Abstract

This paper discusses the dynamic value of objects that influence the spatial organization of a home-based workspaces. Spatial organization of workspace at home becomes significant with the emerging work-from-home arrangement during and post COVID-19 pandemic. The physical and psychological needs of working from home require adaptations on the domestic setting through the use and placement of objects in relation to how humans produce and experience space. This paper examines the value mechanism of remote workers with regards to their everyday objects and how such mechanism affects the overall workspace organization them. The study explores the workspace of 3 remote workers with different activities and preferences. The study shows that the dynamic value of objects shapes the workplace arrangements, enabling better accessibility, supporting the need for comfortable and pleasant qualities of space, as well as demonstrating self-identity. The study expands discussions on the spatial adaptation driven by dynamic system of objects.

Abstract

The connection in bamboo construction is frequently the weakest point. This research discusses the performance of the gapit form on bamboo truss that effectively optimises the bamboo's inherent strength and can sustain vertical loads. Gapit is a connection form where a member is located between two members which also serves as a construction reinforcement. This truss optimizes the strength of whole bamboo with a total span of 4 meters and height of 2 meters. The gapit form applied at the top chord member, bracing member, and "V" support and column connections which are strengthen with bolts on the bamboo node. This research uses a quantitative method where data collection is taken through an experiment. To test the strength of the truss, a vertical hydraulic compression test was conducted. It was found that the truss can withstand a maximum load of up to 8.72 kN, with a truss decline of 7.27 cm, and a shift of 2 cm. As a result, the use of the gapit form on the truss is considered effective in withstanding large vertical loads.

Abstract

Fractals have been theoretically used to explain visual beauty from the urban scale to the context of architectural facades. How we perceive the visual beauty of architecture is likely dependent on subjectivity. However, the fractal is applicable for defining visual beauty and as a quantifiable method that provides objectivity for analysis. Previous research has used fractals, particularly in faca­des, to determine the beauty in complex geometry and quantify the complexity. However, the application of fractals in traditional architecture remains to be explored. Therefore, this article will discuss in detail how fractal is a suitable method to study the visual beauty of traditional architectural facades using fractal geometry and fractal dimension index. The case used to illustrate the imple­mentation is Kori Agung of Balinese traditional architecture, known for its grandeur and luxurious facade images. It embodies the visual beauty of its facade due to its textured, layered, and complex visual appearance.

Abstract

Most buildings have spaces far from the windows that require artificial lighting for illumination throughout the day. In fact, artificial lighting contributes to the second highest electrical energy consumption, especially in educational institutions that require more lighting. One of the appropriate solutions to illuminate areas far from windows is using a fiber optic daylighting system. FOD is used to distribute sunlight into the spaces away from the window. This research tested the lighting levels produced by alternative collector and diffuser models of FOD systems to meet the lighting level standards (lux) in discussion room P. 06. 05. Petra Christian University. This research uses experimental methods under actual weather exposure and simulation with DIALux software. Simulation results show that the room requires 6 collectors and 2 diffusers, arranged centrally and symmetrically. It produces 365 lux and a uniformity ratio of 0.59, which meets the standard. The lighting level data used was at 10:30 AM during partially cloudy conditions.

Abstract

Excessive solar radiation negatively affects classroom occupants' perfor­mance and thermal comfort, especially in buildings with West and East-facing glazed openings. This study utilises fixed external shading devices and triple-glazed low-emissivity windows to optimise a classroom building in Nigeria. Employing hybrid ventilation mode in EnergyPlus simulations, the optimised model shows a 44% reduction in discomfort hours, a 23% decrease in cooling load, and a 16% drop in energy demand compared to the original design. Comparative analysis of the optimised model with the as-built and West-East oriented classroom reveals a 16% and 10% reduction in energy consumption per conditioned area, along with 56 KWh/m² and 32 KWh/m² savings in cooling demand, respectively. Despite the effectiveness of fixed shading in curbing solar gains, occasional glare persists. This research underscores that shading alone may not fully meet thermal comfort requirements, emphasising the importance of building fabrics, building orientation and climate-sensitive design.

Abstract

Yogyakarta is a city that has a diverse history and cultural heritage both physically and non-physically. Physically in the form of buildings - historical heritage buildings such as the Vredeburg Fort building which is one of the relics of VOC colonialism in the city of Yogyakarta since 1765. Now its existence has changed its function to become a historical heritage fort and its presence as a historical heritage building now greatly affects the sense of concern in the current era, especially the younger generation of the current era. As a result, the awareness of knowing and appreciating historical buildings is low due to the advancement of civilisation. The purpose of this research is to explore the perceptions of young people that lead to appreciation of Fort Vredeburg in the current era. The research method applied by conducting observations, data collection and questionnaire interviews. The result of this research is to reveal the form of appreciation from young people's perception towards Fort Vredeburg today.

Abstract

Vernacular architecture embodies passive design principles and strategies to create comfortable dwellings. This study investigates the impact of passive design strategies on temperature comfort in Samin vernacular houses. Visual observation is employed to assess the suitability of house elements based on passive design criteria. At the same time, field measurements are conducted to evaluate comfortable temperature conditions using data loggers over one month. The research focuses on the Original Samin house and the New Samin house situated in Klopoduwur Village, Blora Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The visual observation reveals that the roof volume, slope, and thin walls with low conductivity in both Samin houses align with passive design principles. The New Samin house also incorporates other passive design strategies, including an east-west building orientation with the long side perpendicular to the wind direction, an open-plan room layout, and varying floor heights. The temperature comfort performance in both houses falls within the neutral temperature range during 16 hours. The New Samin house exhibits the largest daytime air temperature decrease at 5.5°C, while the Original Samin house experiences the largest nighttime decrease at 0.7°C. The evolution of passive designs in Samin vernacular houses encompasses considerations such as building proportion and width, terrace width, positioning and size of window openings, vegetation, and shading elements.

Abstract

Buildings use 40% of global primary energy, therefore their design and use affect climate change. Building performance analysis can assist architects predict performance before construction with parametric design tools. Radiance can be reduced via a parametric mass, lowering cooling load and energy use. The study uses theoretical and computational research to explain, forecast, and analyze events, whereas parametric design optimizes complicated geometries using mathematical parameters and algorithms. Environmental analysis in Grasshopper with the Ladybug plugin uses Rhinoceros. This plugin provides solar radiation, and climate analysis capabilities. To determine the most energy-efficient building design, the research links independent and dependent variables such solar radiation intensity and building mass. The study uses Surabaya weather data and high rise buildings. The land is formed like a square, with a 15-degree slope to the north and is flanked by low-rise buildings. As a result, the location receives the most direct sunlight during the day. Then, solar radiation analysis. It helps optimize passive solar design solutions. According to the modelling results, solar radiation on the top and west sides are particularly large and dominant in 65.37 and 32.69 kWh/m2. Meanwhile, the north, east and south sides receive very little solar radiation. The following simulation considers the optimal direction, which is to extend west-east and face to the south. A multi-towered megastructure is a high-rise building that responds best to solar radiation. The total solar radiation value is 3,718,100 kWh. It can accommodate large spaces with large mass composition but relatively low total solar radiation values. The building towers provide shade to each other, thereby reducing direct radiation from the sun to the building. The sides of the building's podium are also shaded, so the top of the building is partially red.

Abstract

Each generation encounters distinct social, economic, cultural, and techno­logical contexts specific to their era. Moreover, their lifestyles vary, resulting in disparate housing preferences. This study analyzes five housing attribute preferences of Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z: Economic attribute, location and accessibility attribute, physical attribute, environment attribute, and social attribute. The research uses a stated preference approach. The study uses a mixed method and a stated preference approach while collecting data by online questionnaire. Three analytical techniques are employed in this research: correspondence analysis to identify differences in dwelling type preferences among generations, PCA and FA to identify the underlying housing attribute influencing housing preferences, and ANOVA to analyze housing attribute dimensions with significant differences among generations. The analysis result reveals that each generation tends to prefer Landed Housing. The housing attribute dimensions that are the main priority among generations are Utilities, Infrastructure, and Environmental Quality. Meanwhile, significant differences in housing preferences between Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z are found in the space comfort and social interaction dimensions.
