of this study are to analyze the impact of interior design elements on cafe visitors' emotional reactions, examine the concept of Instagrammability as a factor influencing cafe visitors' perceptions and emotions, and identify opportunities for visitors to reorder and revisit the cafe. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing semi-structured interviews and field observations to collect data from two Gen-Z cafe visitors. This study utilizes Don Norman's emotional design theory, which is divided into three levels: visceral, behavioural, and reflective. The results of this study indicate that design elements such as colour, lighting, and spatial concepts are positively correlated with increased positive emotions in visitors. These findings also strengthen the role of interior design as a visual communication medium creating an emotional atmosphere in cafe spaces that supports daily activities, relaxation, and digital activities such as sharing photos on social media. The results of this study can be a reference for interior designers and cafe owners in designing spaces that are not only visually appealing but also consider the psychological aspects of the space's users.

Abstract

Building orientation and the window-to-wall ratio (WWR) are two critical factors affecting thermal comfort in educational buildings located in tropical climates. This study aims to examine how orientation and variations in WWR influence indoor air temperature through case studies of the FMIPA and FIAI buildings at Universitas Islam Indonesia. Simulations were conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess airflow and temperature distribution across different orientation and WWR scenarios. The results reveal that a north–south orientation yields a more stable temperature distribution, while a 40% WWR is optimal for balancing daylight and heat gain. The findings underscore the importance of passive design strategies in enhancing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in tropical educational facilities. Keywords: Building Orientation, Indoor Air Temperature, Thermal Comfort, Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR), Educational Buildings

Abstract

This study appraises the availability and level of decay of basic infrastructure in primary schools within Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Nigeria. Using a method of stratified random sampling, twenty private and public primary schools were selected. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, interviews, and direct observations. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that most private schools are well managed and equipped, unlike the public schools, which have a high degree of inadequate basic infrastructure. This implies that private schools were more proactive in infrastructure management, ensuring regular maintenance and better resource allocation. The result of the ANOVA test revealed significant differences between the basic infrastructure availability of and its level of decay between public and private primary schools. The study concludes that the state of infrastructure in public primary schools poses serious challenges to effective teaching and learning. It therefore recommends a proactive approach, particularly preventive maintenance through collaborative effort.

Abstract

This research explores the preservation of decorative motifs in the Bandung Grand Mosque through digitization as an effort to safeguard Islamic and Sundanese cultural heritage. Although the mosque has been widely discussed in architectural studies, systematic documentation of its ornaments is still limited. This study addresses that gap by digitizing geometric motifs and analyzing their structural complexity. A qualitative approach with a comparative strategy was applied, involving literature review, field observation, and digitization using CorelDRAW software. The findings show that geometric ornamentation dominates the mosque with varying levels of complexity depending on its line intersections and the number of geometric repetitions or tessellations. The study produces a publicly accessible digital catalog that preserves the accuracy of ornamental forms and supports their reuse in education, design, and cultural conservation. The results demonstrate that digitization is an effective method for documenting traditional ornaments while opening new possibilities for contemporary motif development.
