Abstract

Over time, significant changes in social, economic, and cultural aspects have profoundly influenced the function and meaning of heritage buildings. These buildings often undergo functional transformations while maintaining their historical forms, presenting challenges in preserving their architectural authenticity and historical value. The concepts of digital placemaking and Soft City theory offer potential approaches to support the preservation of heritage buildings, emphasizing community engagement and the revitalization of historical values without compromising physical authenticity. This study employs literature reviews and precedent analyses to explore how digital technology and adaptive design can meet user needs while preserving the cultural and historical significance of buildings. As a case study, the Kebon Rojo Post Office in Surabaya is analyzed through interviews and data synthesis to demonstrate the application of Soft City principles, such as optimizing the balance between open and closed spaces and utilizing digital technology to create interactive experiences. The findings show that the combination of digital placemaking and Soft City principles can produce hybrid spaces that enrich emotional and sensory connections, promote flexibility, and enhance community inclusivity. This approach integrates physical and digital elements to revitalize heritage buildings, keeping them relevant in the modern urban context. The study also highlights digital interventions such as augmented reality, adaptive lighting, and interactive digital platforms as effective tools to strengthen the cultural and historical value of heritage sites. These technologies enable more dynamic and interactive user engagement, breathing new life into heritage buildings without compromising their architectural authenticity in the digital era.

Abstract

Heritage buildings serve as vital markers of cultural identity, historical continuity, and collective memory within the urban landscape. Yet in the context of accelerating urban development, many of these sites suffer from declining relevance, physical neglect, and weakening emotional connections with contemporary communities. This study explores the potential of digital placemaking as an innovative approach to revitalize the cultural significance and public engagement of heritage buildings. By integrating digital technologies with architectural space, digital placemaking reimagines these structures as interactive, inclusive, and emotionally resonant environments that bridge past and present. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study draws from literature reviews, site analysis, community narratives, and design conceptualization to formulate a framework that supports the transformation of underutilized heritage sites into dynamic public spaces. The research highlights the importance of memory, identity, and cultural resonance as central components of revitalization efforts, proposing a layered approach that merges physical preservation with meaningful digital engagement. The outcomes of this study offer both theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of architectural design and heritage conservation, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary, adaptive, and community-sensitive methods. This approach ensures that heritage buildings remain relevant, accessible, and culturally valuable in contemporary urban life.

Abstract

The spread of the COVID-19 virus since it first appeared in Wuhan (2019) to all regions of the world has had implications in various sectors and endangered people's lives. As a result, the entire world is under lockdown and travel is prohibited. Public transport as community commuting could increase the risk of virus transmission widely. Therefore, some new design ideas are approached to facilitate people mobility and to mitigate and hinder the spread of virus. This study aims to address the ongoing public health problem posed by the COVID-19 outbreak by designing a post-pandemic bus terminal in Mataram City, Indonesia, incorporating health protocols and physical distancing to prevent COVID cases. The study used architecture design methods by collecting some data onsite and offsite, analysing the data through site analysis and programming, and then proposing design concepts for the bus terminal. The results show a bus terminal building design that incorporates green elements, flexible furniture, signage to promote physical distancing and minimize the spread of COVID-19 and incorporates Sasak Architecture concepts, creating a distinctive, and visually appealing appearance. This study concludes that the design of a bus terminal building can play a crucial role in promoting physical distancing and minimizing the spread of COVID-19.
