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.

Abstract

Abstrak Dalam perencanaan ruang publik di kawasan cagar budaya, arsitek dan perencana umumnya lebih fokus pada aktivitas formal dan mengabaikan aktivitas informal. Aktivitas informal di ruang publik muncul tanpa perencanaan namun sejatinya dipicu oleh aktivitas formal yang dirancang. Fenomena ini membentuk suatu ritme ruang urban yang kontradiktif sehingga menghasilkan makna ruang publik yang ambigu. Penelitian ini mengkaji fenomena kontradiksi ruang sosial publik yang timbul akibat informalitas sebagai dampak revitalisasi kawasan cagar budaya dengan mengambil Kawasan Siola di Surabaya sebagai studi kasus. Studi dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berdasarkan teori rhythmanalysis dari Lefebvre dengan metode wawancara dan observasi lapangan. Pembacaan ruang dilakukan dengan mengkaji lima variabel: elemen fisik dan non-fisik, jenis kegiatan, pola penggunaan ruang, objek pengisi ruang, serta dimensi waktu. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas informal memiliki peran penting dalam pembentukan ruang kota. Informalitas menjadi elemen kunci dalam menanggapi dinamika ruang kontradiktif dan menjadi tantangan dalam pendekatan desain urban di kawasan perkotaan, khususnya kawasan cagar budaya.   Abstract In the process of planning of public spaces within heritage areas, architects and planners tend to focus on formal activities while neglecting informal ones. Informal activities in public spaces usually emerge without prior planning; however, it may be triggered by the designed formal activities. This phenomenon generates a contradictory urban spatial rhythm, resulting in an ambiguous meaning of public space. This study examines the phenomenon of social space contradiction arising from informality as an impact of heritage area revitalisation, taking the Siola area in Surabaya as a case study. The research employs a qualitative approach based on Lefebvre’s theory of rhythmanalysis, using interviews and field observations. Spatial interpretation is conducted through five variables: physical and non-physical elements, types of activities, spatial use patterns, spatial objects, and temporal dimensions. The findings reveal that informal activities play a significant role in shaping urban space. Informality becomes a key element in responding to the dynamics of contradictory space and presents a challenge for urban design approaches, particularly in heritage areas.

Abstract

Abstrak   Penelitian ini menganalisis persistensi sosial dan spasial pada Alun-Alun Merdeka dan Alun-Alun Tugu di Kota Malang dalam konteks perubahan morfologi kota. Metode yang digunakan berupa analisis sinkronis untuk membaca kondisi eksisting, analisis diakronis untuk melihat transformasi historis. Content analysis dilakukan juga terhadap observasi lapangan, peta historis, dan literatur. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa Alun-Alun Merdeka berkembang secara adaptif mengikuti dinamika sosial-ekonomi, sedangkan Alun-Alun Tugu mempertahankan struktur fisik dan nilai simboliknya sebagai ruang representatif kota. Kedua alun-alun tetap menjadi node penting dalam jaringan kota. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa persistensi ruang terbentuk melalui kombinasi bentuk fisik, aktivitas sosial, dan makna simbolik. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi pada pemahaman resiliensi ruang publik serta implikasinya bagi desain dan pengelolaan ruang terbuka kota.   Abstract This study examines the spatial and social persistence of Alun-Alun Merdeka and Alun-Alun Tugu in Malang City within the context of urban morphological change. The research employed a synchronic analysis to assess current conditions and diachronic analysis to trace historical transformations. The research applied content analysis to data obtained from field observations, historical maps, and relevant literature. The findings indicates that Alun-alun Merdeka has adapted to ongoing socio-economic dynamics, whereas Alun-alun Tugu has retained its physical structure and symbolic civic identity. Despite their differing trajectories, both Alun-alun continue to function as key nodes within the city’s spatial network. The study concludes that the persistence of public spaces arises from a combination of physical form, social activity, and symbolic meaning. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of public space resilience and offer implications for the design and management of urban open spaces.

Abstract

This paper argues that the vertical stratification of formal, informal, and historical layers in Bandung contributes to the emergence of Junkspace, particularly around Gedung Sate, a heritage government building embedded in a rapidly urbanizing context. Drawing on Koolhaas’ concept of Junkspace and theories of spatial heterogeneity, the research explores how informal peripheries intersect with formal urban growth, creating porous hybrid spaces that defy conventional spatial order. Through qualitative spatial analysis, street-level observations, and time-lapse figure-ground studies from 2017 to 2025, the study reveals that informal structures adapt to, rather than displace, formal ones. This coexistence generates architectural incoherence marked by non-hierarchical, fused uses. The findings suggest that Gedung Sate is evolving into a form of Junkspace not merely through the erosion of spatial order but through active transformations that blend historical permanence with dynamic informal encroachments, reflecting the complex and layered realities of contemporary Bandung.
