Abstract

Pekanbaru City in its development has gone through a number of periods of power in a span of more than two hundred years. The era of regional autonomy gave more authority to the regions to develop their cities. Stable economic growth has made Pekanbaru City one of the urbanization destinations in the Sumatra region. These two things make the morphology of Pekanbaru City has dynamically transformed into a metropolitan city. This study found that the city grows and develops no longer oriented to the city center, but has spread evenly to all parts of the city area. The road structure system is also no longer dependent on the main road around the city center, but has reached all other parts of the city. Urban transformation is still dynamic based on city government regulations and market forces.

Abstract

The Central Market Medan is a district that holds significant architectural and historical value, especially in Medan. Built during the colonial era in 1929, the Central Market Medan was inaugurated in 1933 and consisted of 183 shopping buildings. The Central Market Medan played a role as a generator of commercial activity and was declared the largest market area in Medan during that period. As a commercial district, corner buildings play a significant role in optimizing commercial functions. Most of the corner buildings were built with special treatment that can be seen from the corner form and can be easily distinguished from the surrounding buildings to emphasize the presence of street corners. This research aims to analyze the corner buildings in Central Market Medan to find out the correlation between the corner building typology theory and corner buildings in Central Market Medan. The research is conducted using a qualitative method by field observations and literature studies. The results of this research are expected to find the typology of corner buildings in the District of Central Market Medan in the mean of emphasizing the corners in urban space. It is hoped that this research will contribute to developing architectural knowledge, especially regarding the corner buildings in the District of Central Market Medan.

Abstract

Buildings play diverse roles dictated by human activities within them. Yet, when a building loses its effectiveness in serving its intended purpose, it can become a burden to the city and its community, or else when the owner sees an opportunity to generate income without making significant architectural changes. The concept of adaptive reuse emerges as a solution, aiming to revitalize these buildings. This approach considers factors like architectural and cultural integrity in making design decisions, influencing spatial and functional transformations. Our research seeks to explore the intricacies of adaptive reuse, focusing on how cultural and architectural integrity guide design choices and shape the evolution of space and function. The study delves into two previous Javanese houses turned into museum (Omah UGM) or restaurant (Restoran Lumbung Mataram). A qualitative research specifically was applied to this study with direct survey and interviews for data collection. By comparing data from these buildings, the research aims to highlight differences in decision-making processes for adaptive reuse and their impact on cultural and architectural integrity of the repurposed buildings.

Abstract

The province of Bangka Belitung Islands requires a high-quality human resource pool in the field of shipping and nautical studies. To support the education and competency development of human resources in the maritime sector, the construction of the Politeknik Pelayaran Bangka Belitung (POLTEKPEL BABEL) is deemed necessary. POLTEKPEL BABEL is envisioned to be a sustainable school building, characterised by its lower consumption of energy, water, and resources, as well as reduced waste generation compared to conventional buildings. This research focuses on the implementation of the green building concept in the design of POLTEKPEL BABEL. The study employs a quantitative descriptive method and a design method that integrates systems with existing ecological processes on-site, including orientation, wall-to-window ratio (WWR), the cumulative value of Roof Thermal Transfer Value (RTTV) and Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV), as well as technical planning assessments for green buildings. Both primary and secondary data are utilised in this research. The findings indicate that the design of POLTEKPEL BABEL incorporates the principles of green building by considering various indicators outlined in the technical guidelines for green building assessment. These indicators encompass site management, energy usage efficiency, indoor air quality, the use of environmentally friendly materials, and waste management. Consequently, the implementation of these principles in the design of POLTEKPEL BABEL is expected to support sustainable development encompassing environmental, energy, and occupant well-being aspects.

Abstract

According to the 'Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture', the form of a building must be derived from the fulfillment of the function it serves [1]. The form obtained can also be one aspect of the characteristics of an architectural style, such as in Futuristic Architecture. This research takes a case study of the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) building, BSD. Based on theoretical studies in various literatures, the characteristics of the Futuristic Architecture form are formulated, which are (1) dynamic form, (2) varying dimensions, (3) colors and textures are more striking but still simple, (4) shape and orientation can be interpreted differently from various positions, and (5) unstable visual inertia. The research used the descriptive-qualitative method, which describes the form of Futuristic Architecture found in the case study based on these five characteristics. Based on the analysis, it found that the ICE BSD building is suitable for the characteristic of the Futuristic Architecture form that affects the function of the convention building, and it can concluded that the Futuristic Architecture form has suitability in form, dimensions, color, texture, and visual inertia aspect, and unsuitability in position and orientation aspect.

Abstract

One of the grounds that supports this design is the high incidence of mental diseases in North Sumatra, particularly in Medan, and the dearth of appropriate rehabilitation facilities. According to information from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2019, there are a lot of issues with mental diseases among Indonesians, particularly in the province of North Sumatra. Up to 31.86% of North Sumatran's population suffers from mental illnesses. Additionally, 35.55% of people in Medan in North Sumatra as a whole suffer from mental illnesses. It is a component of several therapy processes for the recovery of ODGJ through physical, psychological, and social methods, according to the 2017 Indonesian Minister of Health Regulation of Rehabilitation. Designing health center buildings, especially rehabilitation centers, is highly advised when using healing architecture. The architecture used to promote healing or repair is known as "healing architecture." Because color and natural elements in buildings can assist patient rehabilitation, these two features are typically associated with healing architecture in its application. Because there is a connection between a building's architecture and the healing requirements of its occupants, healing architecture is crucial in rehabilitation center construction. It is intended that with the availability of treatment facilities that match the quality and design of better buildings, awareness of the significance of mental health in society would grow and an increasing number of individuals will have the courage to speak up and seek treatment. Social stigma will automatically decrease as a result.

Abstract

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) report that twenty million Nigerian children lack access to basic school education. This is due to inadequate support for children with unique educational needs and impairments in primary school buildings. This study aims to assess how inclusive design ideas have been applied in Abuja public primary school buildings to accommodate children with unusual academic needs, including disabilities, in Nigeria. A descriptive study design with a survey technique was employed as the methodology. A standardised questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale was used to collect information and was delivered to a sample size of 133 people. According to the data, physically challenged pupils and older staff were more concerned with the proportions of overall desires and security, skills, and perception. Additionally, no ramps were installed in the school buildings, prohibiting disabled students from moving vertically, and students with impairments have difficulty reaching areas of conveniences. These findings indicate that inclusive design ideas have not been included into the architectural designs of Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) community primary academic buildings. The findings suggest the need for strong legislation to create an inclusive design special unit to ensure all architectural designs meet FCTA institutional standards for primary school building delivery
