Abstract

This paper delves into the application of green building aspects in historical and modern homes, driven by the imperative to address the environmental impacts of building construction. Against the backdrop of evolving human needs and architectural forms, the study aims to assess the extent of green building implementation in typical old and modern houses. Methodologically, the research conducts a comprehensive analysis of six key aspects of green building—Appropriate Site Development, Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Water Conservation, Material Resources and Cycle, Indoor Health and Comfort, and Building Environment Management—through random observations of representative buildings from different time periods. The results indicate a notable discrepancy in the adoption of green aspects between historical and modern homes, with historical houses exhibiting a higher degree of integration. Specifically, historical homes scored 41 points in green aspect implementation, while modern houses scored 22 points. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing sustainable building practices to mitigate environmental impacts and promote holistic well-being in residential constructions.

Abstract

The research intends to evaluate the planning design based on the initial mutual check (MC-0) of a large-scale building plan as a result of Joint ventures (KSO) between two planning consultants who differ in planning design experience; one consultant is from Java, and the other is from outside Java. The study's topic is building planning in the Kalimantan region. The design employs descriptive qualitative research based on data from a documentary study of project weekly meeting report archives and data analysis using non-numerical methods such as SWOT analysis. Research results: (1) The weakness of KSO with consultants from outside Java is the difference in experience and work ethic of Human Resources. (2) The obstacle to employing a large number of workers is the difficulty of supervising and coordinating work, which causes errors in the drawing and calculation of the BQ (bill of quantity) volume used in the job auction. (3) The results of the pile indicator analysis conclude that the depth of the precast pile foundation can be reduced. (4) In responding to the preliminary work, the contractor seeks to propose as much additional work as possible and ask for the smallest possible amount of less work. In comparison, the owner seeks to use the remaining funds from less work as additional work costs to increase the function and architectural appearance of the building.

Abstract

: Architectural education is based on acquiring theoretical and applied knowledge.  As a result, experiential learning theory was frequently applied to architecture design courses.  As experiential learning refers to gaining knowledge by doing, it allows the students to experience implementing the theoretical knowledge and refine their design solutions by communicating with the teachers.  The present study aims to integrate experimental learning in a theoretical course named "Building Information" on housing designs for first-year undergraduate architecture students.  After eight weeks of the theoretical lecture period, the students were assigned to design a house using one of the specific approaches, namely accessibility, climate responsiveness, or flexibility.  The occupants of the houses were defined, and the students determined their spatial needs.  After the critique sessions, the house designs were presented with drawings and analogue models as the final product.  Three selected examples from each design approach were evaluated in the study.  The results showed that the students gained and implemented theoretical knowledge more efficiently with the integration of experimental learning.

Abstract

Indonesia's population growth has slowed, yet low-income people still require affordable urban housing. Land scarcity, limited financial options, and complicated home funding provide significant challenges. This study analyses existing literature to find ways to provide cheap housing to Indonesian middle-class residents. The study examines land use, financing, and cash availability. The findings show that MBR cannot get funding due to high costs and strict criteria, while the scarcity of urban land is hindering development. The analysis recommends using unused government land and promoting vertical housing to maximise land use, investigating microfinance and lease-purchase schemes, and simplifying housing fund access. These hurdles can be overcome to provide fair and affordable housing for all in Indonesia, promoting social stability and sustainable urban expansion.

Abstract

This study examines sustainable facility development strategies in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) via a comparative analysis of Pondok Pesantren Assalafi Al Fithrah and Pondok Pesantren Al-Amanah Junwangi. The research utilizes qualitative approaches such as facility documentation, direct observation, user surveys, and management interviews carried out from August to September 2022. Analysis identifies eight essential characteristics for sustainable facility development: water conservation, energy management, waste management, health concerns, disaster readiness, sustainable site management, and environmentally friendly materials. Results indicate that effective implementation necessitates both passive and active environmental solutions. Passive strategies in architectural design demonstrate efficacy through natural ventilation systems, ideal building orientation, and the incorporation of green spaces, whereas active strategies, such as waste management systems and energy conservation programs, exhibit inconsistent levels of performance. The research delineates principal obstacles to implementation, such as deficiencies in technical skills, expenses associated with infrastructure development, spatial limits, and issues in operational management. The study presents an optimization methodology that highlights integrated resource monitoring systems, centralized waste management facilities, improved passive design elements, and reinforced community participation initiatives. These findings offer a thorough framework for the creation of eco-friendly pesantren facilities, enhancing both theoretical comprehension and practical implementation strategies for Islamic educational institutions aiming for environmental sustainability objectives. Future research prospects lie in the development of quantitative assessment methodologies for facility performance and the enhancement of stakeholder engagement in environmental management initiatives.
