Abstract

Abstract: This research paper examines the sustainability aspects of bamboo as a versatile building material, with a particular emphasis on its potential to enhance lighting efficiency in construction. Sustainability in building construction necessitates eco-friendliness, affordability, versatility, and durability, all of which bamboo embodies. Beyond its well-documented thermal benefits, bamboo's rapid growth rate, adaptability to diverse climates, and inherent qualities position it as an eco-conscious choice for building materials. Notably, bamboo offers advantages such as high yield, environmental friendliness, lightweight properties, and rapid maturation for harvesting, making it a cost-effective option. This research delves into the key attributes and noteworthy applications of bamboo, including its innovative use in student boarding houses around Universitas Islam Indonesia. Through rigorous research, Bamboyasa workshop and experiments, we identified one of the 3 bamboo panels we made then selected the most promising panel for practical experimentation, focusing on bamboo panel technologies then modify the design to enhance the daylighting and thermal target. Our aim is to harness bamboo's unique characteristics to enhance human comfort and create sustainable building components tailored to lighting efficiency.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelago country that consists of various ethnic groups which have different cultural traditions according to the region itself. This cultural tradition has existed for generations, and it should be maintained and preserved by the Indonesian. The development of times, it makes the local value ​​of traditional culture slowly disappear. In prevention, the application of this ethnic architecture concept can preserve the culture of a nation. One of building that has the ethnic architecture concept is the Beringharjo Market in Yogyakarta. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method using a case study approach that aims to know how the application of the Ethnic Architecture concept in the Beringharjo Market. The construction of this market reflects the Javanese ethnic culture that prioritizes harmony. The space planning of Beringharjo Market contains Javanese philosophy and the mixture of ethnicities, one of them is European ethnicity. We can see the mixture through the shape of building, this market adopts European style and traditional Javanese style. The acculturation process of two cultures that is Javanese and European cultures shows us that the mixture culture is not limited to the locality but also across continents since the olden days. We can apply the glory of the palace to this market building that has a lower degree, especially to some elements of this building using some adjustments.

Abstract

The complexities of airborne noise insulation in tropical buildings provide challenges for predicting the value of airborne noise in buildings. The analysis employs standardized metrics, the Weighted Sound Reduction Index (DnT,w), to evaluate the impact of wall, floor, and ceiling combinations on acoustic performance. Notably, the study addresses the persistent challenge of flanking transmission, contributing to disparities between predicted and measured values. This study focuses on common construction materials in Indonesia. The outcomes reveal that lightweight construction materials, such as lightweight brick walls, consistently exhibit superior sound reduction, emphasizing their potential benefits in tropical regions. Additionally, the choice of ceiling materials, particularly gypsum board over wooden ceilings, significantly influences acoustic outcomes

Abstract

Indonesia is a maritime nation with the world's biggest archipelago. Despite the fact that Medan, and particularly the Medan Belawan District, played a significant role in Indonesia's maritime history, the district's potential remains unrealized and has not been utilized and accommodated properly. Media is needed to accommodate and educate the public about the importance of maritime knowledge by providing a museum that can function as a place for preserving maritime history. Unfortunately, the interest of the Indonesian people in visiting museums is still relatively low. Therefore, facilities/facilities and infrastructure are needed to support the function of the museum so that it is more recreational but still informative. The Belawan Maritime Museum is located at K.L.Yosudarso Street, Medan Belawan District, and provides information about Indonesian maritime affairs, especially Belawan. The design approach used is the metaphorical architectural approach. The metaphorical architectural theme with the shape of ships and waves applied to the museum is intended to optimize the appearance and marketability of this building. The use of metaphorical themes is closely related to the visual impression and meaning to be displayed in the building. This building is also expected to become an icon in the area. It is hoped that the design of the Belawan Maritime Museum can further increase the interest and insight of the Indonesian people, especially Medan City, about Indonesian maritime affairs and become one of the attractions of Medan City, especially Medan Belawan District, as a tourist destination for local and foreign tourists.Keywords: Belawan, maritime, metaphor architecture, museum

Abstract

Traditional markets are known as one of the pillars of people’s economic state, and because of that, they need to be developed properly. Despite that, traditional markets nowadays have a negative stigma which is dirty and smelly. To increase the interest of residents, many factors can be used such as adjusting and improving traditional market facilities. Design elements can help in solving this problem by adding openings and adjusting market structure modules. This paper aims to provide more information about the effect of market openings and modules on air circulation (odor) in the market. The method used in this research is a literature study, namely by collecting data related to solutions to counteract the smelly market through articles, journals, and books. The existence of an opening is to provide natural air circulation into a room, also the sunlight helps eradicate bacteria inside the humid room. The arrangement of the modules is also important so the odor of each segment does not mix. The existence of traditional markets must be maintained and developed so that it is necessary to overcome the bad smell in the current market because it can affect and have an impact on the interest of visitors to come to traditional markets.

Abstract

Sibolga has good tourism potential because many beautiful beaches can compete with other countries such as Japan, Korea, and Singapore. However, Sibolga is still far behind these countries, the city of Sibolga will be more beautiful if taken care of the cleanliness of the beach. A tourist attraction requires a building that can accommodate by providing lodging services and other facilities that can support tourism activities. The beach is an area that is very vulnerable to natural damage caused by humans themselves, who are less critical in preserving the environment. Therefore we need a building with a design that can provide environmental insight to the broader community. To answer these problems, the construction of a resort hotel with a green architectural theme will accommodate tourists on vacation. Not only that, a design following the characteristics of tourists is needed to create an appropriate room typology. In addition, the application of the green architectural theme in buildings can have a good influence on the community. Providing environmental examples, will open up public insight and enable to reduction of the impact of damage and maximization of natural resources. To realize an environmentally friendly building is to save energy by using renewable energy such as the use of windmills because the speed of the air on the floor can rotate the windmill turbine so that it can produce renewable energy or by using solar panels that capture the heat of sunlight, electrical energy to produce renewable electricity. It requires environmentally friendly materials.

Abstract

Reserving heritage areas has become a topic that has been discussed very frequently in recent years. What is interesting about preserving heritage areas is the active interaction that connects tangible and intangible elements. This active interaction is usually called place attachment. In the revitalization of the Kayutangan area, the government's efforts to revive the area with the concept of a heritage area are closely related to the attachment that local communities have to their place of life. Therefore, this research was conducted to find out, evaluate, and understand how places are attached to the Kayutangan area as a cultural heritage area. The research was conducted using descriptive and qualitative evaluative methods by conducting field observations and literature studies. The data obtained was evaluated using an analysis unit to see the qualifications that the Kayutangan area must fulfill as a public cultural heritage area. The results obtained from this research are the lack of cultural heritage public space elements in areas such as local architecture, the dominance of the main business in adaptive reuse buildings, authentic experiences, the lack of facilities that show gender equality and attention to the disabled community, resulting in no sense of loss. of justice, and a sense of mission in showing the attachment of local residents to their living area. The results of the research contribute to knowing how the results of Kayutangan revitalization are progressing and serve as input for evaluation in the future development of the area

Abstract

Riau is one of the provinces in the middle of the island of Sumatra. Geographically, Riau's land stretches from the slopes of Bukit Barisan to the coast of the Strait of Malacca. Many traditional Malay settlements are found along the Kampar River, Rokan River, Kampar River, and Indragiri River. Malays are very dominant in Riau Province, but there are also various other ethnic tribes such as Chinese, Banjar, and others. This study will examine the typology of Malay settlements in Riau Province. Typology is the study of types, that is, the attempt to conduct a review of types based on certain criteria. In this case, the framework of Levi-Strauss structuralism is the basis for a review of typology. Levi-Strauss believes that structuralism based on structural studies developed in culture, such as myths, beliefs, language, and symbols can be used as a reference for understanding a society including in the study of traditional settlements. This study uses literature research methods. The stages of the literature review are determining research topics, collecting information and data through various materials and scientific papers, discussion, and writing. Learn from various information about Malay settlements in Riau Province such as the Koto Sentajo settlement, Akit Tribe settlement, Kampung Dalam settlement, Siak Hulu settlement, and Rokan Hulu Defense Village settlement. Culture played an important role in the formation of these traditional Malay settlements. Each Malay settlement formed its distinctive features based on the cultural structure that was developed and adopted. Different cultural elements such as Malay dialects, social strata structures, customary institutions, rituals, inheritance, and kinship systems affect different typologies of traditional Malay settlements.
