Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in architecture has had a significant impact on the profession, sparking debate about its potential to fully automate architectural work. However, there is limited research on the influence of AI across all phases of the architectural design process. This article aims to analyze the extent of AI’s impact on architecture and to identify potential future benefits and challenges. The phases of architectural work discussed include pre-design, schematic design, design development, construction documentation, negotiation, and construction observation. Through a systematic literature review, this study highlights the transformative impact of AI across all stages of architectural design, emphasizing emerging concepts of design interaction and their implications for the profession. The findings suggest that while AI cannot fully replace architects, it indicates a shift in their role by enhancing collaboration and work flexibility. Nonetheless, the study emphasizes the importance of strengthening architects’ technological competence in using AI tools to ensure their continued relevance in the future.

Abstract

Post-COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of healthy housing continues to develop, one of which is related to the mental health of residents. The purpose of this study is to conduct a post-pandemic evaluation on Indonesian residents' housing satisfaction (HS), frequency of activities (FoA) during quarantine, and residents' future housing preferences (HP) that promote positive mental health. This study also tries to see the causal relationship between the variables influencing certain housing preferences. This quantitative study used an online questionnaire to collect and analyze data quantitatively using multivariate regression analysis. The results showed values for housing preferences were higher than housing satisfaction values. The causal relationships with the strongest influences are FoA daily on HP environmental comfort, HS physical space on HP physical space, and HS acoustic & visual comfort on HP semi-outdoor space. In general, HS acoustic & visual comfort and FoA daily were the most influencing on residents' preferences.

Abstract

Green building standards have become mandatory in Indonesia’s construction sector, driving environmental benefits while also adding complexity to the construction process. In response, the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in green buildings has increased; however, its applications and impact are not yet fully understood within the industry. This study aims to identify the benefits and challenges of BIM in GB projects and analyze their impact on stakeholder interest using a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative phase identified 20 benefits and 19 challenges, followed by a quantitative analysis yielding 3 benefit and four challenge factors. Regression results show that “Improvement of Project Sustainability Performance” and “Ease of Construction Visualization” significantly drive stakeholder interest. These findings reinforce the BIM Fields theory, highlighting that BIM's value extends beyond technology to include critical process and policy elements, aligning well with the GreenBIM Triangle for real-world application. However, further analysis is needed to strengthen the findings and optimize the integration of process and policy considerations to enhance BIM adoption.

Abstract

The phenomenon of global warming continues to intensify, with the construction sector emerging as a significant contributor due to its extensive use of non-biomass materials, which are major sources of carbon emissions. In response, engineered wood has gained attention as a sustainable alternative, offering the potential to reduce emissions and sequester carbon. This study aims to explore public perceptions of engineered wood, focusing on how these perceptions shape preferences and interest in its application for residential construction. The study does not evaluate technical characteristics directly, but rather community interpretations of them. A mixed-methods approach was employed, beginning with qualitative research through online questionnaires that featured open-ended questions designed to capture homeowners and prospective buyers preferences. The responses were then analyzed using content analysis to identify emerging themes. In the second phase, quantitative research was conducted by distributing closed-question questionnaires informed by the findings from the initial phase. The data was analyzed using factor analysis, distribution analysis, and multivariate regression techniques. The study identified three key dimensions influencing material preferences: sustainability, material durability, and material performance. Additionally, three significant dimensions related to construction characteristics were uncovered: design appreciation, construction methods, and material availability. These findings provide valuable insights for the integration of engineered wood into residential construction, offering a pathway to more sustainable building practices.

Abstract

Vernacular architecture in seismic-prone regions often reflects generations of  knowledge embedded in local building practices. This knowledge contributes significantly to the earthquake resilience of traditional structures through context-specific design strategies and materials. This study presents a systematic literature review to identify the critical factors that influence the seismic resistance of vernacular buildings. A summative content analysis method was employed, emphasizing the elements that affect the seismic performance of these structures. The review identifies six key factors contributing to the earthquake resistance of vernacular buildings, categorized into two primary domains: explicit knowledge, which includes building typology, structural systems, construction methods, and building materials, and implicit knowledge, encompassing community involvement and risk management. The findings underscore the significance of local architectural knowledge as a fundamental basis for developing more effective and sustainable construction strategies to enhance earthquake resilience in earthquake-prone areas.

Abstract

Each designer has his own approach in designing, different from the other. The difference is caused by the 'ideology' formed inside the designer's mind, which was influenced by the differences of personality, cultural background, training and thinking process. Essentially, this difference is also caused by the cognitive styles owned by each designer. On the other hand, there is also a range of different types of design problem, and it seems that there are certain building types that can be handle more easily by a certain design approach. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Tiap perancang memiliki pendekatannya sendiri-sendiri yang berbeda antara yang satu dengan yang lain. Perbedaan ini disebabkan oleh 'ideologi' yang terbentuk dalam diri si perancang yang dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan kepribadian, latar belakang budaya, perbedaan pelatihan dan perbedaan proses berpikir. Perbedaan ini pada hakekatnya juga disebabkan oleh gaya koknitif yang dimiliki oleh seseorang. Di lain pihak, jenis masalah perancangan juga berbeda-beda, yang nampaknya ada jenis-jenis bangunan yang lebih cocok dipecahkan dengan suatu jenis pendekatan atau proses perancangan tertentu. Kata kunci: ideologi, jenis pendekatan, jenis masalah.

Abstract

In each culture,the understanding of space actually conveys various meanings.This philosophy of life leads to a dichotomy classification of the east and west culture.Since each has a cultural sub system,the term East and West cannot represent the existent phenomena in a wide scope.Therefore,some studies on human perception are applied to show the relationship between "space and house" and "cultural diversity and differences". Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Pemahaman tentang ruang oleh setiap kebudayaan pada hakekatnya memberikan makna yang beraneka ragam.Pandangan yang digunakan seringkali diklasifikasikan secara dikotomis,antara kebudayaan Timur dan Barat.Padahal di masing-masing kebudayaan memiliki sub sistem kebudayaan yang maknanya juga berbeda.Terlihat istilah Timur dan Barat terlalu sempit untuk mewakili fenomena yang ada.Untuk menunjukkan tautan antara ruang dan rumah tinggal dengan keragaman dan perbedaan budaya yang ada maka digunakan beberapa studi tentang persepsi manusia terhadap ruang dan rumah tinggal dari masing-masing kebudayaan. Kata kunci: Ruang, rumah tinggal, timur dan barat.

Abstract

Vernacular architecture is derived from The Folk Architecture.The Folk Architecture is born by the ethnical community ,anchored by tradition. Vernacular architecture usually concerned with the cosmology,way of life and life style of the ethnical community, it would be an alternative answer of modernization. Modernization,the development of Technology and the social-economical interaction would like to get some modern needs .Vernacular Architecture is a translation of tradition and also it haves identities which can be increased by inovation and creativity in syncretism or eclectism.The syncretism or eclectism of Indonesian vernacular architecture would be a strand of post modernism in the form of Neo-Vernacular architecture. Vernacular architecture have been proposed as one of the vehicles toward the evolution of Indonesian architecture with National identity. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Arsitektur Vernakular tumbuh dari arsitektur rakyat,yang lahir dari masyarakat etnik dan berjangkar pada Tradisi etnik.Dengan demikian Arsitektur tersebut sejalan dengan paham kosmologi,pandangan hidup, gaya hidup dan memiliki tampilan khas sebagai cerminan jati diri yang dapat dikembangkan secara inovatif kreatif dalam pendekatan sinkretis ataupun eklektis. Modernisasi dan kemajuan teknologi serta interaksi sosial ekonomi menuntut kehadiran Arsitektur yang mampu berdialog dengan tuntutan baru.Sinkretisme .arsitektur vernakular Indonesia merupakan potensi yang memberi sumbangan pada "post modernisme" dalam tampilan arsitektur "Neo-Vernakular".Dengan demikian diharapkan Arsitektur Vernakular menjadi salah satu jembatan menuju evolusi arsitektur Indonesia modern yang tetap berjati diri dan berakar pada tradisi. Kata kunci : Arsitektur adalah sebuah produk Budaya Bangsa.

Abstract

Cakranegara in Lombok and Problinggo in north coast of east Java are two unique cities. Cakranegara was planned by Hindu-Bali cosmology. Probolinggo was planned by a rational thinking for economic and political thinking for Dutch Colonial government at that time. Althought one and other don't have directly relationship but casualy both of them used grid patern. Because of the difference background concept of urban design and the difference of social and geography condition, so pattern of the spatial town also very different. Cakranegara and Probolinggo are two example of urban planning that attractive to be comparised. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Cakranegara di Pulau Lombok dan Probolinggo di pantai Utara Jawa Timur, adalah dua kota yang sangat unik. Cakranegara di rencanakan berdasarkan kosmologi Hindu-Bali. Probolinggo di rencanakan berdasarkan pemikiran yang rasional untuk tujuan ekonomi dan politik bagi masyarakat kolonial Belanda waktu itu. Meskipun tidak ada hubungan satu sama lain secara langsung, tapi secara kebetulan kedua kota ini menggunakan grid sebagai pola sistim jalannya. Karena latar belakang konsep perancangan kota yang berbeda, keadaan sosial dan geografis yang berbeda pula, maka pola penataan spasial kotanya pun sangat berbeda. Cakranegara dan Probolinggo adalah dua contoh perencanaan kota yang sangat menarik untuk di bandingkan Kata Kunci : Cakranegara, Probolinggo, Pola Spasial, Sistim Jalan.

Abstract

Every town hss its own architectural performance. And architecture is not merely a physical landscape of buildings in a town,, as seen by the observer, but it has a deeper mening, which displays the art of structures and constructions. It is a sequence of buildings along the course of its history (Aldo Rossi, 1980). A Town is a complete work of art, performed by men of urban knowledge. Tehe concept of a town or urban workmanship arises from time to time as a work of art in multiple variations, together and according to spirit of the time, included its aspects of belief and religion. The urban work of art or urban artefact is always related to location, historical events and the spesific urban look. Generally a town has particular rythm and dynamics, at least it does not remain static. Therefore it is quite right, when we say, that a town represents the course of its history and technology during the period of its existence. But when we scrutinise alongthe historical and visual systems, it turns out that so many physical and sociqal spaces have been altered with regard to their quality and quantity, as result mis management ot the physical and social spaces by less careful urban reformists. they may bring about certain inbalancy in the system, destroying public imagination and memory about the identity and message conceived at the time of their construction. At the this may affect a condition, commonly called the lost space. Surabaya is one of the larger towns in Indonesia, which afrtime possessed a number of urban artefacts and workmanship. One of which is the Tunjungan Street, designed and developed by the Gemeente Administration of the Duutch as comercial corriodor of the town, with all its advantages and shortcomings. In spite of the fact that it has never been touched by the hands of the prominent urban planner Mr. Thomas C. Karsten, who has prepared and worked out the architecture of the bigger towns of the former Netherlands Indies like Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Malang and Ujung Pandang with their respective spesific colonial character impression. For the aging generation of the town, Surabaya is called with much regret as the lost city, because of the declining quality of some of its urban artefacts, which once has been their pride and their joy. The abovementioned commercial corridor of Jalan Tunjungan is an example of a lost space Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Kota adalah arsitektur. Arsitektur yang bukan sekedar gambar (wujud fisik-visual) dari kota yang bisa dilihat saja, melainkan juga sebagai suatu konstruksi. Yaitu konstruksi dari kota sepanjang waktu (Aldo Rossi, 1980). Kota merupakan karya seni yang sempurna, yang dibuat hanya oleh orang-orang yang benar-benar mengerti tentang urban. Konsep kota atau tepatnya urban-artefak sebagai karya seni selalu muncul dan diketemukan dalam bentuk-bentuk yang bervariasi ; dalam segala jaman dan kehidupan sosial-religius. Urban-artefak selalu berkaitan dengan tempat, peristiwa dan wujud-kota. Kota pada umumnya mempunyai sifat dinamis, alias tidak statis. Oleh karena itu tidaklah berlebihan apabila terdapat pernyataan umum yang menyebutkan bahwa; kota itu adalah lambang perjalanan sejarah, teknologi dan jamannya. Namun jika disimak dari sistem-sejarah maupun sistem-visual. Banyaknya ruang fisik dan sosial telah berubah baik secara kwalitas maupun kwantitas, sebagai konsekwensi logis adanya pertumbuhan (perkembangan dan pengembangan) dari ruang fisik dan sosial, yang belum dikelola secara benar dan baik. Bisa mengganggu keseimbangan , serta merusak kesan dan memori publik tentang identitas dan citra. Yang akhirnya akan dapat melahirkan apa yang disebut dengan lost space. Surabaya adalah salah satu kota besar di Indonesia, yang memiliki beberapa artefak-urban yang spesifik. Salah satunya yaitu jalan Tunjungan; yang pernah didesain serta dikembangkan pada masa pemerintahan Gemeente, sebagai "koridor komersial" Belanda dengan segala kelebihan dan kekurangannya. Walaupun tidak sampai tersentuh oleh tangan Thomas C. Karsten, seorang planolog Belanda yang berkarakteristik untuk desain kota-kota kolonial di Indonesia sebagaimana kota-kota besar lainnya, seperti; Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Malang, Ujung-pandang. Bagi generasi tua, Surabaya kini kemudian terkenal dengan dengan julukan the lost city, karena menurunnya beberapa kwalitas artefak-urban yang dimilikinya. Dimana salah satunya adalah koridor komersial jalan Tunjungan tersebut diatas. Kata kunci: Koridor jalan Tunjungan, Kotamadya Surabaya, Kota yang hilang (Lost-City), Ruang luar yang mubasir (Lost-space)
