Abstract

Subjectivity in assessing the aesthetics of a composition in architecture and interior design industry and even education is commonplace today. A less objective assessment can blurry a person's ability of designing building’s aesthetic. In fact, there were quantitative rules for judging the beauty of building appearance in Classical Architecture era. Therefore, the aim of this study is getting quantitative measurement for composition’s aesthetics of building. To achieve that, qualitative research method is used with grounded theory approach. The result shows that aesthetic value can be calculated using a quantitative formula. Despite the formula founded by this study has several weaknesses, this formula was generated from and modestly tested using the questionnaires distributed to various categories of respondents, from public to those who involved in architecture and design education and industry, showing quite high suitability and reliability.

Abstract

Mosques, as central religious architecture in Islam, serve a dual function: as places of worship and centres for community social activities. The evolving nature and diversity of mosque architectural typologies, both in Indonesia and globally, underscore the urgent need for establishing systematic design principles. This research compiles a set of mosque design principles based on relevant interpretations from the Hadith of Bukhari and Muslim. These principles can be applied as prescriptive guidelines for designing new mosques and as an evaluative framework for analysing existing structures. This framework is then integrated with survey findings from the case studies. The case studies focus on three historical mosques in Palembang, South Sumatra: Masjid Ki Marogan (established 1890), Masjid Lawang Kidul (established 1890), and Masjid Suro (established 1889). The selection of these sites is based on their significance as representations of the richness and heritage identity of sustained local Islamic architecture in Palembang. The research methodology employed is a comprehensive field survey, involving the identification and analysis of architectural elements (physical form, spatial layout, and functional activities) against the formulated design principles. The research findings will identify the degree of conformity between the actual conditions of these mosques and the proposed principles. The practical implications of these findings are expected to provide substantive recommendations for mosque management in planning and construction, ensuring that the buildings not only meet functional and religious aspects but also preserve their historical value and strengthen the inherent heritage identity of these three mosques.

Abstract

The development of modern cities over the past few decades tends to overlook the spiritual and symbolic dimensions in urban space design, including in Yogyakarta, which is rich in cultural heritage and spatial philosophy. Rapid urbanization and commercial development have the potential to shift the function of sacred spaces into business and tourism areas, threatening the preservation of spiritual values that form the city’s cultural identity. This study aims to investigate how traditional spiritual values and symbolism persist and transform within the dynamics of contemporary urban spaces in Yogyakarta, as well as to provide recommendations for integrating cultural and spiritual values into future urban planning. An exploratory qualitative approach was employed, focusing on symbolic areas such as the Keraton, Alun-Alun, Tugu Jogja, Malioboro, and Taman Sari. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with cultural experts, architects, and community leaders, as well as visual documentation. The analysis utilized semiotic and spatial methods to map the relationships between symbols, space, and spiritual meanings. The results indicate that Yogyakarta’s landscape structure still preserves strong spiritual values, such as the philosophical axis of Merapi–Keraton–Parangtritis and sacred buildings serving as centers for ritual and social activities. However, urbanization and modernization have led to a shift in spatial functions toward economic orientation, eroding the meanings and community connections with their cultural heritage. The recommendations emphasize the necessity of integrating cultural and spiritual values into spatial planning policies through the preservation of symbolic structures and the adaptation of local design principles. Additionally, strengthening community and indigenous stakeholder participation is crucial to ensure the continued transmission of spiritual values. This approach is expected to foster the development of cities that are not only functional but also socially and spiritually meaningful.

Abstract

The existence of the Village is closely related to the morphology, history, and philosophy of the city of Yogyakarta and is related to the socio-spatial life and its people. Kampung Suronatan experiences intersections of activities that have an impact on the formation of spontaneous spaces along its transitional space. Physical changes in the transitional space and the phenomenon of utilization and territorial claims. This research question refers to how the place process occurs in Kampung Suronatan, as a space with territorial ambivalence. This research was conducted qualitatively, focusing on spatiality and its behavior as a space former. Data were obtained through snapshot observations and short questions which were then analyzed using a behavioral approach. ArcGIS was used to map the location of spontaneous spaces formed in the transitional space. Place process in the transitional space in Suronatan is influenced by spatial tolerance and spatial conceptions influenced by local norms related to spatial territoriality. Place process is defined as a process of spatialization that is spontaneous and temporal. Enriching the theory of place process that has not been linked to territoriality.

Abstract

Feeder Train Services serve as a strategic solution in strengthening connectivity between KCJB main stations and urban areas such as Bandung and Cimahi. This study aims to analyze the evaluation methods or conditions of universal design-based interior wayfinding elements applied at Jakarta-Bandung Fast Train (KCJB) feeder stations. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach with a descriptive qualitative design to identify universal design-based interior wayfinding elements at feeder stations by analyzing academic articles and grey literature from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases between 2021 and 2025. This study describes the regulations and standardization of interior wayfinding components at train stations by reviewing visual, technical, and spatial elements. The results of the literature review show that the evaluation of wayfinding implementation can be done through direct observation and questionnaires for users. This wayfinding evaluation needs to be applied, especially on feeder trains, which will effectively improve user movement efficiency, safety, and overall travel experience, as well as strengthen the integration of public transportation services in metropolitan areas. Furthermore, the literature review also emphasizes that the integration of conceptual evaluation and technical standards in wayfinding is crucial to improve user orientation, accessibility, and travel efficiency, thereby supporting safety and multimodal connectivity at KCJB feeder stations.

Abstract

This paper explores limited spatial conditions and access to water influence domestic arrangements in low-income urban kampong houses. It investigates water related needs to drive creative spatial strategies, including the appropriation of front house areas, shared courtyards, and semi public spaces that associate domestic service areas with the rear sections of dwellings. Water resources play a fundamental role in shaping domestic life and spatial practices in urban kampong environments. In Kampong Sekayu, Semarang, water is not only a vital element for everyday domestic service activities such as cooking, washing, and bathing but also a core determinant in the spatial organization of dwellings. The study also considers the impact of communal water use and neighborhood social structures on household spatial adaptations. By exploring how space is organized through the perspective of water-dependent household activities, this study highlights the unique spatial and social characteristics of urban kampong life, where water becomes a major organizing force in the everyday household landscape.

Abstract

Individual perceptions of urban space are shaped by physical adaptations associated with their region of origin. These psychogeographic factors influence how the body adjusts to environmental changes, including the mechanism of homeostasis (the body’s ability to maintain internal balance), which results in different standards of thermal comfort among individuals. In the thermal context, homeostasis serves as a strong trigger for thermal alliesthesia, a condition in which sensations of comfort or discomfort arise in response to temperature changes relative to the body’s prior state. This study adopts an exploratory approach aimed at assessing the potential detection of such processes in a virtual setting with minimal exposure, using video-based observations of urban environments. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine multivariate relationships between mood states, regional background, and perceptions of physical elements (brightness, shading), as well as their impact on route comfort. The findings indicate that homeostatic processes can still be detected in virtual settings and are positively influenced by psychogeographic background, thereby opening opportunities for applications in spatial design, further research, and place branding, even without direct on-site involvement.

Abstract

Placemaking transforms space into place by arranging form, activity, and meaning aspects. In a historical urban village context, the physical forms of historical objects are often altered due to space scarcity and growing needs. It could weaken the historical meaning of the place. Digital technologies could represent the lost historical forms or activities as digital placemaking strategies. Combining the Pepper Ghost illusion technique and digital projection produces a virtual layer to represent past events superimposed onto the site's surroundings to strengthen the place's meaning. It provides a practical digital placemaking strategy for urban village communities. This study aims to evaluate the design prototype of the virtual layer strategy by identifying factors that affect design performance and proposing design recommendations. This study was conducted by experiment and prototype testing. Testing with participants involved semi-structured interviews for data collection and content analysis to identify the factors. This study also provides schematic design implementation in Kampung Kungfu Kapasan, Surabaya. The results recommend designing the screen on a human scale, balancing environmental brightness for content clarity and visual comfort, as well as integrating installation design and surrounding elements. The overlapping strategy of past and present conditions forms a virtual layer as a layered enclosure. It affects how users perceive the surrounding environment, thereby shaping their perception of the place's meaning.

Abstract

The features of Muhammadiyah Islamic housing in Malang City show the connection between religious beliefs, cultural identity, and urban change. As a key modern Islamic movement, Muhammadiyah influences its members’ living habits through practical, ethical, and functional ideas. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study in the Karangbesuki Sub-District. It includes in-depth interviews, spatial observation, and document reviews. The findings indicate that Muhammadiyah housing has a simple and practical architectural style. It supports worship and social activities while keeping public and private spaces separate. In comparison to other urban Islamic communities in Malang, Muhammadiyah housing places more importance on logical planning and moral order rather than symbolic or decorative displays of faith. This research helps to understand how religious beliefs can create unique types of homes that combine spirituality, simplicity, and modern city living.

Abstract

Islam is a religion that not only brings spiritual and social teachings, but also gives birth to unique artistic and architectural traditions. Mosques as centers of worship, education, and social activities are an important medium in expressing Islamic aesthetic values, one of which is through the use of geometric patterns. These patterns are not merely decorative ornaments, but also have philosophical meanings that reflect the principles of order, unity, and eternity in the teachings of monotheism. This study aims to identify and analyze geometric patterns in the architectural elements of the Abdul Jalil Mosque in Jatipurno, Wonogiri Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of direct observation, documentation, and interviews. The focus of the analysis is directed at the basic geometric forms, symmetry systems, and the aesthetic and symbolic values ​​of the ornaments used. The results show that the dominant geometric pattern is fourfold symmetry, with basic shapes consisting of circles, rectangles, and repeating star patterns. These ornaments are applied consistently to the facade, mihrab, and other structural elements. This research is expected to become a reference in the development of locally based Islamic architecture and support the preservation of the heritage of Islamic ornamental art.
