Abstract

The Braga District in Bandung is one of the city’s unique areas, rich in historical significance due to its row of colonial buildings. However, the district currently faces significant challenges due to the tide of modernization and the demands of urban functionality. The principle of adaptive reuse is one of the alternative solutions often employed as a strategy for addressing the context of historic building restoration and renovation. This approach repurposes buildings that are to be preserved due to their historical value, transforming them into new functions without compromising their inherent value. Tanatap Coffee Braga is a commercial establishment that has attempted to implement adaptive reuse by integrating modern commercial functions with efforts to preserve cultural heritage. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the application of adaptive reuse principles to the subject of study in support of the preservation of historic architecture. This is a qualitative study involving data collection through direct field observations and a review of relevant literature, followed by descriptive data analysis. The results of the study indicate that Tanatap Coffee Braga has made efforts to preserve the original architectural elements and visual character that serve as the main attraction of the area, while also integrating them with new, adaptive functions. The implementation of this approach is categorized as “low-intervention adaptive reuse” because it involves no major changes to the main facade, but rather interventions in the floor structure (voids), reflecting a compromise between commercial function and conservation principles. This integration model is considered relevant for adoption in other cultural heritage areas in Indonesia to support sustainable urban development.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant transformations to the field of architecture, ranging from the digitalization of design processes to the application of machine learning and deep learning technologies in various aspects of design, construction, and building management. These technological advancements have not only changed the way architects work but have also created new opportunities for developing more efficient, adaptive, and sustainable built environments. This study aims to examine the evolution of AI in architecture, evaluate its implementation in contemporary architectural practice, and identify the challenges and future prospects of its development. The research employs a literature review using a descriptive qualitative approach through the analysis and synthesis of various academic sources, scientific publications, and relevant case studies. The findings indicate that AI has evolved from Computer-Aided Design (CAD)-based drafting support into intelligent systems capable of facilitating design optimization, decision-making, smart building management, and the conservation of historic buildings. Various case studies demonstrate that AI contributes to improving design efficiency, structural optimization, building energy management, as well as the documentation and reconstruction of architectural heritage. Although AI offers considerable opportunities for realizing more innovative and sustainable architecture, its implementation still faces several challenges related to data quality, ethical concerns, the interpretation of creativity, and the readiness of the industry to adopt such technologies. The findings suggest that AI has substantial potential to become a strategic partner for architects in supporting the design process and the management of built environments that are more innovative, responsive, and oriented toward future needs.

Abstract

Dyslexia as a neurobiological learning disorder poses significant challenges to children’s literacy development, particularly in phonological processing, memory, and symbol recognition. These challenges require learning approaches that are cognitively adaptive, meaning strategies that align instructional methods with children’s sensory processing and information processing mechanisms, as well as support from physically responsive learning environments. One widely discussed approach is multisensory learning, which integrates visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic stimuli in the learning process. Although multisensory approaches have been extensively explored in pedagogical contexts, their translation into architectural design for learning spaces remains insufficiently synthesized. This gap highlights the need to systematically connect learning activities with spatial design implications. Therefore, this study aims to identify the relationships between dyslexic characteristics, multisensory learning activities, and their implications for physical learning space requirements. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature-based study, employing thematic analysis to map relationships between types of sensory stimuli, forms of learning activities, and corresponding spatial needs. The findings indicate that multisensory approaches have strong potential to support literacy processes by activating multiple sensory pathways. The resulting synthesis produces a typology of spatial functions, including tactile zones (e.g., sand/textured areas), interactive creative rooms, auditory spaces, and movement-based outdoor environments. Rather than empirically testing effectiveness, this study proposes a conceptual framework that links multisensory activities with spatial design strategies, contributing to the development of more inclusive and responsive learning environments for children with dyslexia

Abstract

Indonesia, particularly the province of Aceh, boasts an exceptionally high diversity of fauna. This region serves as a habitat for various endemic species, some of which are extinct or endangered. Ideally, this should be brought to the public’s attention by introducing or even studying this rich fauna. However, this effort has not yet been supported by adequate infrastructure. The limited facilities for wildlife education and research raise the research question: “How can we create a space that facilitates education, research, and recreation simultaneously?” In response to this issue, this study presents a design concept for a zoological museum that incorporates the transformation of natural values into architecture. The museum aims to raise public awareness and foster a sense of responsibility regarding the urgency of wildlife and ecosystem conservation. The research method employs an architectural design-based approach using the Intangible Metaphor framework, in which abstract values from nature—such as the philosophy of balance, harmony, the life cycle, and the principle of sustainability—are translated into physical architectural elements. The design results demonstrate that these themes are realized through a building mass composition arranged in a gradual progression from low to high scales, serving as a visual representation of the fauna’s life cycle. In addition, natural materials are used to strengthen the interaction and emotional connection between humans and nature, and the spatial design is both dynamic and exploratory, aiming to create a profound educational experience for visitors. Through this approach, the museum is expected to serve as a leading center for zoological education while also symbolizing the harmonious and sustainable relationship between humans and nature.

Abstract

Bus terminals are essential land transportation hubs that support community mobility and serve as public facilities that often act as the first point of arrival. Beyond accommodating transport activities, terminals reflect an area's identity. The Type B Bus Terminal in Binjai City is strategically located adjacent to the Binjai Railway Station, a historic building and vital transportation node. However, the existing terminal's condition is suboptimal regarding functionality, user comfort, and spatial quality. Crucially, it lacks a visual character that harmonizes with the station, the area's dominant architectural element. This study aims to apply a contextual architectural approach to redesign the terminal, producing a building capable of responding to its environment through visual harmony. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected via field observations, documentation, literature reviews, and site analysis. The findings indicate that the railway station possesses a distinct architectural character: symmetrical massing, rhythmic arch elements along corridors, louvered façades, and neutral colors. Based on these findings, Brent C. Brolin’s harmony strategy was selected. This approach was implemented by adapting the terminal’s mass composition to the station's pattern, incorporating arched elements in pedestrian corridors, utilizing louvered secondary skins, and adapting the color scheme without literal imitation. The resulting design demonstrates that the contextual architecture approach successfully creates a terminal visually aligned with the railway station. It strengthens the area's identity and maintains its core function as an integrated public transportation facility.
