Abstract

Accessibility for wheelchair users is a crucial aspect of inclusive hospitality facility design, especially in countries with an aging population such as Singapore. With 13.3% of the population aged over 50 in 2024 and a projected 28.6% by 2030, the need for accessible spaces is becoming increasingly urgent. This study employed a content analysis method with a descriptive approach, in which the architectural floor plan of the Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel was redrawn and overlaid against the accessibility standards set by the Building and Construction Authority. The evaluation focused on five key elements: safety, visual focal points, corridors, cores, and user well-being. The findings indicate that the hotel not only meets technical accessibility requirements but also successfully integrates aesthetic elements with safety functions. Reflectively, this study highlights how the application of universal design can contribute to the creation of inclusive, meaningful, and adaptive spatial experiences for users with limited mobility. As such, the hotel serves as a model of design that promotes sustainability and competitiveness in the global hospitality sector.

Abstract

Colonial buildings in cities like Malang face pressure to modernize without losing historical identity. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method involving field observations, literature review, and interviews, analyzed using conservation architecture principles. The research highlights the importance of preserving colonial heritage by adapting it to modern functions while maintaining architectural integrity. The transformation involved converting residential spaces into hotel facilities and adding new infill structures to support the new function. Findings reveal that interventions respecting minimal intervention, reversibility, and adaptive reuse enable both preservation of heritage and modern functionality This research aims to promote sustainable preservation practices and demonstrates how adaptive reuse can help colonial buildings remain functional and relevant in today’s urban context.

Abstract

This paper reimagines architectural landmarks within the hills of Labuan Bajo, proposing an approach where architecture seamlessly integrates with the landscape rather than asserting dominance. The study examines how design strategies can amplify rather than overshadow the natural environment, positioning nature as the true landmark through ephemeral architecture. Using Plowright’s force-based framework within an architectural competition, the research employs a research-by-design methodology to iteratively refine solutions that dissolve built interventions into the terrain. By integrating Labuan Bajo’s topographical and visual characteristics, the design leverages adaptive modularity and sustainable strategies to ensure perceptual fluidity within the site’s ecological and cultural context. This approach contributes to landmark design by demonstrating how architecture can function as a dynamic extension of the landscape, fostering harmony rather than visual competition.

Abstract

This study explores the transformation of function, form, and materials in the adaptation of the traditional Tongkonan house into the Toraja Church in Surabaya. The Tongkonan, a culturally significant dwelling for the Toraja's people, undergoes various changes when adapted to an urban context. Using a qualitative descriptive method and comparative analysis, this research examines differences between original Tongkonan houses and their architectural reinterpretation in the Surabaya church. The findings reveal that the function has shifted from residential to religious use, materials have changed from wood, bamboo, and thatch to concrete, steel, and glass, while the iconic curved roof form has been largely retained. These changes reflect a balance between preserving cultural identity and meeting modern building requirements. The study highlights how vernacular architecture can evolve through adaptation, offering a sustainable approach that respects tradition while responding to contemporary needs in urban environments.

Abstract

This research aims to conduct a spatial mapping analysis for Kamal Muara Fisherman Kampung to understand the development dynamic of its housing fabric. It focuses on identifying and exploring the potential for spatial hybridity, a key factor in the transformation of the kampung’s physical layout. The study identifies a critical issue in the current spatial aggregation, which lacks optimal development and coherence, thereby emphasizing its character for strategic planning and design intervention. A qualitative interpretive methodology is employed, utilizing a typo-morphological approach. The primary research instrument involves digital mapping techniques. The mapping process consists of three main stages: (1) map extraction, (2) morphological analysis, and (3) typological synthesis. The expected outcome of this research is the formulation of a spatial algorithm for model development, with a particular emphasis on generating a prototype for residential units that could serve as the structural core of the kampung’s spatial network.
