Abstract

City parks have certain environmental characteristics and accommodate various types of activities that affect the sense of place of the user. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the dimensions of user activities and environmental characteristics, and sense of place levels related to city parks, as well as the causal relationships between them. Qualitative research was done using an online survey with open-ended questions. The collected text data were analyzed using content analysis. Quantitative research was done using an online survey with closed-ended questions that were compiled based on the results of the qualitative research analysis. The collected numerical data were analyzed by factor analysis and multivariate regression analysis. The analysis revealed four user activity dimensions (recreation, social interaction, work, and sports and hobby), seven environmental characteristics dimensions (natural environment, design, facilities, comfort, location, proximity, and entertainment), and two sense of place dimensions (compatibility with a place and dedication to a place). The dimension compatibility with a place tended to be influenced by the accessibility and visual quality of a park (location, natural environment, and park design), while the dimension dedication to a place tended to be influenced by user engagement (sport and hobby, and facilities).

Abstract

This research reveals meaning of “boundary line” due to the precast module system in Seruni 8 block, ‘Rusunawa’ Bumi Cengkareng Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia. The Grounded Theory method, with the type of “constant comparison”, which is a semi-grounded theory, is chosen to express the meaning of the “boundary line” from the residents’ point of view. The coding process in data processing uses computer program Maxqda. The results of this study indicate that well-established relationships between occupants can transform the boundaries of private corridor ownership (individual territory) into joint ownership (communal territory) as a place to socialize and share goods placed in the corridor, and maintain the cleanliness of the corridor together, so that the “boundary line” due to the precast module system for residents of the Seruni 8 block, ‘Rusunawa’ Bumi Cengkareng Indah, Jakarta, does not affect the meaning of the boundaries as the individual territory, because the communal territory is stronger than the “boundary line” due to the precast module system.

Abstract

This paper attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of blended learning in Heritage Conservation course, at the Department of Architecture Universitas Islam Indonesia Yogyakarta using both a mini-workshop in a historic district (cultural mapping) and Google My-Maps Platform (digital collaborative) as learning tools to achieve the learning outcomes. The overall finding shows that cultural mapping, as the first-hand information gathering of a heritage district gives the student understanding which then allows the students not only to appreciate the importance of heritage but also having empathy that heritage is not only about artifacts or architecture (tangible assets) but more about people who live in it. Meanwhile, Google My-Maps Platform offers an opportunity for the students to work together in different places and gives the flexibility on the digital learning process both in the heritage district, in the class, and at home. The result from the cultural mapping arranged in the My-Maps in many different forms, such as story/narratives, photos, and videos before producing the report on revealing the “DNA” of the heritage district and can be shared for the benefit of the public. This research has shown that blended learning (online and offline learning) is more effective in architectural education for it is more flexible but still allow the students to get direct experience with the real world.

Abstract

In step with economic growth, Pontianak City continues developing its physical development. From an environmental perspective, physical development that does not pay attention to the environment may make air temperature rise and create inconvenience to human. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tendency in the built/physical environmental aspects that have the possibility of influencing the microclimate in the urban center, regarding the trade area in Pontianak City. Built environmental aspects such as building density, building height, materials, etc. are described and then simulated towards the existing climate elements such as temperature, humidity, solar radiation, cloud cover, and others. The simulations used three-dimensional software ENVI_MET version 4. From findings, it can be seen that the built environment characteristics can affect the microclimate condition. From the simulations, the dominant temperature differences may occur in such built environment conditions such as density, dimensions, location, material, and vegetation closure.

Abstract

This paper discusses the production of space inside everyday using the narrative lens in architecture. The narrative in everyday is referred to as spatial trajectories. The study explores the spatial trajectories by analysing the story from a novel in order to identify the process of production of space within the everyday narrative. The inquiry results suggest that what is important in the production of space process is the bridge formed by the spatial trajectories. The more bridges that are present means, the more spatial trajectories are involved. It becomes important to consider the overlapping between spatial trajectories that occur in that space because it indicates various kinds of narratives involved.

Abstract

This paper investigates materiality as architecture manifestation in commercial informal space. The materialityapproach in this paper revolves around the Manuel De Landa idea of material’s properties and capacity, whichinteract to each other to create unlimited possibilities. This cycle of interaction is what Manuel DeLanda called as morphogenic power of its own. Understanding material system and existing context are two essential processin order to produce a responsive design in this random, unpredictable pattern of informal space, which in this paper, the context that will be specifically studied is Pasar Baru. In the further study, the material which will bestudied along with Pasar Baru context is the versatile usage of plastic chair. This paper will investigate materiality approach as a relevant method to create a contextual design, as this approach will be highly based oninteraction system between the physical material and the context.

Abstract

This study focuses on measuring the shading effect of surrounding buildings on the thermal performance of office buildings in Jakarta. It is compared with the shading effect of shading devices to optimize its use. This study uses EnergyPlus program to simulate a hypothetical 3x3block. The results showed that the H/W ratio has greater influence on building thermal performance than the surrounding building envelopes. With H/W ratio 2,7, the shading effect of surrounding buildings will be equivalent to 1,2m shading with an effective shadow angle of more than 360. For example, in a 10 floor building, the use of 1,2m shading is not required until the 8th floor based on the shadow angle in H/W ratio 2,7. At a smaller angle, the shading effect of surrounding buildings will be equal to the shading effect of shading devices with a width of less than 1,2m.
