Abstract

Lake Siombak area, located in North Sumatra, Medan City, Medan Marelan District, and Paya Pasir Village, has potential for development as stipulated in the RTRW regional regulation. But in the area, there are no tourism facilities such as lodging or waterside recreation areas with lakes. Judging from the existing potential, what are the criteria for facility tourism with the concept of lakeside architecture? As well as how to design a building with a lakeside architectural concept? This thesis will be answered with a qualitative descriptive method, namely, a method that uses the method for collecting data, presenting, comparing, and analyzing data, as well as conducting a field survey. The concept is applied by considering the orientation towards the lake, making openings towards the lake, making the lake the main view, and using materials and tourist facilities that can best support the design of resorts in the Lake Siombak area. In addition to supporting amenities like lakeside recreation areas, theme parks, barbecue areas, and a jetty, the design's dynamic building shape is oriented towards the lake, has the best view from every angle, and uses more natural materials so that the building can adapt to the surrounding area.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has a tropical climate with humidity high air which can reach 80%, as well as relatively high air temperature (can reach 35°C). While the comfortable air temperature ranges between 22.5°C - 29°C with humidity air ranges from 20% - 50%). Therefore, it is necessary to create comfort thermal space in the space where people perform movement and activity. One of the things the most important thing is the use of the roof. The roof has an influence on temperature and comfort in space, especially in terms of material use and shape selection roof of the building. The use of roof forms with different materials certainly will creates a different effect on buildings.

Abstract

The Revitalization Policy for Traditional Market Buildings often leads to mismatches between the designed space and its actual use. Many market facilities remain underutilised, while new informal spaces emerge in inappropriate locations. This highlights the need to reassess the design process and understand how revitalization policies impact Traditional-Modern Market planners. This research investigates the influence of existing policies on resolving design issues when modernising traditional market buildings. Using multiple case studies, specifically Badung Market and Banyuasri Market in Bali, the research collects data from design drawing archives provided by consultants and government agencies. These archival studies are compared with observations of user behaviour. Additionally, interviews with space planners, including two architectural consultants and four government officials from the Industry and Trade Service and the Public Works Service, were conducted. The qualitative analysis aims to construct the "conceived space" envisioned by the planners and identify factors causing the gap between planners and users. The findings reveal that not only the Traditional Market revitalization policy but also decisions by other authorities significantly affect space production. Factors influencing space production in public buildings like Modern-Traditional Markets include regulations, public policies, and regional vision and mission

Abstract

Semiotics is the science of signs aimed at communicating. In architecture, semiotics is a sign language that aims to provide information to society through architectural elements. Architectural semiotics consists of three elements: representation, user and meaning aimed at communication. The challenge in architectural semiotics is the process of delivering information that an architect wants to convey, whether it can be understood by an observer. Communication processes are not only limited to the process of understanding but capable of interpreting signs on architectural objects. To understand communicative architectural strategies, this study involves a case study of three architecture objects, which are then analyzed using semiotics. Gapura was chosen as an object of research, because it was a simple architectural object but had a load of meaning and signs. Research methods using the study of literature (journal, book and research report). The results of the research explained that the communication strategies of the three gaps were different, so architectural communications strategies were avoided by many things. (history, culture, identity dll). The architect's ability is tested to be able to communicate with the recipient through the signs he designs, so communication strategies and semiotic definitions are important to understand. Semiotics is the science of signs that aim to communicate. In architecture, semiotics is a language of signs that aims to provide information to the public through architectural elements. Architectural semiotics consists of three elements: representation, user and meaning, which aim to communicate.

Abstract

Indonesia, with its abundant cultural riches, faces challenges in preserving the traditional Batak cloth, Ulos, which is now threatened by globalization and foreign cultural claims. Ulos, which has been designated as Indonesia's Intangible Cultural Heritage (WBTb) since October 17 2014, has not yet received international recognition from UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) list. This recognition is very important to increase global awareness about Ulos and the need for its preservation. Considering these challenges, this research proposes the creation of "Ulos Heritage: Mixed Reality-based Interactive Museum" as an innovative solution to preserve and promote Ulos. This museum was designed with an interactive technology approach, using mixed reality to create a memorable and immersive experience for visitors. This approach involves presenting the collection in an appropriate atmosphere and providing a hands-on experience through augmented and virtual reality technologies. Design methods include literature studies, site surveys, and distributing questionnaires to ensure designs that suit visitor needs. This museum will be located in Medan City, North Sumatra, with facilities including an exhibition area, interactive space and souvenir area. This initiative aims to strengthen public understanding of Ulos and support global recognition as a cultural heritage that must be preserved.

Abstract

The Bank Indonesia Medan Office, built in 1907, is an example of an old building requiring seismic resilience evaluation. This article investigates the impact of the Strong Column-Weak Beam (SCWB) ratio on the collapse probability of SRPMK concrete structures using spectrum response and linear time history analyses. Ground motions from Niigata (Mw 6.63), Tohoku (Mw 9.12), and Miyagi (Mw 7.15) earthquakes were utilized. Findings indicate that the existing structure does not meet seismic resilience standards per SNI 1726:2019 and SNI 2847:2019. Structural modifications are necessary with an SCWB ratio of 1.2 to ensure adequate seismic resistance. The analysis reveals that the largest inter storey drift and displacement occur during the Niigata earthquake, while the maximum base shear is recorded in spectrum response analysis. Performance evaluation of the structure shows that the collapse probability remains within the Immediate Occupancy (IO) level. This article underscores the critical role of the SCWB ratio in determining collapse probability and provides recommendations for structural design improvements.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of varying the number of panels on the natural frequency and mode shape of truss bridges. Using a steel frame bridge as a case study, three different panel configurations (8, 10, and 12 panels) were analyzed through the Damped-DOF System and ABAQUS software. The results show that bridges with fewer panels exhibit lower natural frequencies, while those with more panels have higher frequencies due to increased stiffness. Furthermore, the mode shape analysis indicates that bridges with fewer panels experience greater deformations, potentially impacting their dynamic performance. This research emphasizes the importance of optimizing the number of panels in bridge design to enhance both stiffness and dynamic force resistance. Future research may explore the influence of other structural parameters on natural frequency and mode shape.

Abstract

The Justified Plan Graph (JPG) is a technique developed in the late 1970s and developed for 20 years as a means to do qualitative and quantitative research especially for spatial structure or permeability of buildings. With JPG, we can study the economic-socio-cultural conditions of the occupants. For example, the location of the balcony with a deep step depth shows that the space is a private area which space for hanging clothes out for drying. It also shows that clothes dryers are not yet popular among residents. The government of DKI Jakarta is currently building many subsidized flats to solve the housing stock problem. There are 15 unit types of them that each resident unit consists of 1 living room, 2 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and 1 laundry room. This research purpose to find out the JPG of 5 type of resident’s unit lay out whether there is sameness. Based on these JPGs, it was found that 3 of 5 JPG layouts are same. It means that there might be a sameness of thought between DKI Jakarta Government, the architetcs and other stake holders about the way of DKI Jakarta resident’s life that they shoud be accommodated. Such as busy life which demands high accesibility between each room for doing multiple works simultaneously so that they provide shallow step depth of each room and other interesting findings.
