Abstract

Variations in interior elements, such as colour, lighting, spatial scale, and exhibition layout, can create distinct spatial atmospheres that influence how visitors perceive and behave in gallery settings. This study investigates the relationship between interior spatial qualities and visitor movement in the Indonesian National Gallery. Employing a qualitative observational approach, the research involved direct documentation of visitor paths, time spent in each room, types of activities, and spatial preferences. Eight gallery rooms were evaluated based on observable interior characteristics, including ceiling and wall colours, lighting contrast, spatial layout, and display arrangement. The findings reveal that certain interior qualities, such as smooth lighting contrast, open circulation, and balanced display arrangements, encourage more extended stays and interactive behaviors like lingering and photography. In contrast, high visual contrast, clustered displays, or enclosed layouts may prompt visitors to move more quickly through the space. This study also demonstrates the value of combining qualitative spatial judgments with behavioural observations to explore how design elements influence visitor experience. While exploratory, the method provides a framework for further research in evaluating gallery design to create more engaging and emotionally resonant spatial experiences.

Abstract

Lasem, Central Java, reflects a rich blend of Javanese and Chinese heritage, offering both opportunities and challenges in cultural tourism and preservation. This study explores how online customer feedback reveals visitor perceptions of Lasem’s architectural and cultural elements, particularly in relation to Batik and Peranakan architecture. Using data from 13 Google Maps-reviewed businesses, the study employs quantitative and qualitative methods, analyzing star ratings, review lengths, keyword frequency, and thematic patterns. Findings show that visitor satisfaction is closely tied to cultural authenticity. Positive reviews often emphasize appreciation for heritage experiences and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, while lower ratings highlight infrastructure issues such as water and room quality. The results underscore the role of vernacular spaces in shaping meaningful tourist experiences and highlight the need to balance heritage preservation with the expectations of modern visitors. This research offers insights for improving heritage site management and supporting sustainable cultural tourism in small historic towns.

Abstract

This study examines the spatial efficiency and sustainable site development of the Poltekkes Riau Tower, a vertical educational facility, using the Greenship New Building Version 1.2 framework established by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI). It focuses on the Appropriate Site Development (ASD) category and assesses green area ratio, site selection, accessibility, transportation, landscape quality, microclimate control, and stormwater management. The building scored 5 out of 17 points (29.4%), indicating shortcomings in bicycle access, landscaping, and runoff mitigation. The evaluation process involves four key steps: (1) Scoring Analysis, which quantifies compliance with the Greenship criteria; (2) Spatial Mapping of green cover, access, and hydrology based on site plans and field data; (3) Gap Identification, which compares actual conditions with benchmarks; and (4) Recommendation Formulation to enhance sustainability through passive design, landscape optimization, and integrated stormwater systems. The findings provide insights for improving site sustainability in future vertical educational buildings located in tropical urban settings.

Abstract

The Philippines, a predominantly Catholic country, holds religious monumental architecture (RMA) as a vital part of its cultural and spiritual heritage. This notwithstanding, little academic focus has been given to the meanings conveyed through such structures. This study examines the Porta Mariae in Naga City using Greimassian semiotics, a framework built upon structuralist semiotics for decoding architectural communication. This neoclassical arch, built a little over a decade ago to commemorate 300 years of Bikolano devotion to Our Lady of Peñafrancia and inspired by Roman triumphal arches and Catholic holy doors, has become a prominent city landmark and integral to Catholic rituals in Naga. This paper interprets the structure as a symbolic communication system, uncovering layers of meaning conveyed to pilgrims, devotees, and visitors that extend beyond its visual and architectural appeal. The investigation ultimately reveals the Porta Mariae as a dynamically communicative artifact embodying profound religious, cultural, and historical meanings, serving as a living symbol of Bicolano faith, heritage, and enduring identity.

Abstract

Mosques in Indonesia play a significant role as public facilities closely intertwined with society and architecture. They are part of Indonesia's long history, continuously evolving with the changing times. This article attempts to examine the changes in mosque development over the years and seeks to understand the evolving forms. The Inquiry in this article begins with the Kingdom era, continues through the colonial period, and the era of independence, and leads to the emergence of the YAMP mosque phenomenon, using literature review and comparative analysis of secondary data as comprehensive writing content. The influence of modernization on mosque architecture in Indonesia has resulted in a variety of archetypes, each carrying different meanings. The archetype of multi-tiered roofs (tajug) and domes resurfaced after its initial appearance, with similar symbolism but employing different materials and technologies. The architecture of mosques during the post-emergence period those archetypes, tend nostalgic and can be closely associated with industrial and universal forms.

Abstract

Acoustic comfort is one of four types of comforts in a room. Acoustic comfort allows users of worship spaces to be more focused and solemn in worshipping. One indicator that indicates the optimality of acoustic comfort is the level of clarity of sound articulation. The level of sound articulation in the worship space of the Palihan Javanese Christian Church is considered unclear, so it can be concluded if there is excessive reverberation time in the worship room. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the ideal reverberation time in the worship room of the Palihan Javanese Christian Church. The research was conducted using quantitative research methods. The improvement of reverberation time in this research is done by identifying the materials that are used in the worship room of the Palihan Javanese Christian Church at a frequency of 500Hz and 1000Hz using Sabine's reverberation time theory. From this research, it can be concluded that the replacement of some reflector materials with diffuser and absorber materials can reduce the excess reverberation time in the worship room of the Palihan Javanese Christian Church. Keywords: acoustic materials; improvement; reverberation time

Abstract

This article aims to improve the quality of eating and working activities provided by restaurants/cafes in their indoor facilities by using one of the furniture objects in the Warunk Upnormal case study as study material. It starts by analysing consumer activities and their relationship to the facilities provided by the service provider. Warunk Upnormal in its marketing campaign informs about activities that can be accommodated by its consumers, including eating, gathering, working, etc. In a survey conducted on a sample of these consumers, it is stated that the dominant activities are eating, drinking, and working. With this background, data collection related to profiles, activities, and activity support facilities was carried out through direct observation and online surveys using convenience sampling techniques. The literature on dining table facilities as a medium that accommodates activities is also studied. Ergonomic data on dining and worktable artifacts, and supporting tools for eating, drinking, and working activities were collected. These data were analysed through the revitalization method of traditional design, called ATUMICS, where this method is a method used to design new artifacts with an innovation orientation that refers to certain intentions or goals. Dining table innovation supports eating and drinking activities, and this work aims to accommodate these activities so that they can be carried out comfortably and productively. Adjustment of ATUMICS elements is applied to the design, which includes elements of technique, utility, materials, concept, and shape. In conclusion, it is found that by using the ATUMICS method the dining table object in the restaurant/cafe can be adapted to the service facilities provided by the restaurant/cafe so that consumers can carry out their activities optimally.

Abstract

Bumi Panua Hospital is the only hospital in Marisa District, Pohuwato Regency. In each building, there is a lot of activity going on between patients, nurses, doctors, and visitors who arrive. In addition, the vehicle parking location which is right in front of the hospital inpatient room can cause noise which can reduce patient comfort. The noise level of the hospital must be in accordance with its function and meet health requirements, especially in inpatient rooms. The aim of this research is to carry out measurements to optimize noise levels in patient inpatient rooms at Bumi Panua Pohuwato Hospital. The method used in this research is a descriptive analysis method with a quantitative approach and acoustic simulation using the I-SIMPA application. From the results of Background Noise and Reverberation Time research on class III and II inpatient rooms at Bumi Panua District Hospital. Pohuwato. The condition of background noise in class III and II inpatient rooms is not good because the (dB) produced by background noise in the room is quite high, above 66 dB and exceeds the recommended standard regarding (dB) background noise in patient rooms. It should be below 40 - 45 dB. Based on the simulation results, the reverberation time in class III and class II inpatient rooms produces reverberation time that exceeds the recommended standard due to not using acoustic materials and the shape and volume of the room which causes sound reflection to occur for longer. Optimization is carried out to reduce the reverberation time so that the sound intensity in the room is not too long and can reduce background noise in the patient room. Keywords: Background Noise; Hospital; Reverberation Time (RT30)
