Abstract

Saparua Sports Hall in Bandung, a type C cultural heritage building designed in the Jengki architectural style, faces a challenge between the preservation of its historical value and the demands of moderen functionality. The building possesses significant historical and architectural merit, particularly its wooden façade, yet its spatial layout and facilities no longer meet contemporary standards. This research aims to formulate an adaptive design concept that bridges these two aspects through a qualitative approach and a case study. The result is a concept centered on a "dialogue" between old and new elements. This includes the restoration of the wood and natural stone façade, a flexible reorganization of the internal space, and the addition of lightweight moderen elements that do not dominate the original character of the building. This strategy facilitates a harmonious functional adaptation, transforming Saparua Sports Hall from merely a historical monument into a relevant sporting venue for the moderen era. This study underscores the importance of balancing cultural value preservation with practical needs, noting that limited documentation presents a primary challenge. The proposed concept can serve as a reference for the revitalization of similar cultural heritage buildings.

Abstract

Abstract The development of the urban population has increased significantly every year, especially in areas close to educational centers such as universities in Surabaya. Where there are scholarships that facilitate student dormitories for 2 full years from various groups, and regions throughout Indonesia, namely AMN Surabaya. The environment of the Indonesian student dormitory needs to support the comfort and mental health of its residents. However, because of cultural differences from sabang to Merauke, students are less adaptable in the Surabaya environment. Therefore, a therapeutic architectural approach is needed in the design of spaces that support psychological and physical health, so this approach is suitable for overcoming problems. This study aims to determine the extent to which the application of therapeutic architectural principles in the design of the National Student Dormitory (AMN) in Surabaya as a form of vertical housing for students. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, by collecting direct observation data and document analysis related to the principles of therapeutic architecture. This study is resulted in an exploration of the potential application of therapeutic architectural principles in the design of student housing, focusing on the case of AMN Surabaya, and contributing to the development of architectural designs that are more humanistic and responsive to the psychological needs of residents.

Abstract

The waiting area in a hospital is a very important space in shaping the emotional experience of patients and visitors. One strategy to increase comfort and reduce anxiety levels in the waiting room is to apply biophilic elements, especially the direct experience of nature element that connects users of the space directly with natural elements. This study aims to analyze the application of biophilic elements of direct experience of nature in the waiting area of Sakinah Hospital in Mojokerto. The method used is descriptive qualitative with direct observation techniques, visual documentation, and interviews with users of the waiting room. The focus of the analysis includes the presence of natural light, water, living vegetation, views of nature, natural air circulation, and changes in temperature and natural wind. The findings of this study confirm that the application of biophilic elements does not have to rely on high technology, but rather requires a design approach that is open, contextual, and in harmony with the local environment. The results of the study are expected to provide an overview of the implementation of biophilic elements in hospital waiting rooms and become a reference in designing public spaces based on natural experiences.

Abstract

Universal design is an environmental design approach aimed at creating spaces that can be used equally by all individuals. This concept serves as an essential foundation for developing an inclusive campus that is welcoming to all members of the academic community, including persons with disabilities and individuals with limited mobility. This study aims to evaluate the existing conditions of facilities at Tanjungpura University based on the principles of universal design and to formulate a schematic concept for its implementation toward an inclusive campus. The method employed is the Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) with an investigative model, combined with an architectural design approach grounded in universal design principles. Data were collected through field observations and evaluations of technical, functional, and user-behavioral aspects. The analysis resulted in an evaluation matrix that serves as the basis for developing a schematic design concept applying universal design principles to campus spaces and facilities. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing an inclusive, safe, and comfortable campus environment while contributing to the advancement of architectural knowledge through publication in nationally accredited scientific journals.

Abstract

The development of brick production clusters in Talang Betutu has occurred in an unstructured manner, with many units located within residential areas. This condition creates environmental and infrastructural issues, including air pollution from combustion processes and road deterioration caused by heavy truck traffic. These problems indicate the absence of an effective spatial planning framework for organizing production activities. This study aims to develop a spatial design model for a brick production district based on circular economy principles by integrating material, energy, and water flows. A qualitative–quantitative approach is employed, combining Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Material Flow Analysis (MFA), field observations, and spatial morphology analysis. The findings reveal that the existing spatial configuration lacks clear production zoning, resulting in inefficient material flows and high transportation energy consumption. A productive circular landscape model is proposed through a linear production flow approach, organizing material, wet processing, drying, and energy zones. Excavation ponds are integrated as a water-based spatial structure to enhance resource efficiency and microclimate regulation. This model demonstrates potential to improve spatial efficiency, reduce environmental impacts, and minimize infrastructure damage, while contributing a spatial design framework for circular small-scale industrial clusters

Abstract

Manado Chinatown has an urban heritage character shaped by its commercial corridor, shophouses, Chinese temples, and continuing cultural activities. Facade alterations, limited open space, parking conflicts, and inadequate pedestrian conditions may weaken the district’s spatial legibility. This study identifies the principal spatial characteristics and physical issues and formulates preliminary planning directions based on urban heritage. The findings indicate a compact urban structure in which built mass accounts for approximately 87% of the study area, a linear mixed-use pattern, D.I. Panjaitan Street as the primary path, and Chinese temples as the principal landmarks. The main issues are limited open space, pedestrian obstructions, on-street parking, and visual alterations to building facades. The preliminary directions include strengthening the continuity of the heritage corridor, improving basic pedestrian conditions, managing parking and residual spaces, and controlling the visual character of buildings. These findings provide initial input for physical planning rather than final implementation plan.

Abstract

Therapeutic gardens are green open spaces that provide physiological and psychological benefits through human interaction with nature. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a therapeutic garden on users’ physiological and psychological conditions and to examine the influence of plant visual characteristics on user comfort. A mixed-methods approach with a pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 30 respondents. Physiological data were measured using heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO₂), while psychological data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Paired sample t-tests, Wilcoxon tests, and bivariate correlation analyses were employed to evaluate changes in respondents’ conditions and the relationship between plant visual characteristics and psychological responses. The results showed that the therapeutic garden improved comfort, calmness, relaxation, and mood while reducing stress levels. Physiologically, the average heart rate decreased by 10.73 bpm, whereas SpO₂ remained within the normal range. Plant color composition showed a stronger influence on psychological responses than plant form and vegetation height. These findings indicate that therapeutic gardens have the potential to promote physiological relaxation and psychological well-being and provide design recommendations through the addition of shade vegetation, aromatic plants, and enhanced vegetation stratification.

Abstract

Vernacular architecture is often referenced in the development of low-energy buildings, yet evidence of its thermal performance remains dispersed across the literature. This systematic review examines passive thermal performance and indoor thermal comfort in vernacular architecture, with climate-responsive design studies used as supporting evidence. Scopus was searched via Publish or Perish on May 23, 2026, for English-language publications from 2010 to 2026. Reporting followed PRISMA 2020 and PRISMA-S. Of 72 search results, 35 publications met the eligibility criteria, including 28 studies of vernacular or traditional buildings and seven application-oriented studies. Meta-analysis was not conducted because study designs and outcomes were too heterogeneous. The synthesis identified four recurring strategy groups: material systems and thermal mass; courtyard configuration and spatial organization; natural ventilation and opening control; and shading, vegetation, and solar radiation control. Associated mechanisms included temperature moderation, thermal buffering, air movement, humidity regulation, radiation control, and seasonal heat storage and release. Occupant-based studies generally indicated positive patterns in satisfaction, thermal acceptability, and adaptive comfort, although outcomes remained context-dependent. The review proposes a framework linking architectural parameters, passive strategies, environmental mechanisms, comfort indicators, and occupant responses. Vernacular principles should be tested and adapted to specific contexts rather than applied as universal solutions.

Abstract

Mental rehabilitation centers are a type of integrated treatment for people with mental health issues to help them get back to functioning and being independent. When it comes to healing, the physical environment of the rehab center is a big deal. Comfort factors based on the patient's biological, psychological, and social characteristics will create an environment that helps the patient recover. The primary objective of this study is to analyze patient comfort related to spatial arrangement at the rehabilitation center, referencing the provisions of Ministry of Public Works Regulation No. 29 of 2006 on building comfort. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, with data collected through field observations and interviews. Results of the analysis indicate that, based on patient characteristics and applicable regulations, the mental rehabilitation center under study meets comfort standards for its users.
