Abstract

Traditional houses are important to maintain and explore because the values of wisdom are embedded in them. Sinom House is an architectural manifestation of Javanese people's homes with the characteristic of a pyramid roof shape; in general, Sinom houses can be found in Java. In this study, the object of the Sinom house studied was in Bendosari Village, Kademangan, Blitar, which has the character of a rural area with a rocky mountainous landscape that tends to have hot weather, as well as the characteristics of a community working in agriculture, from these factors resulting in a simpler Sinom house shape in terms of area and spatial configuration. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the existence of the spatial configuration of the Sinom house in the location of Bendosari Village, Kademangan District, where the factors to be identified come from comparative literature sources, namely aspects of floor plan typology, spatial composition, roof shape and structure, and a general description of the research location. As a traditional vernacular residence of the Javanese people, these characteristics can be reviewed from the aspect of the spatial configuration that forms a single unit of the Sinom house. In the aspect of spatial configuration, the variables studied are floor plan typology, spatial composition, and roof structure. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative in both stages of data collection and analysis. Data collection is done by direct observation, architectural documentation, and interviews as supporting data. The results of this study are expected to deepen the knowledge of Javanese residential architecture in rural areas and can be useful for enriching architectural knowledge and further research.

Abstract

This paper investigates the adaptation of sustainable architectural designs for sloping sites by building in the natural context. While sloping sites can create certain design restrictions, they can also be a source of design innovation that takes advantage of the existing topography. The present research aims to determine design approaches, which build both visual and functional equilibrium to the buildings, while efficiently providing comfort and ecological nature of the buildings. The use of qualitative analysis of four case studies, Ncaved House in Greece, UCCA Dune Art Museum in China, La Escondida Apartments in Mexico, and Private House in Thusis in Switzerland reveals that the successful integration of buildings into the landscape is aided by the usage of local materials, use of daylight and cross-ventilation and shelter from extreme weather conditions among other factors. Each case study looks at how the design resolved the challenge of a sloped site and perspectives of ecology and aesthetics. These insights are important for designers as they address the issue of how to maximize the design’s ecological sensitivity and beauty, without shunning sloped sites but instead using them as positives in the overall architectural design scheme.

Abstract

Fisherman Village is one of the Jakarta informalities that has been growing with the city since its former role as a port city. This phenomenon not only contributes to the city’s economic value but also to its overall dynamic sectors. Its existence confirms the important role of its built environment; the research objective is to reveal the kampung pattern for preserving and developing this kampung. Unlike other urban grains, this kampung consists of naval and maritime qualities, despite general critique towards environmental and spatial conditions. The morphology is utilized to detect its architectural form; thus, its algorithm can be extracted through QGIS, steps are: 1) mapping, 2) massing, and 3) algorithm. QGIS converts mapping into a massing series, unraveling the geometry of the kampung house silhouette as an algorithm pattern. The outcome is Kampung’s algorithm pattern. The discovery involves nautical and maritime influences, while the originality is the Kampung Cilincing order formula. This research promotes a specific housing unit and type as a local potency to stimulate the development of Kampung’s module guideline. The dominant type can be used for typical replication while questioning the recessive type to stimulate innovation as a guide.

Abstract

Every human being shares the same fundamental needs, ranging from physiological to physical needs. After engaging in daily activities, individuals seek to relax and relieve stress through enjoyable experiences in comfortable environments. Commonly, these relaxing spaces are referred to as third places. One form of third place, as introduced by Oldenburg, is the coffee shop. As a third place, it is more than just a physical space—it holds deeper meaning. Today, coffee shops are frequently identified as third places; however, the criteria for a third place extend beyond mere spatial aspects. This study aims to explore whether coffee shops frequented by users can be considered third places from their perspective, and to identify the factors that influence this perception. The research adopts a qualitative approach by conducting interviews with participants. Data were analyzed using a descriptive narrative technique, presenting findings from observations and interviews. The results indicate that most users of a disability-friendly coffee shop consider it their third place for several reasons: the shop is inclusive and accessible to everyone; it features a unique and aesthetic design; it is strategically located, easily accessible, and near transportation hubs; it offers a calm, home-like atmosphere; it serves as a space for conversation; it provides comprehensive facilities; and it includes disability-friendly signage. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for the design and development of third places that accommodate the needs of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.

Abstract

External threats such as animals, climate change, and weather conditions are commonly known factors that determine the house's primary function, which is to provide shelter and protection. The structural characteristics of the architecture of the traditional Malay House are unique in their distinctive construction techniques, design elements, functions, and decorative features. These houses, passed down through generations, have historically served as essential spaces for communal living. Thermal comfort in buildings refers to physical and physiological satisfaction, often assessed using empirical equations. This study evaluates the thermal comfort levels of traditional Malay houses in Sambas City. A descriptive quantitative approach is employed, utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations conducted through Autodesk Inventor software to analyze indoor airflow patterns. Additionally, on-site measurements investigation is employed using an anemometer to assess wind speed, a hygrometer to determine humidity levels, and a thermometer to measure air temperature. The findings indicate that none of the case study houses meet the thermal comfort standards established by KEMENKES (Indonesian Ministry of Health) and SNI (Indonesian National Standard). As a result, residents often experience discomfort and resort to artificial ventilation at specific times to improve indoor conditions.

Abstract

Architecture continuously evolves alongside humanity, with postmodernism representing a critical phase that introduces complex challenges. Central to this discussion is the notion of schizophrenic culture—a concept borrowed from Fredric Jameson, which describes a cultural condition marked by fragmentation, depthlessness, and the collapse of coherent meaning, often found in postmodern societies. This research aims to critique postmodernism in the context of increasing commercialization and its impact on architectural practice. By employing a qualitative-reflective methodology, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using NVivo software, complemented by formal logic. The study highlights significant projects, such as The Line in Saudi Arabia, which illustrate the tension between commercial growth and the preservation of cultural identity. Findings reveal that while commercialization can drive innovation, it also poses a risk of homogenizing architectural designs, undermining the diverse cultural expressions that postmodernism seeks to champion. Ultimately, this research advocates for a re-evaluation of how economic objectives can coexist with the foundational principles of postmodernism, providing critical insights and recommendations for future studies to navigate the challenges posed by commercialization within the architectural field.

Abstract

The establishment of a comfortable and safe work environment is fundamental to facilitate worker productivity and well-being. The workshop room, as one of the prime facilities in the workings of discovery and practice, must have light conditions, thermal comfort, and noise levels in accordance with occupational health and safety standards. The purpose of the study is to assess the light conditions, thermal comfort, and noise levels in the workshop room and provide strategic recommendations to improve the quality of the working environment. The research methodology employed is quantitative, where direct measurements are made with respect to the lighting levels, temperature, humidity, airspeed, and noise levels in the workshop room. The data were obtained to compare it with the relevant standards to determine whether the work environment conditions comply with the required regulations. The outcomes of the study reveal that lighting conditions in the workshop room do not meet the recommended levels entirely, especially in some work areas where light intensity is below the suggested threshold. The other major concern is thermal comfort because the room users would not be comfortable under very high temperature and humidity conditions. Noise levels, however, were found to be below standard. However, these noise levels which are almost hitting the upper limit could affect work comfort and health. Hence, with respect to these findings, the study recommends the redesigning of the lighting layout, improving the ventilation system, and applying noise abatement methods to raise the quality of the workshop room working environment.

Abstract

This article analyses the impact of the Majapahit architectural style on the Sultanate of Aceh, drawing inspiration from the 'Majapahit Style' as defined within Balinese architecture. Studies of Aceh Sultanate Architecture reveal features resembling the Majapahit Style, suggesting a cultural and historical connection. This study examines the historical context and compares architectural and urban typologies in Majapahit and Aceh through a literature review and analysis of artefacts. It identifies two key typologies demonstrating Majapahit influence: Religious Structures and Royal Urban Landscapes. This analysis critiques the conventional narratives that categorise architectural history into discrete religious periods (Hindu, Buddhist, or Islamic), highlighting the interconnections and varied histories in architecture and urban planning. The findings highlight the significance of acknowledging the cross-cultural influences that have shaped Aceh's built environment, challenging simplistic classifications based on religion or culture. This research illustrates the persistent impact of Majapahit architectural traditions on the Sultanate of Aceh particularly in the adoption of Meru-style mosques and urban planning approaches. The study emphasises the relationship between culture and religion influencing architectural expression, promoting a more profound comprehension of Aceh's built environment.

Abstract

Moisture-related building defects in Penang’s heritage buildings persist despite refurbishment efforts, posing threats to structural integrity, aesthetics, and occupant comfort. This problem is exacerbated by tropical coastal conditions, stringent conservation guidelines mandating original materials (e.g., lime), and the inherent vulnerability of aged structures. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining field surveys (thermal imaging, humidity tests) and user questionnaires across three refurbished heritage buildings (hotel): 23 Love Lane (strict WHS compliance), Jawi Peranakan Mansion (moderate), and USM Guesthouse (weak compliance). Quantitative data were analyzed via SPSS (descriptive statistics, chi-square tests). Key results revealed: (1) Moisture-driven defects (dampness, fungi, peeling paint) recurred in all buildings, with severity highest under strict compliance (27 defects at 23 Love Lane); (2) Weak-compliance USM Guesthouse used cement, reducing moisture ingress but violating authenticity; (3) User surveys identified peeling paint discomfort as significant concerns (P<0.05). The implications underscore a critical dilemma: strict material preservation perpetuates moisture susceptibility, while modern substitutions compromise heritage values. Effective refurbishment guidelines must integrate moisture-mitigation strategies compatible with historical materials and tropical environments.
