Abstract

This research was initiated by an interest in vernacular architecture, which adapts to fit the changing demands of its inhabitants. Cultural variations and differing population demands can cause spatial planning patterns to vary even within a province or between nearby places. Tectonic formations are produced by the growth of vernacular houses. In addition to understanding the distinctive tectonic structures through the connections of elements in the expanded spaces, this study attempts to identify and classify the spatial arrangement patterns in the vernacular houses of Tanean Lanjhang and Osing. Tanean Lanjhang and Osing buildings are examples of vernacular architecture known as "grow houses," which have horizontal expansion as their principal growth criterion. The two kinds of houses, however, expand in different directions. This research uses qualitative techniques, such as literature reviews on Osing houses and on-site observations of Tanean Lanjhang houses. The results show that the Tanean Lanjhang houses show three orientations of spatial arrangement patterns: expansion in the middle, forward, and backward areas. Osing houses, on the other hand, extend from front to back. Both types of houses have connections built with or without gutters, despite the variations in the connections between each of the elements within them.

Abstract

The use of large glass facades in buildings without external shading devices leads to a high daylight level, uneven daylight distribution, and glare. A perforated screen facade (PSF) is one of the shading systems that can provide daylight and view and prevent direct solar radiation into a building. More research is needed about the daylight performance of PSF in integration with daylighting systems in the tropics. A combination of PSF and light shelf (LS), a daylighting system that can redirect daylight to the ceiling and enhance daylight distribution, is proposed to improve daylight levels and reduce glare. The research aims to evaluate the daylight performance of PSF and LS in the tropics. The research method is experimental with simulation utilizing IES-VE Radiance IES. Average Daylight Factor (DFavg), Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI), and Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) of a room with a side window were compared with a room with PSF and LS. The results showed that implementing PSF and LS improved daylight performance by lowering the DFavg by 55%, increasing the UDI, and reducing the DGP.

Abstract

Like other disciplines, urban design is grounded in substantial theoretical foundations, despite differences among experts. Although urban design has undergone significant transformations over time, the evolving needs of urban spaces have played a critical role in shaping its adaptation. Notably, the theoretical and real objects of urban design—civil society and the public realm—are regarded as superior to those of related fields such as architecture and civil engineering. The development of a robust theoretical foundation for urban design through the lens of spatial political economy, as conceptualized by Alexander Cuthbert, has proven to be highly valuable. Cuthbert identified the integrative knowledge of urban design as the outcome of a coherent foundation that unites both theory and practice. This research adopts a theoretical and fundamental approach, utilizing a descriptive-analytical method and employing content analysis. By examining the evolution of Cuthbert's perspectives, the study seeks to analyze urban design through the framework of spatial political economy. The findings indicate that the dialectical relationship between urban design and Spatial Political Economy (SPE) establishes urban design as a distinct and structured discipline. This mutual dialectic is reflected in the process of place-making, where the production and reproduction of space align with the principles of SPE, and urban design serves as the mechanism for shaping urban spaces. It is clear that urban design stands as its own discipline, without requiring idealizations borrowed from other fields. Spatial Political Economy provides the most comprehensive framework for understanding urban design. Cuthbert’s perspective ultimately fosters a convergence of overlapping ideas, enabling the development of a strong theoretical foundation for urban design that promotes the enhancement of the public realm in cities.

Abstract

Houses in warm and humid tropical regions, like Indonesia, often experience uncomfortable conditions due to high temperatures aggravated by high humidity. With its adsorptive characteristics, natural coconut fiber can be utilized as wall panels and assigned to regulate house humidity levels. Research focusing on investigating the adsorptive capability of the natural coconut fiber in controlling humidity is widely available, but that specifically examines the effect of the surface area of the material on air humidity conditions in humid tropical extant houses is still limited. A field experiment was conducted in a small Surabaya house. The study analyzes the impact of coconut fiber (CF) wall panels on humidity conditions in each house room and the optimal surface area of the wall panels. CF wall panels were found to reduce the indoor relative humidity (RH) significantly. The optimal surface area varied depending on room characteristics. The optimal surface area of the wall panels for the living room is six (6) m² with a 28% RH reduction, for the bedroom is six (6) m² with a 27% reduction, and for the kitchen is five (5) m² with a 27% reduction.

Abstract

Green homes concept implementation is one of strategies to increase energy and water efficiency in residential buildings. Currently, the concept of green homes has been adopted by the public and promoted by the government because of its benefits. Utilization of green home features is known to benefit the environment and occupants. However, as the number of green home users increases, the adoption acceleration of green home features has barriers. Homeowners' perceptions of green home features determine homeowners' attitudes toward utilizing these features. This research aims to identify the hindering factors of green home feature adoption by exploring homeowners’ perceptions. The green home features such as smart lighting and sensor, energy-efficient labeled appliance, photovoltaic panel, water meters, dual-flush toilet, and rainwater harvesting are reviewed. Data was gathered using an online open questionnaire and analyzed using grounded theory method. Result shows green homes features’ adoption barriers consist of technical aspects, product availability, economics, knowledge, regulation, and motivation.

Abstract

This research aims to utilize disposable mask waste and coconut fiber as an acoustic composite material and identify its sound absorption characteristics. The method used in this research is an experiment to produce four samples with different non-woven polypropylene and coconut fiber composition. The samples went through multiple tests to identify its morphology, mass change in different temperatures, density, and sound absorption coefficient. The result of this research shows that these materials display sound absorption characteristics and can be applied for acoustic purposes. Acoustic material with 100% non-woven polypropylene displays the best sound absorber characteristics, especially for 500Hz frequency sound. However, acoustic material with composition of 90% non-woven polypropylene and 10% coconut fiber shows a better sound absorption coefficient in 2000Hz frequency.

Abstract

The increasing rate of urbanization leads to more unmanaged waste, currently at 33.08% of 18 million tons per year.  This research uses recycled cans as architectural elements to address the acoustic comfort issues in coworking spaces. Some of these studies have also recommended the addition of sound masking elements such as natural sounds, music, and others to enhance workers' productivity. Furthermore, earlier research has experimented with processing waste plastic materials into acoustic elements based on sound absorption theory. The aim of this research is to conduct experiments by using recycled waste cans as an architectural element that can function as sound masking, providing an acoustically comfortable sound range that supports users' well-being. Results show that recycled partitions placed between workers produced a sound intensity level of 57.6 dBA, which is still 7.6 dBA above the comfort threshold.

Abstract

The department of architecture at Petra Christian University has offered CAAD and Multimedia for almost ten years, with particular emphasis on the architectural design studios and the final design studio process. As the beginner of CAD users, students with different of CAD skills-right after taking the fundamental of architectural CAD and Multimedia-tend to explore and use CAD in many different ways, such as very few students are using CAD as a design tool, and the others as a production tool mainly. Multimedia has long been firmly conceived, as a great interactive-presentation tool, as an automation within the digital domain of conventional hand-worked animation techniques of presentations. For being the students of 7th and 8th (final) architectural design studios, the crucial issues of creative exploration within a design, simulation, and visualization techniques are of greater importance than those of media-blue prints production information only.
