Abstract

Colonial architecture and urban planning have historically served as potent tools for asserting dominance and enforcing social hierarchies within colonized regions. This paper examines the multifaceted role of architecture in colonial power structures, focusing on its applications in urban planning and design during the French colonial era, with insights applicable to broader colonial contexts. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from postcolonial studies, this study explores how urban spaces were strategically designed to reinforce segregation, alienate indigenous populations, and symbolize colonial authority. The research method involves a critical analysis of case studies from Algiers and Hanoi, as well as a review of key texts including Gwendolyn Wright’s The Politics of Design in French Colonial Urbanism and Davide Ponzini’s Transnational Architecture and Urbanism. These sources illuminate how colonial administrators adapted European planning models and integrated transnational architectural influences to craft spaces of both dominance and cultural negotiation. Findings reveal that while colonial architecture functioned as a mechanism of control, indigenous communities subverted its intent through cultural adaptations and repurposing of spaces. Additionally, the hybridization of colonial and local architectural styles highlights the complexities of power, negotiation, and resilience in colonized urban landscapes. This study underscores the enduring impact of colonial urban planning on contemporary cities, where spatial inequalities and inherited architectural forms persist. It advocates for postcolonial urban planning approaches that prioritize inclusivity and cultural representation, transforming colonial legacies into equitable urban environments. These insights hold significant implications for architects, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to reconcile historical imbalances and foster socially cohesive communities.

Abstract

Bali, renowned for its rich cultural heritage and scenic landscapes, has emerged as a prominent destination for global tourism, leading to substantial economic advantages. Nonetheless, the swift expansion of mass tourism has introduced numerous challenges, especially concerning architectural integrity. Traditional Balinese architecture, which is profoundly anchored in the principles of Tri Hita Karana highlighting the necessity for balance among humanity, nature, and the divine now encounters mounting pressures from the arrival of Western-style commercial constructions. These contemporary constructions frequently emphasize financial gain and visual appeal at the expense of sustainability and cultural authenticity, resulting in ecological harm, the forced relocation of local populations, and the deterioration of Bali's distinctive cultural heritage. This study investigates the effects of mass tourism on Balinese architecture, examining the extent to which traditional principles are supplanted by globalized design practices. It employs the framework of Critical Regionalism to suggest solutions that incorporate local materials, cultural knowledge, and environmental factors into contemporary tourism infrastructure. By integrating Tri Hita Karana, this paper promotes a comprehensive approach to tourism development that reconciles the island’s economic advancement with the conservation of its spiritual and ecological values. The research contends that the advancement of sustainable tourism in Bali should transcend immediate financial benefits and concentrate on enduring strategies that honor the island’s cultural heritage and ecological boundaries. It utilizes comparative cases from Southeast Asia to illustrate how Bali can adopt a contemporary yet culturally rooted perspective on architecture, thereby guaranteeing that the island continues to be a sustainable and culturally vibrant locale for forthcoming generations.

Abstract

The catastrophic flood disaster of July 2021 in Germany, often named the “century flood,” has underscored the growing urgency of climate change and its impact on urban and rural environments. This event, which claimed over 180 lives and caused widespread damage, is emblematic of a broader trend of increasing extreme weather phenomena such as floods, heatwaves and droughts exacerbated by climate change. As a response there is an emerging need for innovative approaches in architecture, particularly in integrating climate-responsive designs that enhance sustainability and resilience. This paper explores the potential for incorporating tropical architectural principles into German design practices, aiming to address the challenges posed by climate change. By comparing the climate-adaptive strategies of tropical architecture with traditional German building styles this research investigates the feasibility of blending these approaches to create energy efficient, sustainable and culturally sensitive architectural solutions. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and case studies the paper evaluates the opportunities and limitations of such integration, particularly concerning materials, energy efficiency and cultural differences. The study ultimately proposes that a fusion of tropical and German architectural elements could contribute significantly to sustainable living in the face of climate change, offering new pathways for adaptive and environmentally conscious design in Germany.

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of tourism architecture on local communities and cultural identity in Bali. The rapid growth of tourism has driven significant changes in traditional residential structures, cultural practices, and social dynamics, leading to concerns about the erosion of Bali’s unique heritage. The increasing demand for modern tourist facilities has disrupted the traditional balance between architecture, culture, and community life. Sacred spaces and traditional layouts are being replaced by structures designed to meet the needs of tourism, resulting in the fragmentation of communities and the loss of cultural authenticity. Traditional rituals and practices have been commodified, further weakening the social and spiritual fabric of the island. The findings highlight the critical challenges posed by unregulated tourism development, which threatens both cultural identity and environmental sustainability. Bali’s situation illustrates the broader challenges faced by regions seeking to balance tourism growth with the preservation of cultural and ecological heritage. This work emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices that respect local traditions while addressing the pressures of global tourism. It provides valuable insights for understanding the transformative effects of tourism architecture on culture and community life.

Abstract

Thailand’s traditional architecture embodies a harmonious interplay between cultural identity, environmental adaptability, and spiritual beliefs. Its preservation was largely facilitated by the country’s unique status as Southeast Asia’s only nation to avoid colonization. This study examines the Jim Thompson House as a case study to explore vernacular Thai design, historical development, and challenges posed by modernization. With its steep roofs, stilted designs, and intricate craftsmanship, the house is celebrated as a masterpiece of traditional Thai architecture. However, questions arise regarding its authenticity as a representation of everyday Thai housing. This research also delves into the sociocultural and economic transformations that have contributed to the decline of traditional housing forms in modern Thailand. Findings reveal how the principles of vernacular Thai design can inform sustainable and culturally resonant architectural practices for contemporary challenges such as urbanization and climate change. Ultimately, this research argues that rather than viewing tradition and modernity as opposing forces, they can coexist, offering pathways to a more culturally enriched and sustainable architectural future. The Jim Thompson House serves not only as a historical artifact but as a source of enduring lessons for innovative design solutions today.

Abstract

This paper explores how Balinese architecture adapts to globalization pressures by blending traditional architectural elements with modern sustainable practices. Using Tzonis and Lefaivre’s theory of critical regionalism as a framework, the study examines eco-resorts in Bali as case studies of sustainable tropical architecture that respect cultural heritage while addressing the demands of an international tourism industry. Through these examples, the analysis evaluates how the combination of traditional Balinese design principles with contemporary innovations has achieved sustainable development within the eco-tourism context.
