Abstract

One factor that influences public health is the quality of the health of the residential environment, which is determined by the quality of the green open space. The role of green open space in housing is to make residents who stay inside feel like being in nature, not like in a crowded room, to improve the psychological health of residents. This study aims to explore condominium designs that have good oxygen levels, avoid air pollution and inhibit the spread of the virus so that the condominium can improve the physical health of residents. The method used descriptive qualitative in the form of a literature study. The results of this study produce healthy building designs with natural lighting and ventilation in housing that saves energy use, cool air humidity, a building site that is free from air pollution and noise by vehicles, reusable water quality, residential safety, green open space that can provide good oxygen levels, and green open space that connected to the indoor area.

Abstract

One of the key issues in twentieth-century architecture is the energy problem and daily rise in environmental pollution brought on by the creation of greenhouse gases, particularly in the construction industry. The purpose of the research that follows is to investigate how well buildings heat up while also updating double-skinned facades to ensure thermal comfort for the residents while using the least amount of energy possible. The thoughtful design of a building's exterior is one of the most crucial ways to conserve energy in that structure. The finest choice for controlling the interplay between the interior and exterior spaces is a ‘double-skin facade’. Double-skin facades have been used more frequently recently to increase transparency in both building renovations and new construction. Although glare issues may worsen, double-skin facades improve lighting levels and the outside view. When comparing a typical glass facade to one with an additional layer of glazing, it is possible to reduce heat loss and outside noise. A very critical concern appears to be the protection of external solar shading devices against wind and deterioration. This paper reviews and discusses the earlier research on double-skin building facade systems. The evaluation of a double-skin facade system for long-term building envelope or infrastructure development is the main theme of the paper.

Abstract

MICE is one of the drivers of tourism that can impact economic development in an area. Sibolga has the potential to become a MICE tourist destination because of its natural beauty, rich in historical and cultural heritage. However, the meeting facilities in Sibolga could not accommodate many people, thus requiring a convention center to accommodate the rapidly growing population without leaving any cultural characteristics there. A convention center is a place for people as usual groups (politicians, business people, scholars, and so on) can share knowledge and discuss a problem, new information, and interest. The design of this convention center aims to become a gathering center for visitors to seek information about things in Sibolga and its surroundings. In addition, the use of neo-vernacular architecture in the building is a manifestation of maintaining the traditional characteristics of Sibolga with a modern touch. The method uses the description method, which describes primary and secondary data with existing facts and then analyzes it to get conclusions. The design result is that the convention center, is expected to be a productive place to introduce and provide insight or knowledge. Attract local people and tourists to maintain and preserve the variety of arts and culture in Indonesia, especially in Sibolga.

Abstract

A cultural park is a location with both closed and open spaces where locals and visitors may create and plan events related to art and culture. Cultural parks should have the capacity to reflect local culture and promote the growth of the arts and culture in a community. However, because these activities are not seen as important, Binjai City lacks a unique location to host cultural events. One of the issues with the absence of public opinion and interest in culture and art in the City of Binjai is the lack of engaging educational and recreational cultural tourism. Because of this, the Binjai City administration needs to create a space where young people may be encouraged to develop their artistic and cultural interests and expand the city's tourism amenities. It is hoped that the cultural park building's indoor and outdoor spaces will play a significant role as a public facility based on social values in local artistic and cultural activities, become a leisurely tourist destination, and provide social education-based public services in maintaining culture in the City of Binjai. As a result, the building has a modern and current local cultural character thanks to the contemporary architectural style employed in developing this cultural park. This does not preclude the possibility of becoming one of the factors that promote the Binjai metropolis's manifestation as a vibrant metropolis for both young and old generations.

Abstract

Bamboo is a plant that has many benefits. Bamboo is also easy to grow and cultivate and has flexible properties so bamboo plants are often used in curved structures. In the community, bamboo is usually only used as a tool in agriculture, and the processing of bamboo materials is also not studied very well. The author aspires to develop a tourism destination that educates visitors about bamboo plants as a result. The tourist destination in issue is a bamboo plant educational tourism destination where every activity is entwined with or associated with bamboo plants. As an illustration, consider the introduction of bamboo plants, bamboo farming, or bamboo crafts. There is also a resort in the region that serves as a temporary house and is constructed from bamboo plants. The author's chosen topic, which is ecological architecture, is reflected in the usage of bamboo in the home as a structure and construction material. The term "ecological architecture" refers to architectural designs that utilize local materials and nearby natural resources. Because this research technique focuses more on gathering data that may be utilized to support the researcher's position, the author also employed a narrative review as part of the methodology for this study.

Abstract

Traditional Balinese buildings, especially in Cekeng Village, have changed and gotten worse as tourism has grown. Nevertheless, nothing has been said about the layout, building materials, shape, or size of traditional Balinese houses in Banjar Cekeng. This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the traditional Balinese house building in Banjar Cekeng, Sulahan Susut Village, Bangli. Qualitative, descriptive research design, where data is gathered through interviews and written accounts of what happened. Data analysis is carried out descriptively. The results showed that the characteristics of traditional Balinese house buildings in Banjar Cekeng, Sulahan Village, Susut District, Bangli Regency, in terms of the shape of the building, have changed, especially regarding the height of the building. In general, the layout of the buildings is not that different from the traditional architecture of mainland Bali. There are paon (bale daja), pelinggih penunggu karang, and tebe surrounded by bamboo forests. In terms of building materials, it is dominant to use natural materials such as wood (Merbau and camphor wood) and bamboo. However, the lack of bamboo, which is quite a lot, has resulted in people choosing to use other materials. Hence, the uniqueness of the traditional buildings of Cekeng village, in terms of roof building materials, namely, bamboo, has changed to a tile roof, both for sakanem and paon buildings.

Abstract

Pancur Batu is one of the districts in Deli Serdang, with the majority of the population being Muslim. But from a large number of the Muslim population, the facilities to channel the spiritual needs of Muslims are relatively few. There are fewer mosques than churches, and schools that teach Islamic knowledge, such as Madrasahs and tahfidz houses, are also relatively few. This research aims to design the landscape of the tahfidz hut area as a place to channel the spiritual needs of Muslims which contain open space, a tahfidz Qur'an building, a place of Muslim worship (Mosque), a coaching area for tahfidz Qur'an students and Muslim visitors. Islamic garden is a concept adopted from the depiction of the beauty of heaven in the Qur'an towards a landscape character. The research method used in this research is the site inventory method, then comparative studies of similar projects, literature studies, and data analysis techniques. The results of this research are in the form of working drawings that include basic concepts, design concepts, and development concepts. The output of landscape planning of Tahfidz boarding school consists of a site plan and illustration drawing. The result of Islamic garden-based landscape planning is to plan a landscape that can be enjoyed optimally and can have a good influence on humans and has sharia rules or restrictions on elements, characters, and activities in Islamic gardens that aim not to associate with Allah SWT.

Abstract

Irrational elements inside of structure become greater with the increase of size so this results in higher probability of fatigue failure. Especially, cracks easily occur in the sections with comparatively high stress. Since ordinary tensile and compressive fatigue experiment can’t provide clear size effect for smooth specimen, it can cause great error in correction of the fatigue strength of a structural member. This paper analyzed size factors of geometrically similar notched specimen based on finite element method and Theory of critical distance (TCD). First, simple formula was presented to calculate size factor of notched specimen by gradient effect, and introduced it to an example to get size factor. Calculation results show it is reasonable to apply size factor to the notched specimen and it is better to reflect size effect under tension and compression. Under the assumption that the life of notched plane mainly depend on the formation of cracks life span formula for steel materials was prepared. And empirical formula for fatigue strength of notched specimen with local feature variable is presented. These formulas and empirical extrapolation were used as the base to determine the formula for size factor of notched specimen. Fatigue simulation and law of approximation were applied to produce a model of skip structure in mine and formula of size factor was used to calculate size factor of member.

Abstract

Covid-19, which is declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on March 11 2020 has significant impacts in many sectors around the world. Nevertheless, there is a lack of research which analyses the impact of Covid-19 in the construction projects risks in developing countries. Given the lack of research related to the construction projects risks due to Covid-19, the overall aim of the study is to identify and classify the risk in a construction project as a result of Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia. The methodology which is used in this study is by implementing the questionnaire approach with the targets from the related construction industry stakeholders. The findings identified five risks which have the highest possibility to occur in a construction project as a result of Covid-19, in which the highest risk is delayed funding on construction project design (Score: 0,2523) while the lowest risk is unknown threat or vandalism from the neighborhood gangster (score: 0,0136). Further study will focus on the way in which we could develop a new framework model for risk management and preventive measures of these risks adjusted to Covid-19 impact.
