Abstract

The construction industry is facing increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices due to environmental concerns and resource depletion. This study investigates the use of textile waste as a reinforcing material combined with a resin matrix to develop environmentally friendly roster blocks for building construction applications. In Indonesia, textile waste production has reached critical levels, with approximately 2.3 million tons generated annually and projected to increase to 3.9 million tons by 2030, unless interventions to promote a circular economy are implemented. This study focuses on transforming post-industrial textile waste into valuable composite materials that can serve as sustainable construction alternatives to conventional building materials. Through comprehensive material characterization and performance evaluation, this research aims to demonstrate the viability of textile waste and resin composites as viable construction materials while addressing waste management challenges and sustainable building requirements. The developed composites exhibit promising mechanical properties with potential applications in non-load-bearing structural elements and architectural features.

Abstract

Incremental housing emerges as one of the strategies adopted by communities in informal settlements. Incremental housing develops gradually over time, influenced by increasing household needs and adjusted to residents’ capacity to access adequate housing. This study examines incremental housing from a housing-as-a-process perspective within an informal settlement located in Sleman, Yogyakarta. A qualitative research approach is employed by analyzing physical transformations occurring in dwellings and examining the relationship between spatial aspects and economic capacity, which emerges as a key factor in informal settlements.  Out of 36 buildings identified within the study area, five incremental housing units were selected as case studies. The analysis refers to the concept of housing as a process proposed by Turner and the theory of housing transformation articulated by Habraken. The findings indicate that the housing process is predominantly characterized by transformational forms in the form of horizontal and vertical additions, along with elimination in certain cases. The study also reveals the integration of economic activities within residential spaces. Overall, economic capacity is found to be the primary factor controlling the housing process in the cases examined.

Abstract

The Tasripin Heritage House in Kampung Kulitan, Semarang, represents one of the few surviving examples of traditional Javanese spatial continuity within an urban setting. However, increasing urban densification and physical transformations threaten the legibility of its traditional spatial configuration, particularly the role of the corridor as a transitional connector. This study aims to analyze the spatial configuration of the house, with an emphasis on the functional role of the corridor as the axial connector between spaces. The research employs a spatial configuration analysis using Space Syntax through DepthmapX software. Data were collected through field surveys, architectural documentation, and redrawn floor plans. Axial and convex map analyses were conducted to measure the degree of integration and spatial connectivity. The results reveal that the corridor has the highest integration value, confirming its role as the main transitional axis between public, semi-public, and private zones. The study concludes that the corridor in Javanese heritage houses in Kampung Kulitan functions not only as a circulation element but also as a spatial identity that symbolizes the main axis and the balance between social openness and domestic privacy. This research contributes to the understanding of traditional spatial configuration preservation within the context of urban vernacular architecture.

Abstract

The increase in tourist accommodation needs, particularly in Tanjung Benoa, Bali, has led to the development of unique concepts such as glamping resorts. However, this development must address the crucial issue of Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) conservation, as Tanjung Benoa is a natural habitat for this endangered species. This research aims to solve the architectural design problem of a glamping resort in an environment with conservation issues by implementing the organism-level biomimicry approach on the Green Sea Turtle. This approach utilizes nature-tested solutions to develop a sustainable design. The study employs a design exploration method by substituting the five organism-level biomimicry variables (form, material, construction, process, and function) with the biological characteristics of the Green Sea Turtle. These variables are analyzed based on relevant architectural theories. The result shows a design concept for three glamping unit types that reflects the turtle's form and material composition, an elevated structure adapted from the turtle's skeleton, and spatial and utility planning that supports the turtle's life cycle and coastal ecosystem conservation. This design demonstrates that biomimicry principles provide sustainable tourism solutions by integrating five organism-level variables into technical architectural elements that minimize habitat disruption, preserve nesting grounds, and synchronize the resort's operational cycles with the natural ecosystem of the Green Sea Turtle.

Abstract

This article aims to examine how the Bajau dwelling culture is maintained through the continuity and transformation of spatial symbolic structures derived from boat-based life. This study employs a qualitative interpretative approach to explore the Bajau dwelling culture through spatial symbolic analysis. The analysis includes: (1) Identifying spatial elements derived from boat structures; (2) Interpreting their symbolic meanings; and (3) Examining how these elements are maintained or transformed in permanent residences. Findings of this study reveal that the symbolic meaning of the boat in the Bajau dwelling culture has transformed over time. The boat is no longer understood solely as a house or means of transportation, but also functions in festival performances, tourism support, transportation, and contemporary art as a representation of Bajau identity. The transformation of Bajau dwelling culture is influenced by several factors, including sociological demands, education, government relocation proposals, social interactions with land-based communities, and modernization. However, despite the modernization of dwelling forms and materials Bajau on Sainoa Island, the symbolic structure of the boat remains embedded in the domestic spatial configuration. The spatial hierarchy is still recognizable in both sea- and land-based houses: the bow is the front room, the middle room is the family room and resting area, and the stern is the kitchen.

Abstract

This research examines the comparison of toilet accessibility standards in Special Schools (SLB) in Central Java Province against the provisions in the Regulation of the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (Permen PUPR) Number 14 of 2017 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The background of this research is based on the importance of providing equal sanitation facilities for students with special needs, considering accessibility is a crucial aspect in supporting inclusivity and independence in the educational environment. The urgency of this research lies in the effort to identify the gap between the existing facility conditions and the applicable national and international standards. The research method used is descriptive-comparative through field observation, documentation, and comparative analysis of standards at several Special Schools (SLB) in the Central Java region. Each facility is evaluated based on spatial planning parameters, circulation, equipment dimensions, and supporting elements for people with disabilities. The research results show that although some special schools have adopted the principles of inclusive design, most toilet facilities have not fully met the minimum standards of Permen PUPR No. 14/2017, and even lag behind the provisions in the ADA, particularly in terms of corridor width, door width, door opening direction, and toilet area. This finding underscores the need for continuous evaluation and improvement of accessible facilities in educational environments to align with the principles of universal design and support equality for all students.

Abstract

This study assesses the level of urban vibrancy within the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) area of Lempuyangan Station, Yogyakarta, to evaluate how transit proximity contributes to the formation of an active and integrated urban environment. A quantitative spatial analysis is applied using a 400-meter TOD radius divided into 100 × 100 m grid cells to capture street-level dynamics. Urban vibrancy is measured through a composite index combining mixed-use diversity, morphological permeability, and concentration of people, represented by the Residential–Non-Residential Ratio (RNR), Building Mix Index (BuMi), intersection density, population density, and Point of Interest (POI) distribution. All indicators are normalized using min–max scaling and equally weighted to produce a vibrancy index ranging from 0 to 1. The results show a low weighted average index of 0.31, indicating that the TOD area is dominated by border vacuums (35.5%), formed by large monofunctional infrastructure that interrupts spatial continuity, while most of the area falls into potential vibrant zones (52.97%) where transit proximity exists but lacks sufficient density and functional diversity. Only 11.53% of the area reaches the vibrant category, appearing as small and fragmented active cores, and no grid achieves a very high level of vibrancy. These findings suggest that transit accessibility alone is insufficient to generate urban vibranacy due to monofunctional land use, low mix diversity, large impermeable blocks, and the spatial separation between residential concentration and activity centers. Strengthening vibrancy in the Lempuyangan TOD area therefore requires land-use diversification, increased development density, improved block permeability, and the transformation of inactive edges into active urban seams to create a more balanced and sustainable TOD environment.

Abstract

Lighting contributes not only to visual performance but also to the regulation of human circadian rhythms. One of the key parameters in evaluating circadian-effective lighting is vertical illuminance at eye level, which represents the amount of light reaching the human eye. Based on circadian lighting principles, appropriate levels of vertical illuminance are required to support alertness and biological rhythm alignment during daytime. This study investigates the effects of interior surface reflectance and correlated color temperature (CCT) on vertical illuminance in an open-plan office environment. A parametric simulation was conducted using DIALux evo, based on a fixed layout of office space and luminaires. Two CCT conditions representing daytime lighting were applied: 6500 K (08:00–12:00) and 5000 K (12:00–16:00). Interior surface reflectance values for ceiling, walls, and floor were systematically varied to evaluate their impact. The simulation excludes daylight contribution to isolate the effects of artificial lighting parameters. The results show that the average vertical illuminance ranges from 381 lux to 571 lux across all scenarios. High-reflectance scenarios produce illuminance levels exceeding 500 lux, indicating strong circadian stimulation but potential overlighting conditions. In contrast, low-reflectance scenarios fall within the recommended range of 250–500 lux, providing more balanced circadian-effective lighting. These findings indicate that interior surface reflectance has a significant influence on vertical illuminance, while the effect of CCT is not significant under the studied conditions. Therefore, reflectance can be considered a critical design parameter in achieving circadian-supportive lighting environments in office spaces.

Abstract

Stilt houses are one type of vernacular architecture found throughout Indonesia. Each stilt house has its own construction system that has been used for hundreds of years. One of the construction systems found in the stilt houses along the Kuin River in Banjarmasin City is the Tihang Construction. This construction technique uses continuous ironwood poles from the foundation to the roof support beams and is used as the main structural pillar. There is a new phenomenon where the Tihang Construction is starting to be rarely used in today’s era. This study then aims to determine the factors causing the disappearance of the Tihang Construction system in stilt houses in the Kuin River area of ​​​​Banjarmasin City. This study used a qualitative exploratory method with field surveys and interviews. From the survey results, a total of 37 stilt houses were randomly sampled, and 11 houses were selected to become interview respondents. The results of this study indicate that the Tihang Construction is no longer used due to changes in spiritual beliefs among young people. The use of tihang was originally a belief held by nobles who owned stilt houses in ancient times, so that their homes would last longer and not be easily abandoned by their occupants. This belief turned out to be contrary to the ease and efficiency of the construction of stilt houses, so that this construction system lost its sustainability and began to be abandoned.

Abstract

BRT Stops in tropical urban contexts often experience operational pressures that exceed their design capacity. This study examines architectural distress at the Tanjung Duren BRT Stop, West Jakarta, as a form of performative architectural failure. A mixed-method approach was applied, comprising spatial density analysis, circulation assessment, envelope material evaluation, thermal estimation, and user behavior observation. The findings reveal extreme crowding at 5–6 persons/m², circulation conflicts caused by a ±0.9 m bottleneck, and heat accumulation reaching approximately 51.7°C. These conditions induce psychological stress and defensive user behavior. This study conceptualizes architectural distress as a spatio-temporal, multidimensional, and replicable analytical framework for transit architecture.
