Abstract

This study aims to analyze the form and façade of the SQ Residence mixed-use office center in Jakarta, Indonesia, in the context of contemporary architectural principles. The focus is on identifying visual and geometric characteristics that reflect modern design in an urban setting. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, combining a literature review of architectural theories with direct field observations. Data were collected through documentation and visual analysis, focusing on external elements due to access limitations. The SQ Residence office center, consisting of three identical towers, features an elliptical base form with additive and subtractive transformations that create a dynamic and expressive mass. The façade integrates glass panels for transparency and natural light, combined with a secondary skin of steel and aluminum composite panels, forming vertical and horizontal rhythmic patterns. These features align with key aspects of contemporary architecture: innovative geometry, contrasting materials, transparency, and contextual distinction. The design of the SQ Residence office center demonstrates how contemporary architecture can effectively merge aesthetic expression with environmental and urban responsiveness. This study contributes to the understanding of form-façade relationships in mixed-use developments and highlights practical design strategies for architects working in dense urban environments.

Abstract

Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB) are schools that are intended for children with special needs so that they can obtain basic education services. SLB Marsudi Putra 2 Pandak was chosen as the object of research because this school has shortcomings in terms of building facilities and infrastructure due to inefficient room layout. The purpose of this study is to examine the universal architectural approach to SLB Marsudi Putra 2 Pandak so that an evaluation can be carried out so that SLB Marsudi Putra 2 Pandak meets the standards for universal design. The research method used is a precedent study and qualitative approach, namely by taking precedents from several SLB buildings through direct observation, interviews with users, and documentation studies related to the building. The results of this study are that SLB Marsudi Putra 2 Pandak has not met the building standards for universal architectural design, so a design proposal was submitted for this building which was able to show that the application of universal architecture can provide design concept results that accommodate the comfort and needs of students with special needs and provide an effective basic concept in terms of space, room shape, lighting system, measurement, and comfortable room elements for people with special needs.

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between tourism and cultural preservation as well as the evolution of bale banjar architecture in Kuta, Bali. In the context of increasing tourist visits, this study analyzes both the positive and negative impacts on traditional architectural structures and local cultural practices. The expansion of the tourism industry in Kuta has had a significant impact on local culture and traditional architecture, particularly on the bale banjar, which generally serves as a symbol of community gathering for the local adat. The study broadly aims to examine how tourism influences cultural preservation and the evolution of bale banjar architecture. The methods used include qualitative analysis through interviews with local residents, direct observations, and literature reviews. The findings reveal that tourism drives changes in the design of bale banjar to attract visitors, but it also poses risks to traditional values. On the one hand, increased attention to local culture has the potential to strengthen preservation efforts, but on the other hand, commercialization can undermine the authenticity of the architecture. These findings highlight the need for sustainable tourism management strategies to maintain a balance between economic development and cultural preservation in Kuta, Bali.

Abstract

Jakarta holds a variety of cultural and architectural heritage. One of the architectural heritages that can be traced to this day is the Mosque. There are several historical mosques that can be traced to this day, including the Angke Mosque, Al Arif Mosque, Ansor Mosque, Kampung Bandan Mosque, and Luar Batang Mosque. These mosques reflect a mixture of cultures and changes in social, religious, and architectural aspects. This study aims to explore and analyze the architectural characteristics of the five historical mosques in Jakarta. This study uses a qualitative method with typomorphological analysis that obtains data from field observations and literature. The results of the study show that each mosque has a distinctive spatial typology, influenced by a blend of local vernacular, colonial, and Islamic architectural traditions. Elements such as tiered roofs, wooden structures, open porch spaces, and the absence of domes reflect adaptation to the tropical climate and local building culture.

Abstract

Architecture is often understood as a real and tangible science, in the form of space and form. This understanding is associated with the origin of the word ‘techne’ which refers to the engineering in the construction process of a building, an architectural work. Writing on new architecture developed around 1968, at a time when architectural criticism by Louis Huxtable became known although the form of writing, identification both in pictures and description, had been done since the time of the Roman Empire by Vitruvius and later interpreted by Leon Battista in the Renaissance. This paper describes descriptively several examples and categories of writing about architecture, especially in Indonesia. The study uses an exploratory study approach with reference to the theory of architectural criticism from Attoe’s understanding. The descriptive exploration of this paper shows there are at least four categories of architectural writing in Indonesia, from those aimed at creating architectural narratives to making architectural texts which are then called archi-text-ture in the paper. The paper is not a final paper, because it is the start of a long textual journey, so it is made as an archi-text-ture construction process and to open up opportunities for further interpretation and development

Abstract

In Bali, crossroad or pempatan agung is not only seen as a channel of movement. Crossroad or better known as catuspatha in Balinese architecture has sacred meaning and values. In the days of the kingdoms, associated with its status as the center of the royal capital, catuspatha was functioned as the natah of the city. It was the center of citizen activities. Along with the development of times, technology, and the influence of economic, social and cultural factors, the catuspatha was increasingly experiencing development and changes. This study seeks to identify the development and changes of the catuspatha of Denpasar City based on the theory of The Third Typology by Anthony Vidler. The research method used is typical normative criticism which has the belief that buildings and urban areas are always built through a model based on the types of structural, functional, and shape. The results show that The Third Typology also applies to the catuspatha of Denpasar City, where its development and changes can be seen from three typologies, including the first typology which emphasizes natural philosophy, the second typology which is more modernist ideology, and the third typology neo rationalist which emphasizes on continuity of form and history.

Abstract

At the time this paper started being written, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had been taking place for more than a year. To date, it has caused fear in society because the number of deaths it causes is nearly 3 million people, the effectiveness of the vaccines being developed is uncertain and there is no convincing drug available. As a result, the virus having hit almost all countries and regions around the world has affected the way humans behave and will have an impact on the architectural design and urban spaces in which humans live. This paper explores the possible criteria for architectural design and urban design in response to a pandemic, particularly in Bali. Plural society serves as the characteristic of the island whose inhabitants have traditional activities mixed with modern trends. The mixed society has a rich tradition of communal living with social activities involving large masses of people. To produce post pandemic design criteria, this study critically reviewed recent publications including peer-reviewed articles, journals, and expert’s blog posts. In the next stage, the results of the review were used to evaluate activity patterns and fostered environment at several locations in Bali. The locations observed included traditional houses in Ubud, urban houses in Denpasar, offices, and traditional markets. Secondary data were organised into several themes. Meanwhile, field observations were focused on the possibility of implementing Health protocols in different places as well as community compliance in complying with them. This study found that during the period of limiting community activities due to the pandemic, health, safety and environmental hygiene had received the attention of all groups. The study also revealed that the built environment tried to make many adjustments. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these adjustments is questionable. For this reason, further research that will produce new built spaces needs to be carried out. It will result in the need for more detailed design criteria as a mechanism to prevent the spread of the virus.

Abstract

Density of Surabaya city affects the physical and psychological health of the people. Productive activities accompanied by a dense environment mean that people rarely have time to exercise. To increase the awareness and interest of the people of the city of Surabaya to exercise, it is necessary to have a sports facility with a special approach. Biophilic theory, especially the natural shapes and form approach, can be a solution to these problems. The return of nature's essence into the building can provide positive benefits for human physical and physical health. Previous research has discussed the determination of fitness center design criteria with the natural shapes and forms approach in Surabaya. In this follow-up journal, we will discuss the final result or application of the design criteria into an architectural work. The design method used is the force based framework method. The force in the design of this building in addition to the surrounding natural environment is the natural perception of the community which is transformed into architectural forms. It aims to increase interest in training and restoring the user's physical and psychological health without having to go far out of town to look for nature.
