Abstract

The fact that the Yogyakarta Palace is a centre and means of embodying cultural values that are still maintained and exist is proven through two aspects intangibles and tangibles. The distribution of local values reality, such as philosophy increasingly being threatened among the younger generation. From the physical revitalisation, we can understand the symbolic meaning of the Yogyakarta Palace through buildings because they contain complete symbolic meanings, especially in Witana Ward's floor elevation. What is the floor elevation shape with the steps? How is the relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings? What is the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape with steps? The research questions align with the urgency to formulate floor elevation shapes with the steps, formulate a relationship process between geometric shapes and symbolic meanings, and formulate the symbolic meaning of the floor elevation shape. The semiotic method with Peirce and Chandler's analytical model will be applied to study the floor elevation forms to uncover latent factors that are produced by truths under local knowledge. The result is a system consisting of three sign components, built from floor elevation shape with the steps objects that have a relationship with Vastu as context.

Abstract

Traditional buildings are one type of structure that can adapt to a dynamic environment. Some functions of the building’s spaces have been changed to the new requirements, but the building's overall shape has been preserved. The purpose of this study was to examine and determine the differences in perceived thermal comfort values ​​between occupants and visitors inside the building. Using the observation method and analyzing the data through PMV-PPD and correlating with the Adaptive method in the Center for the Built Environment (CBE) Thermal Comfort Tool Website, it shows that there are differences caused by the environmental climate that do not match the PMV standard from ASHRAE. This study also has shown a difference of 18% between the PMV value of visitors to occupants, where there are past factors that influence this difference, and also a difference of 0.58 between the PMV value of Fanger and Sugini theory (comparison between general theory that is often used with the local theory that has been researched), because of Indonesians' heat tolerance. In this study, it was found that there are variables that are not needed in the adaptive method approach of naturally ventilated buildings, namely the humidity in buildings that are in tropical and humid areas. The reason for this is that the effect of moisture on the thermal sensation is insignificant, and it can be neglected.

Abstract

BIM has been wide used the achieve and effective and productive construction. Construction technology is one of the construction methods to increase productivity. Stakeholders are required to complete the project in a short time and with optimal results. One way to improve performance effectiveness is to apply the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method to quantity calculation work in order to increase work effectiveness. This study aims to compare the conventional and BIM methods. The object of this research is subsidized housing in Central Java. In the project completion process, the calculation of the volume of the roof, walls and floor uses the conventional method. Then an evaluation was carried out using the BIM method and a comparison was made between the BIM method and conventional methods. Between the two methods, the BIM method has an average accuracy rate that is better than the manual method. The results of the study show that the comparison of the cost of subsidized housing that is measured by BIM and conventional has a significant difference. Comparison of the total budget plan using the Building Information Modeling method is lower than the conventional method, namely the difference more than 1 billion.

Abstract

Wood modification treatment has grown in popularity over the last few years and continues to expand as an industrial method for improving certain types of wood. As a result of environmental concerns, the wood sector is under more pressure than ever to develop wood alternatives. Nowadays, fast-growing wood species appear to be increasingly potential as substitute wood sources for bridging the supply-demand gap in the wood industry. Albasia (Albizia falcataria), sometimes known as sengon wood, is a fast-growing wood widely planted in Indonesia. However, specific characteristics of the wood, such as low density, low hardness, and low strength, have been hindering its end-use applications as a building material. Therefore, numerous technologies are utilized to enhance wood's physical and mechanical qualities. This paper summarizes the extensive literature on wood modification of Albizia falcataria and synthesizes the major publications on wood properties, chemical changes, wood uses, and quality control. Acetylation, furfurylation, thermal modification, and impregnation as wood modification technologies have been utilized in Albizia falcataria studies. Based on recent investigations, this article aims to review the current state of knowledge regarding the wood modification technologies for improving physical and mechanical properties of Albizia falcataria. Identifying the gaps in research would also aid in accelerating the research activities for deploying these modification technologies on an industrial scale.

Abstract

Most architectural designers develop an opening based only on its function and form. Other exciting things can be created further by exploring an opening. An opening is crucial as a design element to complement user activities and interactions. This paper examines ways to read openings from various architectural perspectives. Observations were carried out on objects in the form of several commercial buildings in Yogyakarta as a research method. The research results through the multi-perspective reading of the morphology of an opening show the influence of transparency, dimensions, shape, system, supporting components, opening height, and opening view framing in providing meaning and added value. The exploration that has been carried out then provides an understanding that the opening is not limited to its primary function as ventilation and lighting but can more broadly include the influence of its morphology on the perception it creates as a complete design presentation.

Abstract

White paper waste usually is recycled into pulp as a basic material for making new sheets of paper. Recycled paper panel can be used as building elements. The objects of observation in this research include the manufacturing process and water resistance of recycled paper panels on a household scale. The process of making paper using a household blender compared with a paper chopper. The resulting paper pulp from these two tools is then mixed, printed, and tested for water resistance. Paper models without binding media were used as standards, compared with organic binding media made from tapioca flour and white adhesives. Four different paper thicknesses were made to test their water resistance performance. As a result, paper with a white adhesive binder can last more than 30 minutes after being exposed to water and when dry can be reused while paper without a binding medium is damaged by water.

Abstract

The evolution of building openings, particularly windows, has expanded beyond basic functions like light and ventilation to include energy efficiency, aesthetics, and technology integration, influencing user behavior and interactions. However, these interactions remain underexplored. This study examines how windows impact user behavior in Yogyakarta City and Sleman Regency. Using qualitative field observations at 12 locations and 22 window points, interactions were categorized into three types: openings as objects of attention without physical interaction, openings approached with physical interaction, and openings approached with unusual interactions. These categories were analyzed based on physical, spatial, and psychological aspects. The influence of each element was evaluated by comparing the similarities within interaction categories across different cases. The research identified three types of interactions: attention without interaction, physical interaction, and unusual interaction. Findings reveal that window characteristics, spatial context, and psychological perceptions collectively shape user engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of these factors in window design, offering valuable insights for creating more user-centric, interaction-oriented window designs in modern architecture.

Abstract

Adaptive thermal comfort allows users to adapt themselves and their environment to achieve thermal comfort. This research is a literature review of adaptive thermal comfort, which aims to determine comparison to assess the comparison of comfort temperatures and user thermal adaptation behavior from various climatic conditions and ventilation systems. This study found that natural and mixed-mode ventilation rooms were proven to have a wider comfortable temperature range than air conditioning rooms in tropical and non-tropical non-winter climates. The findings revealed the proximity of thermal preferences in tropical and non-tropical non-winter climates in terms of comfort temperature and clothing insulation in natural and mixed-mode ventilation rooms (26.0 ºC and 25.6 ºC, and 0.60 clo and 0.62 clo, respectively). The toughest adaptation is found in winter climates, with high clothing insulation, even when the heater is turned on. Clothing insulation is negatively correlated to operative and comfort temperatures. Through the discovery of wide comfortable temperature ranges in naturally ventilated rooms and the increasing interest in adaptation to windows and fans, air velocity has the potential to be an energy-saving strategy to achieve thermal comfort.
